Great Personalized Tour of Santo Domingo - As this was going to be a long drive (2.5 hours to Santo Domingo), we decided to spend extra for the private tour to give us flexibility and more time seeing the places. Plus, we requested to be picked up We were not disappointed. The driver was on time. Willy, our tour guide, was amazing. He provided interesting facts about the country and city along the way and helped us with any requests we had like getting cash out. We stopped for some snacks on the way to SD and then visited the main spots and museums. Lunch was decent at a nice restaurant in the city. Willy decided to take us to the caves on the way back rather than on the way in the morning to avoid the crowds. It was a great decision. The caves were a must see. Overall, highly recommend the tour and the personalized experience, especially not having to wait to pick up others from their hotels.

Seriously just a good time! - Darius is a quick-witted and hilarious tour guide who helped us through the city. They were fast, efficient and didn't allow any wasted time, however they gave us time to relax and get food too.

An amazing Tour - This was the best tour of our entire trip while staying in the Dominican Republic. We were picked up on time at 7:30 a.m. at the security gate.Our tour guide Nikko was very friendly, knowledgeable, engaging and had a great personality. Our driver Maximilo was also polite, friendly and a great driver especially during our tour downtown as traffic was very chaotic. This was a very enjoyable tour in our family enjoyed every single moment of it. Nikko was a champion and he provided a spectacular tour of the capital, it's history, it's culture and it's people. This was an all-day tour so you have to be ready and prepared. It's about 2 hours to the Capitol from Punta Cana and sometimes longer coming back. You can bring pesos, dollars or credit cards as you'll be able to shop at a store that accept all three. The dollar is preferred among merchants in and around the Dominican Republic. Maximilo was a great driver, friendly and got us safely back to the resort. Overall, I suggest that you booked this particular tour provider as you'll have an amazing day.

Great Tour - This tour was very affordable and worth it. We received detailed information on the local culture and the tour guides were very friendly. Papá José and Miguel were very cheerful and helpful.

Santo Domingo Tour - Henry is best tour guide company ever I can suggest for anyone. Most reliable, trustworthy and very honest company. My husband forgot his cell phone in the shuttle but Henry came back in personal car, took us to shuttle and we were able to find our phone back successfully. He explains everything so well and he knows the history of this place. He makes everyone feel most welcomed and just like family member. I would like to book him again in future whoever I visit puntacana. THANK YOU HENRY SO MUCH for everything and your Generosity!

Did not match expectations - Group was too big, too many stops to pick up and drop people, guide was chaotic and often forgot to translate. Not really convinced about the quality of this tour.

Mosquitoes and just, no. - Long drive from Punta Cana resort to Santo Domingo. About 3 hours each way. The driver was great. Fantastic even as it was quiet and he didn’t bother us at all. What did bother us was the mosquitoes we were trapped in the van with. In an island country where mosquito-borne disease is common and sometimes lethal, being stuck in a van for 6 hours with around 30-40 of them was a real nightmare. You’d like to rest on long drives if possible but not on this drive. I had to stay alert and vigilant in swatting mosquitoes the entire time. Yes the driver opened the windows to get as much out but didn’t help at all. Terrible experience. Then the tour guide we met in the city. Dude was nice but you can tell he was in a rush. I like fast tours but this guy rushed us through every landmark. He also took the worst pictures ever with the camera diagonal and cutting off every monument. He also made us choose options, one or the other and of course the dang gift shops we had to stop at instead of monuments. But I hear that’s a normal thing here. This was not a good experience but still made the best of it. I would not recommend though. Should’ve just went with the hotel tour option by bus for a fraction of the cost.
