Great time

Paul_D, Nov 2022

Fantastic time. Our guide was so knowledgeable and really took the time to explain everything. We got to visit a local food market, school, basilica, traditional home! Exactly what we wanted to experience.

See the city

Interesting and informative tour. The guide did a good job of improvising when rain started at noon time.

Not as Described

Masiel_Y, Sep 2019

This is more of a minivan trip up the mountain and a ride to the church. The guide made up the trip as we went along. He mentioned he was deported from the USA. He also sent us into the church alone because the Bishop didn’t allow him to go inside for unknown reasons. He did take good pictures of us. We never went to a school and he was not aware it said that on the excursion description. On the way back to the resort, the driver did not have money to pay the toll. He asked us for the money. No preparation. And felt unsafe. Do not book.

Getting off the beaten bath

NANCYR_H, Jun 2019

Our cruise ship docked too late to catch an early, all day country tour so this ended up being a private tour to visit the backcountry mountains, a working planation, and a downtown open-air community market. It was so interesting; we enjoyed getting off the beaten path and away from all the tourist traps. Our guide was knowledgable and very personable We were served a delicious authentic lunch of local cuisine. Requested plantains and they made some fresh just for us. Very enjoyable day for the 4 of us. Nancy

it was a wonderful experience. It was good to see how people in the city live. We had an excellent tour guide and learnt a lot about the history of the different places visited. We rolled our own very cigars, got some sugar cane, fruits from the market, and had some real local DR cuisine not included in tour cost. All in all, it was a great excursion.

This tour was excellent! They offered more than they described, they had Open Bar through out the day, they made sure you are comfortable every second. The local experience was very good, and recommend guests to bring some stationery, toys, etc not cash to the local kids, they appreciate it very much. The horse back riding was fun, and the Macao Beach is extremely beautiful, we wish we could stay longer in the beach. Our tour guide is Raphel, his team picked us up on time and great service. Highly recommend this tour.
