Traveler reviews
“It is a tour that takes us to visit the jewels of the city of Santo Domingo. Our guide was Miguel, a person who masters the subject and who was very charismatic, empathetic, and funny. It is very hot, so I recommend that you wear cool clothing and have good hydration. The duration of the tour seemed correct to me. It takes up most of the day, but it leaves you some free time in the late afternoon or evening to do something extra at the hotel. Personally, I felt a little uncomfortable with the minibus that transported us. The space is small and the air conditioning does not cool enough.”

“Hello, we had a really good experience with this Company. They picked us up on time at the airport and we did a separate tour with them and everything was perfect. Our driver Adriel was really nice. Communication was perfect, they'll answer you right away or they will try to communicate if they don't hear from you to make sure everything's going well. I would really recommend this Company and I would definitely use them again.”
