Fantastic experience - This was the highlight of our time in Santo Domingo- so informative and fun. I would highly highly recommend, our guide was probably one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had, he really brought Dominican ( and wider Caribbean) history to life

Must visit! Very authentic! - This was the coolest activity we did in Santo Domingo/ Zona colonial. There are various tours offered, but I guarantee this was the most authentic and realist! The tour guides paint a realistic and accepting picture of the city. Bicycling made the tour more engaging and enjoyable! At the end of the tour they gave us a map with great must visit locations! I recommend you do this trip on the first day of your visit of Santo Domingo! Loved the overall vibes! Definitely recommend!

Best way to explore the city! - Felt like the best way to explore the city! Jordano took us throw all the main attractions of the colonial zone, and a little bit out of it, adding some historical facts on top. Me, my wife, and our 3 years old - all enjoyed it. Bikes were in ok condition and colonial zone has so much to offer! After the tour we were well equipped to explore the city on our own.

Made Santo Domingo come alive! - I have grown to love city bike tours when we travel and this did not disappoint. We had a wonderful tour around Santo Domingo where we learned the good, the beautiful and the ugly. It was such a educational and enjoyable experience. It wasn't a difficult ride at all and our guide took very good care of us on the road and at all the stops. Thank you for making Santo Domingo come alive.
