We had an amazing experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We truly enjoyed him and learned a lot. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area
This tour was an outstanding experience! Mike was a great host and took us around the neighborhood where we got to experience authentic food and culture. This was a once in a lifetime experience I will remember for a lifetime. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see the most authentic parts of Dominican culture.
The Santo Domingo neighborhood tour was an awesome experience. Maiky did an excellent job of giving our group a history of the various communities within the neighborhoods of Santo Domingo. He facilitated our interactions with several people in the market area and community. Maiky know the city and the people. Sweet potato ice cream was an unexpected treat. Seeing the city from the cable cars and riding a jam packed metro train was quite an experience. I would recommend the tour for anyone who wants an authentic experience of Santo Domingo.
Our tour guide was Mikey and he was super cool. We were actually 20 mins late and he was not upset at all! We still experienced the full tour even though we were late and we tasted a lot of different foods. IT was great. I would highly recommend !
Maiky was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He’s been running this tour for two years and takes you through several barrios and neighborhoods. It was so great to have the chance to visit a few homes and colmadas and meet locals that make Santo Domingo so vibrant. I would definitely recommend this tour to groups or solo travelers.
We had a great morning with Miaky. He met us right on time at the meetup spot and lead a great tour through the markets parks and playgrounds of Santo Domingo. Great way to see the city.
We had such an amazing time with Maiky! His knowledge of the neighborhoods, the metro, and the Teleferico was impressive, and his fun facts about local life really brought the city to life. He was energetic, engaging, and switched seamlessly between English and Spanish to accommodate everyone. Highly recommend!
It was a nice experience leading us to search the unknown side of the town, a neighborhood where people live a different not so easy life. The tour with the cable car gives the opportunity to see the favellas by the air, visit also the favellas provides a live touch with the local community. Thanks to our tour guide Mikey who explained details.
Very nice tour! Authentic! intimate and informative! Above and beyond every tour I’ve been on in DR!!
This was truly authentic and an experience I would do again and again! We enjoyed every bit of this tour with Mike and Juan!! There is quite of bit of walking so I’m glad I wore some comfortable shoes.
It was great! Maiky and his boss were Awesome. They new everything and everybody. The potato ice cream was fantastic and so was the lady that lived there. Her brother was funny and nice as well....Was supposed to go on the beach tour the next morning but didn't wake up in time. Definitely, definitely advise to take this tour for a Dominican experience. WONDERFUL!!!
This was an amazing experience to see and meet locals in the area. Joel is from the area and we interacted with locals some he knew and some he did not know.
If you care about walking in the real neighborhoods of DR, without being afraid, accidental offending the people who live here, take this tour. More than anything else, the conversation with Mike was the highlight of the tour for me
I had so much fun walk thru Santo Domingo. It was great seeing a different part of SD than others i’ve seen before. Joel and Juan were very kind and knowledgeable on the neighborhood. The tour was safe and I would recommend anyone visiting Santo Domingo to book. Thank you guys for everything!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure having you as part of the group, and I’m glad the experience resonated with you. Your enthusiasm and curiosity made the tour even more enjoyable! If you ever find yourself in the area again, I’d love to show you more. Safe travels!
Great experience it was interesting to experience something other than the regular tour. If you are looking to experience local culture this is a great tour
Absolutely great. Showed us plenty of history and i felt absolutely safe. Great way to see the city and see how people live in santo domingo.
One of the best immersion experiences ever on a vacation. For those looking for something other than the typical tourist attraction destinations this is a must. Juan is a historian with a wealth of knowledge of the surrounding area. Our tour felt like two buddies strolling through the hood interacting with the locals, who are all friendly and warm, including Florita who made us a delicious authentic Dominican breakfast. Juan gave me the history of the town he grew up in, the country, and Columbus. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much along the way. BTW, the mangos and zapotes I bought from the fruit stands were outstanding. Thanks, Juan!
