Traveler reviews
“They didn’t fulfill all the visits they mention in their post and we spent more time on transportation than on attractions. Lousy.”
“We had an amazing experience on this trip. The tour combines fun, culture, and history of Santo Domingo. They picked us up at our hotel, and the guides were very professional. I highly recommend this trip to other travelers!! ”
“I messaged the tour operator asking if the tour was in English. I was assured the tour had an English translator. I was informed that the tour does not pick up in Punta Cana, but if I paid the bus driver $20 he would pick me up at my Punta Cana hotel. I paid the driver $20 when he picked me up. I was taken to another bus and when we were en route to Santo Domingo the tour guide called new driver asking if I paid him the $20. The driver and tour guide (on phone) only spoke Spanish. It was fortunate that a couple of other patrons on the tour spoke English as they had to translate that I already paid the driver who picked me up at the hotel. I then paid the current driver another $20 as I wanted to make sure I would get home at the end of the day. We picked up a tour guide in Santo Domingo. Basically, the whole tour was in Spanish although the guide did translate a few times. All the patrons on the tour were very nice and often translated for me. Be forewarned that we stopped at 3 shopping spots plus a short stop at the caves. My understanding is that the DM government requires the tours to stop at a local shop but stopping at 3 different stores seemed excessive. I took 2 other tours during my stay and we only stopped at one shop. I was glad I could see Santo Domingo and meet the other nice patrons, but I had really expected more of the tour.”
“To Munch time spent, like 3 hours of the tour outside thise horrible gift shops, that could have been used to se Santa Domingo.”
“It was amazing trip, excursion guide was very helpful, I recommend for everyone who want know more about the history of this country”
