Vacation in the DR April 2024 - Our Tour Guides (Roberto y Chino) were AMAZING! They showed us areas of the DR normally not seen by other tourists. Our Tours provided places that we visited that were very individualized and detailed. We were able to see many different parts of the Dominican Republic and got a full understanding of what was in the area. Both were super nice and were always on time, suggest different places for us to visit, and ensured we had an amazing time. I will definitely be giving them a call upon my return for another vacation in Dominican Republic. Thank you so much gentleman!!!
