Best tour tailored to what you would like see - Outstanding! He met with our group briefly to identify what sights, art , history etc we would like to see then he tailored our city tour to our desires. It was a wonderful 4 hours, went by way too quickly, I learned so much about the past and present. Samuel has an immense knowledge about his country and loves to share it.

Old Santo Domingo - Samuel is one of the 3 top tour guides I have ever had. OUTSATANDING!!! He's not just a tour guide, He's also an expert on what you're seeing. He takes groups of up to 9 and does the tour based on what you are interested in. Can't use enough superlatives .
