Great Cultural Experience - Mike and Sandy were very prompt when picking us up. They were friendly and professional. Mike is very knowledgeable on Dominican history and culture. We felt it was well worth doing this tour first before doing the adventure tours. I’d definitely recommend doing the cultural tour with this operator.
