Highly recommend DR cultural safari - The half day safari tour with kayg was a great experience. It was a private tour with judt my husbabd and i so it was really special. We went to Macao Beach, beautiful white sand, waves and horseback riding on the beach. Went to a cigar factory and watched cigars being made. Went to the old Dominican country side a d Carlos took us to a house to showe us how the dominan people live, grind coffee and cocao ( natural chocolate) i actalky brought some natural chocolate to taje home. Fi ally we went to the oldest church in DT DR. beautiful church with ca dle lighting ceremony, let stop was dominant lunch. They have a photographer during the trip to capture memories. Definitely worth it. I got the video and pictures. Very professional safe, highly recommended Regards Robin Houston TX

Extremely beautiful and varied - Highly recommended. I booked this trip with my girlfriend and was very pleasantly surprised. It is very varied. Horse riding is also highly recommended for beginners as it is very calm. You get a great insight into the lives of the local people. The cigar factory and the farm, where the family business grows delicious chocolate, coffee and much more, are particularly recommended. The tour guides are also very nice and you can get by quite well in English. The pleasant, family atmosphere in particular did me a lot of good on the whole trip. I would love to go again as there is something for everyone. The food was also very tasty and cooked by the family on the mini farm.

For some, but not for all - Our tour guide was awesome. He made it interesting even though his English was not very good. we helped translate to the other two people in the group. However, I could do without this experience. Maybe it’s for some people but not for us. I think out of everything the “cigar factory” was the best part because we were able to make our own cigars and take it with us free. It def is a cultural tour, you see the real DR and how people live.. it does give you a new perspective of the country.
