“The cave of wonders was amazing. Villa Hermosa was so beautiful and peaceful. The Masipedro river view from the top of Villa Hermosa was also so beautiful. While returning back to the hotel, the guide passed by Christopher Columbus’ lighthouse, President Palace, Independent Park, and some other important places in the city of Santo Domingo. The guide was so nice and friendly. I enjoyed the private tour.” - Reviewed on 2025-01-29

Afternoon Relaxation and Exploration

“This full day trip was wonderful, exactly what we needed. There was a minimal delay in response after booking but the guide jumped on it as soon as he could and was very apologetic and accommodating. He followed up repeatedly to ensure I was taken care of. The cave was beautiful, and we were allowed to do our tour privately in between school groups. That was SO appreciated. We had lunch between both sites and the restaurant was really nice and the food was delicious!” - Reviewed on 2024-12-14
