A Must Do Tour - Was a fantastic tour and got to see a lot of the culture of the DR. Bothe the guide and driver were profoundly and gave us great information along the way. The open safari truck was wonderful for viewing and the lunch stop was delicious. Also felt great to get on a horse and later take a dip in the ocean. A must do tour.

Fun tour - It was a very fun and educational tour. Oscar and Carla were super with the guidance, good food and drinks. Only downside is that you had to pay at the church, I had no ransom with me I always pay with my card. Anamuya lake not seen, probably because it rained. I didn't like the market very much, dirty comments were made to my daughters. We didn't feel safe there. I would remove the market for future visitors from your offer. Furthermore, I am really very satisfied and we had a good driver and photographer / guide.

A glimpse of the Dominican Republic - George and Freddie were great! George’s English is very good and he does a great job connecting with people on the tour. We got to see so much in a short amount of time and it definitely gives you a glimpse of what the Dominican Republic looks like off the resorts. Highly recommend if you want a little bit of everything in about half of a day!

Great experience, not a safari truck - Definitely not a safari truck! We were picked up in a van and I thought it was bringing us to the safari truck until another rider said the driver confirmed we were in the van the whole time. So we started with a bad taste in our mouth. BUT that was able to change as our driver and guide were very friendly and helped negotiate prices when a member of the group wanted to purchase something. The stops on the tour are well worth it, especially the coffee and chocolate farm tour. Our guide at the farm was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The food at the farm was great as well. Overall a good experience but if you want a safari truck, this is not the tour.

Not what u pay for ! - It almost felt as false Advertising. We were NOT in an open safari vehicle. Which is why we chose this tour. We were in a closed van with tints. The purpose was to see & tour the city. Not happy at all

NOT WORTH A PENNY!!! - I do not like to give bad reviews. But in this case I have hoping no other people get a t terrible experience. This tour was a complete rip off and very expensive by the way. They advertise Buggy safari truck and I we travel in small van. Driver Carlos just knew three words in English and he is just a driver not a tour guide nothing of cultural information and he was speeding very dangerously during the entire trip, he did not care about people at all !!!. This excursions supposed to be 6 hrs. It’s a lie it took us only 5 hours. At basilica Church they made us pay an entry fare even though the call a donation, it is a must otherwise you can’t go inside. Beverages they promise it just water and litter bottles previously opened of flat soda. Lunch was very plain chicken rice and salad which regularly cost 240 Dominican pesos about $3.5 dollars with no drinks Every stop was way much less time than advertised. VERY DISSATISFIED !!!
