It was a 2 hour and 45-minute drive from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo. You need to know Spanish as no one could speak English on the tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Thomas, First and foremost, we sincerely thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your excursion to Santo Domingo. We truly value your input, as it helps us improve our services. We would like to take this opportunity to offer some clarifications, with the sole aim of explaining how we organize our excursions to ensure a safe and satisfying experience for all our travelers. 1. Regarding the travel time: The journey between Punta Cana and Santo Domingo takes approximately 2.5 hours when traveling at the permitted speed. Safety is our absolute priority, and our drivers strictly adhere to established speed limits. Additionally, to provide this service, our drivers undertake an even longer trip, as they depart from Punta Cana, which represents a significant commitment of time and logistics on our part. 2. Regarding languages during the tour: We understand your observation. On shared or regular tours, such as the one you enjoyed, it is common for travelers of different nationalities to participate. Our guide speaks several languages precisely to cater to this diverse group. Their role is to explain instructions, history, and points of interest in the languages necessary so that all participants—not only English speakers—can understand the information and feel included. This enriches the group experience, but we understand it may result in less time dedicated exclusively to one language.In fact, our guide works as a language teacher on his days off, teaching English and French at a school. 3. Regarding the option of a single-language tour: For clients who prefer a more personalized experience with linguistic attention focused on a single language, we offer the option of booking a private tour. In this format, the guide dedicates themselves exclusively to your group, fully adapting to your language preferences and pace. We reiterate our gratitude for choosing our excursions. We regret if any aspect of the logistics or the multilingual explanations did not meet your expectations. We hope that, despite these details, you were still able to enjoy the beauty and history of Santo Domingo. We remain at your disposal for any future inquiries.
