Traveler reviews
“Tour bus pick us up exactly on time and the tour guide man was very professional bilingual and very polite everything was perfect!!”
“The caves and Santa Domingo was good, but everything was rushed apart from lunch which was very good with lots of choice for all tastes. From hotel pick up, which was prompt, transport was changed 3 times so it was 2 hours before we set off. The guide for caves and the town was really informative and one of the better ones from the 3 tours I took. Long drive back, 3 + hours, but no transport changes. Tour was good and tok you to the main highlights. Was back at the hotel 12 hours later and very tired, but glad I went.”
“Overall an average tour compared with other city tours I have been on. Firstly despite my accommodation being listed as a location that I could be picked up from, the evening prior to the tour I was informed that they would not pick up from my location (Macao beach) as it was too far out. So I was forced to order an Uber to the closest pickup point that they would pick me up from (Hard Rock hotel) - so additional cost and inconvenience. Do not list pick up locations if you don’t service them! Have to credit the driver on the way back though as he took me back to my hotel as he was a bit worried about my safety dropping me outside the Hard Rock at night. Legend. As other reviewers said, once in the minivan you are taken to a service station where (after a while) you are transferred to a larger vehicle to travel to Santo Domingo. I had no issues with this but two poor guys got on the wrong bus and so ended up in Santo Domingo with us (they were supposed to be going to Soana Island for the day)!!! The communication from the guys at the service station could have been clearer in terms of which bus you needed to get onto for onward travel - I can see how this error happened! Tour itself wasn’t too bad overall. Saw the main sights in SD and the lunch was pretty decent. Far too much time however was spent with the group being taken into souvenir shops. Would much rather we had extra time to take pictures/spend more time at key sites. All the tour groups seem to be taken to the same stores so I can only assume that the operators have struck some kind of deal with these stores. Guide tried his best to communicate in English for myself and a couple of Germans on the tour but he was a little hard to understand. Average overall - but I suspect a lot of the tours in general in the DR are a little disorganized/try and get you to spend as much $ as possible. So wouldn’t advise not to book - but go into it with your eyes open!”
“Made us wait for about an hour at meeting point at gas station without seating facility. Wasted about hour and half, twice for shipping. This time could have been used for site seen viz. monument. Charged $79 for the same trip my fellow tourists paid $55. They picked up at 7.30am and dropped us back at 7pm. 11.30 hours as against advertised 8.30 hours on TripAdvisor website.”
“The excursion was good. Easy pick up from resort. They take you to a centralized drop off which it's a convenience store/gas station. After many of us are gather, we got on a bigger shuttle and make the 2hr journey with a restroom stop after an hour. In SD, you go site seeing, then walk for about 2.5 hrs while site seeing plus lunch at a restaurant. It ends in a national park called 3 Ojos with a mesmerizing underwater cave. Then drive back to resort for 2.5hrs drive. Lots of history. Good trip.”
