only for lovers of the history of colonization - Wow, it was incredible to walk through a colonial city that is more than 500 years old, and although some structures have been remodeled, there are others that have never been touched. It's beautiful to learn about history, and even more so when the guide is really well-prepared.

The right city tour for tourism lovers - I took the Santo Domingo City Tour from Punta Cana and it was an experience totally worth it. Although the trip was a bit long, the transportation was comfortable, and the guide made the trip feel easy by sharing interesting facts. When I arrived in the city, I was impressed by the blend of history, culture, and modern atmosphere. We walked through charming streets, visited iconic places, and always had time to take photos and enjoy the tour.

A brutal experience - Look, this private tour from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo is really brutal. Since we got on the guagua we were treated like family, all super comfortable and stress free. The chauffeur a horse, well professional and explained a lot of chever things along the way. When we arrived in the Colonial Zone it was something else, you feel walking through history. All organized, without hurry, and gave us time to take pictures, eat rich and enjoy quiet.
