A Tour to Remember!!! - If you are thinking about doing this tour, think no more, and JUST BOOK IT!! This experience was lovely from start to finish. Tao picked my mom and I up from our hotel and greeted us so warmly, that we knew we were in for an amazing time. Every single stop on this tour was phenomenal! From horseback riding to the Basilica, the local market to lunch, the traditional Dominican home tour and fresh chocolate tasting, to cigar making and Macao Beach. We had the most fantastic day! Tao, our tour guide, was personable, professional and charismatic. His spirit shines as a bright as the Dominican sunrise. Every single person we met on the tour was kind and a joy to talk to. My seventy-five year old mother had the time of her life doing all of the activities. So yes, this tour is perfect for all ages! We got back to the hotel and slept until dinner time. I learned so much about "real" Dominican life and those that make the island beautiful. I will be recommending this cultural tour, and Tao's expertise,to any and everyone I know that's traveling to Punta Cana!

Dao was an excellent and... - Dao was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide and company operator. He took us to places within the community that otherwise as tourists would have never experience. And it was an humbling and thankful experience to see how the the Dominican ppl leave and thrive. I recommend this tour to anyone that wants to experience other ppl culture and way of life.

Cultural shock but educational - The tour operator was very kind. He took us to the local market which was for the very very poor people go. I was very sad how bad the conditions were there. I could've done without that part but the rest was educational in Higuay. You get to do the Cigar rolling on your own. The tasting & lunch was good.
