Excellent Santo Domingo Day Trip - Had a long but memorable day trip to the bustling capital. The driver and especially the tour guide were excellent and very knowledgeable. The itinerary is packed and included a good buffet lunch and plenty of opportunity to buy local produce. Highly recommended if you want to experience some of the cultural delights of this diverse country.

DR - SANTO DOMINGO DEC 2023 - Pick up was 2 hours late without a call, text, or email. I had to track down customer service for a 650am pick - no one answered and wasn’t responded to for almost an hour - and picked up later - I could’ve had breakfast etc - the tour itself was good - Norberto was informative

Great tour - The tour guide, Norberto was absolutely fantastic. He was fun, hilarious and engaging. The tour itself was ok...I wish there were other places we could actually go in rather than just passing by...it felt like we went to more shops than places to check out but overall was pretty good!

Well worth it - Very good tour to some interesting places. only criticism would be that as we were first pick it took forever to get going as not everyone was on time or there were problems with the pick up location. Excellent Guide who explained things well
