Amazing time! - Our driver from the hotel was prompt and kind. Somehow we ended up on the wrong bus so the company chose to make it right by sending a driver (gusto) and a tour guide (Robinson) to pick us up and low and behold we ended up on the tour with just the four of us. Alto de Chavon was truly incredible and breathtaking. Between the river and amphitheater. Next we stopped at a gift shop then the public market. We were guided through the market and never left alone. We felt very safe going into a “local spot”. We had lunch, which was so good, then went to a small farmhouse to see how coffee and chocolate is made. Throughout the journey Robinson, gusto, my husband, and I were cracking jokes and having a fantastic time. On the way back to the resort we shared some of our favorite American music and they played some of theirs. This truly was the real deal culture tour! Ask for Robinson and gusto, it’s no problemo y no mickey mouse!!!

Great experience - Amazing excursions with an amazing local guide, Téo.
He gave us some precious informations about the local life !
Unfortunately, due to weather, we were not able to go to the local beach as planned. During lunch, Téo informed us that the government closed the beach due to high waves.
However it as still an amazing experience !

Great excursion - Lucas was great. We visited the market, did a bit of shopping and visited numerous places. The one that captured this whole experience for us was Alto de Chavrõn where architecture meets and marries with the nature. It was absolutely a little jem

Had a wonderful time ! - My wife and I did the Cultural Day - Higuey experience tour with Theo San Juan. We visited Altos de Chavon, Basilica La Altagracia, the local market in Higuey, had lunch at a local restaurant and had a chance to visit a cigar factory. For those who didn't know, Dominican Republic cigars are better or as good as Cuban cigars.
Theo, not only a safe driver but also a very knowledgeable guide. He also helped us in our photoshoot experience which we appreciate very much.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, and very much recommended.

Custom Tour - Teo was great. We were expecting a small group tour, but when he showed up (exactly on time at our hotel), we found that it was just the three of us. This allowed us to customize the tour, which he was happy to do for us. This is a great way to get off the resort and see the authentic DR.

Great time with Teo! - This was a great little trip to a few out of the way places. Teo made it a great experience by being patient and matching my energy! Would recommend this trip to learn about the countryside and the real Dominican Republic.
