All of it, though from our hotel, which was Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa, the round trip was more like 13 journey, not 10. Transportation says 7.30am pick up, but night before got notification it was going to be 6.50am. At 6.40am, the driver was rushing us to get on the bus. The guide was fantastic and made every moment enjoyable.

The tour guide and driver were very nice and helpful

It was a long bus ride and not a comfortable ride. It was not well air conditioned and the seat were very small for two people

Great Experience

Michelle_F, Oct 2025

It’s a long two hours and a half ride from Punta Cana to the capital. We saw some amazing sights and great food. Also stopped at several shopping spots. Our guide was Leo, he was great. It started to rain and he gave everyone umbrellas. He was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Longer day than expected, interesting though

Kendra_S, Oct 2025

Various tours apparently funnel together to fill a bus, and the logistics caused the tour to be about three hours longer than expected. The English-speaking guides were almost adequate, leaving us in the dark (and almost costing us a ride back to our resort at the end!) some of the time about what was going on. It was an okay way to go from Punta Cana to Santa Domingo so we could see the sites there. We saw all the sites indicated in the itinerary. Lunch was just okay. It was too many people to do much more than participate in the herding. Still, we did see the sites and did make it there and back safely. I would recommend it with some reservation....

city tour day

You can see Santo Domingo in better ways

This tour is not as described except you do see Santo Domingo. The pick up process is chaotic and unexplained. Our pickup almost didn’t happen because they thought we were already on the bus. When they came back, they parked a distance away and WHISTLED at us like dogs, then yelled for us to come on and get in. After we’re on the bus we were glared at most of the way to another exchange station at a gas station. Nothing, nothing, was explained to us along the way there. The driver said hello and that was it. Once we were added to a Santo Domingo tour group at the gas station, we were on the same bus that brought us there. We were packed in so tight that jump seats were used. The “helper” that whistled and yelled at us, squeezed in between passengers on one jump seat and invaded personal spaces and stretched out putting his feet up by a guest. * see photos A little broken information was given to us that we would be picking up our tour guide two hours later in Santo Domingo which we did. Leo was an informative and caring guide. He actually was the best thing about the tour except the lunch. We did see quite a bit of the city and its sights with Leo giving us historical info along the way. Contrary to what the description said, the only gastronomy part of the tour was a buffet lunch and gas station snacks. Also what was not said in the description is that this is at least a 50% walking tour. It only says not wheelchair accessible and good for most travelers. Several guests had walking difficulties which Leo did his best to accommodate. There were also several who had not dressed for a walking tour and were not happy. At the end of the tour Leo was dropped off again in Santo Domingo. Then we were heading back to the gas station point again. When we arrived they were dividing everyone up into other busses depending on your final destination. It was chaotic and again, no communication. We were added into an already full bus and I was told to sit in a jump seat. It was broken and leaning in a slope. The driver and helpers laughed at me and the situation. Told me to get in a different one if I wanted. The other one leaned back instead of sideways and was not stable. I am 60yrs old and have some physical issues. This was NOT a good thing. We were crammed in like sardines and I rode in pain until we dropped someone off and I could get a real seat. A language barrier was not an issue, I speak Spanish. Age was not an issue, we do what we can. Culture was not an issue, we have travelled and lived all over the world. It being a DR thing is not an issue, we’ve been here several times. What are the issues are lack of correct tour description in the listing, lack of communication as to the pick up/drop off procedure, lack of care for the guests comfort, and lack of respect and courteousness of some of the staff. The only way I even knew a little as to what was happening at the beginning was I reached out on WhatsApp to our original contact. This should have not been my responsibility. We are here a few more days and will probably book more tours and in return visits as well, but I will not book with this company again. The ONLY reason I gave this two stars instead of 1 was because of Leo. He was a good guide.

Don’t Book with this provider very unorganized

Bernard_D, Sep 2022

This was one of the worst experience we’ve have been on. First thing they don’t pick up at hotel drop off. They tell u to have your hotel drive u to the front gate. Didn’t find this out until we already paid. The next thing I had to call because they was over 30 minutes late for pick up even after I confirmed they would be there . The driver pulls up and takes us on a 15 minute ride to a gas station. Tell us to get out and wait over in this section to regroup. Then another drive came and told us to come with him, very confusing and weird. Then they pack us in this tiny van with zero comfort. After about 45min we start our drive to only pick up 4 more people with only 2 seats left so one had to sit on the steps crazy! Very unorganized and not something I’d ever book if I see this provider anywhere. The tour was ok we was rushed through the city and the driver drove very reckless we did have lunch at a nice looking restaurant, however the food was terrible. I’d recommend you bring u a snack and water for this trip. We left hotel at 8am-got back around 8:45pm so it’s along traveling trip. If u do one of these tours look for a small group tour of private this one adds on people until the bus is totally full and uncomfortable for all no breathing room and your shoulder to shoulder

Great experience, but a very long day

O passeio foi muito bom, com pessoas agradáveis. A visita aos "ojos" (cenotes) valeu a pena, muito bonito e merece todo o cuidado. A visita à fábrica de chocolate foi deliciosa... A da Catedral foi ótima, conhecer a história... Só faltou mais tempo para ver outros lugares e passear pelo centro histórico.
