    Private Van Tour - Extremely disappointing

    Maureen_P, Feb 2026
    This tour is described as a private tour with flexibility on what the traveller wants to do. Our driver basically refused to do any of the things we really wanted to do. Upon picking us up, he had several "suggestions" none of which was what we hired a private driver for. It was very clear he would only take us where he had personal connections. We kept asking him to take us other places and were told it was not possible. We ended up going to one beach, for $220 cost of this "tour". A taxi would have cost much less. We wanted to drive around the area, up into the hills, etc. Drive and sightsee. The beach we were taken to was also clearly in the pockets of these tour operators. We had a very expensive lunch at a restaurant that had 2 menus. One for the ripoff/cruise passenger prices. The other at less than half price for everyone else. We didn't need to book through Viator to get that experience. Overall it left a very bad impression of the Dominican Republic.
