Authentic Taste of Dominican Life - This was a wonderful day from start to finish . Prompt pickup by Darwin and we were then left in the capable hands of Darwin . You get to see the Authentic DR as you drive through local towns enroute to Higuey , after doing the horse riding . The Basilica is an Amazing Experience, followed by the leisurely stroll though a Traditional Market , which is eye opening . Traditional Lunch is very nice . After that you visit someone's home where you get to see the Chocolate making process from scratch . On to the Cigar factory which is very interesting and there is an opportunity to buy gifts . Finally El Macao Beach which is absolutely beautiful to look at but time is limited there . All in all , an Absolutely Wonderful Trip . I highly recommend it .

I had a GREAT time - This was a GREAT tour. From start to finish, I LOVED the time I spent with the Robinson family. They were friendly, personable and knowledgeable. I enjoyed EVERYTHING..horseback riding, visiting the beach and Basilica, lunch and the cigar factory. I honesty think this outing has been my favorite part of visiting Punta Cana. I'd like to thank them for an awesome day

Half day cultural tour - Our tour guide Franklin was great! Very personable & funny. Our driver was great as well, we got to all our destinations safely & was very friendly. Everything from horse back riding, rolling cigars, lunch & to the beach we visited was fun experience.

Don't stop doing it!! - If you want to leave the beach area and know a more realistic piece of the country, customs and way of life, this experience is perfect. Robinson and Sandy, they've made us feel like we're closer, more caring, more attentive. We have been on a ranch and taken a walk, visited the Basilica of Hlguey, its local market, eaten great in a traditional restaurant, we have also been in a traditional house in the mountain where we have been taught how to grow and work cocoa and coffee, then a tobacco factory where they have been wonderful and final brooch bathe in the beach of Macau wonderful everything, I recommend it!
