Our tour guide Danielo was incredible as was our chauffeur! From start to finish it was nonstop laughs and learning. No Mickey Mouse business it’s the real deal. Book it you will not regret!

    Beware tourists!!!

    Tour bus never came, then lied about it and refused me a refund. American tourist beware! I would have given no stars but this system won’t allow it.

    Amazing tour and fun people

    This was the perfect cultural tour. A bit of everday life for real locals in the city, the country, small town and farm life. Our guide was patient and informative. Our driver was quite skilled for city traffic, mountain navigation and impossible parking made possible with him behind the wheel. I don't care for shopping but today I did. If you want a coffee mug or coffee from the place that grows it, take the tour. Taste chocolate from the tree our guide chose to process in front of you. Make a cigar for yourself or a friend. Ride a horse, swim near the brave surfers waiting for the perfect set. Bring tip money for the locals who let you into their home. And the street market! It was right out of a movie. I bought spices, so many inexpensive spices.

    Our tour guide was Teo, the excursion was fantastic. If you want to see a lot in a fairly short time, this is the excursion to book. Teo knew alll things Dominican. He was great. We had a little trouble getting on the correct transfer and were told our tour was cancelled for some reason, but it got worked out.

    Great tour

    This is a true cultural experience of Dominica, see how the locals go about their day, the historical sites made it a very good experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. The sites he took us on exceeded our expectations. At the end of the experience we felt connected with the people of Dominican Republic. Daniel gave us a very personal experience and i would recommend it for everyone.

    Great Tour

    The tour was informative. The driver was excellent. We were taking all over to see the typical lifestyle of the people in the Dominican Republic. It was an eye-opening experience and something everyone should partake in.

    Fun time

    This was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide Teo was a blast and made sure our family had a phenomenal experience. Learning about the countries history was very educational. I definitely recommend this excursion as you see beautiful parts of the country. Seeing the Basilica was jaw dropping, Being able to try chocolate in every form was very cool, eating a typical Dominican lunch was delicious, the market area was great to see how they handle a lot of there meats and produce and the kiddos loved the horseback riding. Macao beach was a beautiful location to end to trip. I cannot speak highly enough of the good times we had on this trip.

    Awesome tour of the country side and the city of Higuey. Our guide Dao was very informative about the country. His English was very good. Pleasant trip to see how Dominicans live. Thank you Dao!

    Excellent experience

    Danilo is an excellent tour guide. Honest and funny. "No Mickey Mouse". We came away with a better understanding of the Dominican culture. We got a personalized tour and Danilo was very happy to engage and answer my questions. Jose was our driver and was also excellent. He even gave us mangoes! Only downside is feeling pressured by the local Dominicans to buy souvenirs on Macao Beach. Other than that, we had a great time!
