This was the perfect... - This was the perfect cultural tour. A bit of everday life for real locals in the city, the country, small town and farm life. Our guide was patient and informative. Our driver was quite skilled for city traffic, mountain navigation and impossible parking made possible with him behind the wheel. I don't care for shopping but today I did. If you want a coffee mug or coffee from the place that grows it, take the tour. Taste chocolate from the tree our guide chose to process in front of you. Make a cigar for yourself or a friend. Ride a horse, swim near the brave surfers waiting for the perfect set. Bring tip money for the locals who let you into their home. And the street market! It was right out of a movie. I bought spices, so many inexpensive spices.

Our tour guide was Teo,... - Our tour guide was Teo, the excursion was fantastic. If you want to see a lot in a fairly short time, this is the excursion to book. Teo knew alll things Dominican. He was great. We had a little trouble getting on the correct transfer and were told our tour was cancelled for some reason, but it got worked out.

Fun time - This was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide Teo was a blast and made sure our family had a phenomenal experience. Learning about the countries history was very educational. I definitely recommend this excursion as you see beautiful parts of the country. Seeing the Basilica was jaw dropping, Being able to try chocolate in every form was very cool, eating a typical Dominican lunch was delicious, the market area was great to see how they handle a lot of there meats and produce and the kiddos loved the horseback riding. Macao beach was a beautiful location to end to trip. I cannot speak highly enough of the good times we had on this trip.

Beware tourists!!! - Tour bus never came, then lied about it and refused me a refund. American tourist beware! I would have given no stars but this system won’t allow it.
