Exactly what was advertised - Great tour. My guide Jean Carlos was very nice and helpful. Beautiful area to explore. He was on time and my tour ended up being a private 1-on-1 tour, which kudos to the tour company for not cancelling due to a lack of other attendees at that time slot.

Fabulous walking tour! - From the moment I arrived until the end of the tour, Jean Carlos made me feel welcome! He is very knowledgeable on all things Dominican and I learned a lot about the culture and history. I ended up having a private tour which added to enhancing my experience. I highly recommend booking a tour for a solo traveler or a group!

Zona Colonial tour - From the first welcome to final good bye, Jean Carlos was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgable about all things Dominican. I learned a lot about the culture and history. I was also surprised with having a private tour! Thank you for organizing a perfect morning!

Learning history in a fun way - What a fun way to learn about history, we booked the private tour to explore the old town at our own pace. We had amazing lattes, tried mama juana for the first time and it was good. I highly recommend this tour.

Santo Domingo Prívate Walking Tour is the Way! - Santo Domingo’s colonial zone has so much history and culture! Our tour guide Jean Carlos told us great stories, we had the best coffee (better than starbucks) we booked the prívate tour and it is worth the extra cost.

Must to do in Santo Domingo - Must to do in Santo Domingo... Super good. I am Dominican and I recommend it for those who want to know a little more about Santo Domingo. The explanation of the story was super complete and detailed. Jean Carlos is a true connoisseur, he behaved extremely well with the group and explained details to us that I didn't even know. The specialty coffee tasting was spectacular, this is something that I always take with me from Santo Domingo. They also give you a chance to try local drinks, like the Presidente beer and the Mamajuana drink (very strong for my taste) but you had to try it so they don't mention it hehehe. For this tour I recommend wearing comfortable clothing, preferably shorts and tennis shoes because the weather in Santo Domingo is hot. The environment is super safe, but I recommend going light and it's great.
