What are people saying about Santo Domingo

PRISSY_G, Jun 2026

Let me start by saying: WOW!

Let me start by saying: WOW! This tour was truly one of the most incredible experiences I've had. From the very beginning, everything was seamless. Pickup was right on time—in fact, Daniel arrived early, which I really appreciated since I was early too! The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and perfect for the day ahead. Daniel, our guide, was informative, attentive, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. After picking up two other families, he gave us an honest overview of the day, offered helpful suggestions, and made sure everyone was comfortable before heading to the river. He even asked if anyone was craving anything and went out of his way to help people find what they wanted, whether it was cherry juice, ice cream, or a beer. Once we arrived, Daniel and Mistoline gave us a quick warm-up, and then the adventure began! We explored stunning caves with crystal-clear, refreshing water. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I brought a waterproof phone case, and Mistoline kindly took over as our photographer, which allowed everyone in the group to relax, interact, and enjoy the experience together. I was honestly terrified at times and slipped more than once, but both Daniel and Mistoline were incredibly supportive. They helped me and the other women navigate the more challenging areas safely, making sure everyone felt comfortable and secure. What I appreciated most was that we never felt rushed. After each beautiful cave, we had time to pause, take it all in, and truly appreciate our surroundings. After the tour, we stopped at a local restaurant where the owners treated us like family. We enjoyed a delicious family-style meal, played Dominican dominoes, and drank the coldest Presidente beers I had during my entire trip—especially the Vestida de Novia! On the way back, Daniel even stopped for ice cream before personally dropping each of us off at our destinations. I honestly can't stop recommending this experience. It showed me a completely different side of the Dominican Republic and created memories I'll never forget. Thank you, Daniel and Mistoline, for such an amazing day!

Wonderful way to see the old town and learn the history of the Dominican Republic! Our guide kept us all entertained with stories at each stop and pointed out locations we could come back to and spend more time later. My family of four had an excellent time - thank you!

Wonderful company! Amazing communication before during and after our transfer. They were waiting with a sign with our name on it, kind helpful driver. Office staff checked right at the beginning if we needed a return trip as well. We definitely recommend this company. Very reasonable price, drove thru various weather and traffic. Safely and comfortably. 5 star

Hiking and Hidden River Tour in Santo Domingo

Allegra_B, Mar 2026

I had a great time on...

I had a great time on this escape into nature! The river was beautiful and very fun to swim in, and we were the only people there so it was truly peaceful. The hiking portion was very short but agility is required to walk over rocks and through rivers. Jonathan was super friendly and attentive and I felt very comfortable with him as a solo female traveler. The drive was a bit long but it was worth it to get out of the city into nature!

From Santo Domingo Saona Island Food And Drink Catamaran Vip

Kristine_N, Mar 2026

Best excursion ever !!

For me, I loved it. It was a long day trip but full of entertainment that last for a long time. There was dancing entertainment and most of us danced. There was unlimited drinks and we stoped to swim in the natural pool. The food was great with unlimited drinks and pictures as well. I throughly enjoyed myself. The only thing to be mindful of is that after the first stop everyone is wet so the floor is slippery. You need to be very careful that you don’t slip and fall on the boat. So if you are an older adult or if you are caring for older adults, please be very very very careful so they don’t fall!

Romana: Cave of wonders and Chavón from Santo Domingo.

Hollie_F, Feb 2026

Beautiful sights

Great experience. My driver was exceptional and really informative. The cave of wonders was beautiful - so magical. Romona - only lunch but a nice setting over looking the river. Quite basic but did the trick. Chavon - a lovely setting up in the hills, the old stone buildings and amphitheatre were great to see. Marina - my driver did not know this was included so do not expect this on your trip as I did. However, he was super kind and took me anyway and we saw the lovely beach and the boats of the marina - and I treated him to some ice cream which we enjoyed whilst taking in the view.

Excursion to the Three Eyes Park and the Colón Lighthouse

Abraham_M, Feb 2026

Great tour.

This felt like a private tour as my party of four were the only participants. Leopoldo, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the history of both the cenotes (Los tres ojos) as well as the Columbus Lighthouse. He did all the explaining in English for the convenience of my son in law that speaks only English. The transportation was a little awkward, almost felt like they use Uber for transportation, but we really didn't mind and overall enjoyed the tour very much.

Mendes_M, Dec 2025

Excellent Service

Excellent service, when I arrived I was kind of nervous because I don’t speak Spanish, Mr Abreu texted me to let me know the driver was there waiting for me, when I got to the hotel, the driver went in there with me to help me which was beyond my expectation. The car was clean and nice and I had a positive experience. Highly Recommended!

Airport to Airbnb transport

Christian waited for us with patience and was very communicative. He met us with a sign and was very friendly, even assisting us with exchanging money at a good rate. We also contracted him for transport to Boca Chica. His car was clean and smelled good. We enjoyed the conversation and his knowledge of the location. Gracias Christian por todo.

Saona Island, memorable all-inclusive experience, from Santo Domingo.

Rasheedah_A, Nov 2025

Rum Sun & Saona

It’s amazing ! The driver reached out the night before to tell me what time they would be arriving to pick me up at the Airbnb. They were prompt and friendly. They took us to the beach where we met the captain and they gave us a green colored string to wear which I loved so you know who is with who . We then boarded a smaller boat to get onto a catamaran. On the catamaran we were given rum and coke and there was music and dancing. We arrived at a first island where we got off to swim And enjoy for a bit - we saw a leatherback turtle While here which was an absolutely amazing experience.. We then went on to Saona - we got smaller boats to take us on land - there again we had free drinks and a delicious lunch prepared for us. Saona island was absolutely beautiful and we spent the entire afternoon swimming and drinking. We got onto smaller speed boats to return to The mainland and again more rum and coke lol . On getting back to shore the driver was waiting for Us. An amazing experience overall and I would highly recommend.

Half Day Excursion Colonial Zone Lighthouse to Colón and Tres Ojos from Santo Domingo

Naya_R, Oct 2025

DR exploration

My friend and I enjoyed this experience. Our guide NELSON was accommodating, informative, helpful, caring, and a great person. I would say add an extra hour of wiggle room to your itinerary. We’re on island time and it’s important to not pack your day with other events because you don’t want to feel rushed on the tour. Take time to explore, shop and taste the local fresh coconuts and other fruits.
