Traveler reviews
“I am very disappointed with the tour because the tour description said that they take you to the Senotes and they tell us that was not included when I show them the description of the package they claim that was an error of the person that wrote it, the tour in general is bad very uncomfortable van.”
“Get comfortable and get ready for the full Dominican cultural experience! You’ll spend the whole day going from place to place getting what really happens on the daily in the DR. Our guide, Danello, was great. He let us taste different fruits that were grown there and told us what they were good for. We went from the church to the neighborhood learning a lot. While explaining everything to us, he also kept us entertained.”
“My trip was canceled. I was so excited to take the city tour but then I got an email in the middle of the night saying “my trip is cancelled”!”
“Fun day filled with plenty of activities. Theo took care of us and had a lot of patience with our beautiful diverse group- from Puerto Rico/NY, Ecuador/New Jersey, Barcelona, Spain and Texas/Mexico. We are the “Theo Family” !”
