Nice historical Tour - This tour is a great way to explore Santo Domingo for the day. The lunch at the local restaurant during the tour had very great food and I enjoyed getting to walk through the streets of Santo Domingo and see historical sites.

The pick up was a little... - The pick up was a little weird. The driver would not come to our hotel because he didn’t want to go through the gate. Then we met up with our bus on the side of the road. However after this point the trip was amazing!

Everything was good - We had a small group of 11 people and our tour guide Nicholas was very good to accommodate our needs. He tried to show us more places other than those on the list. We paid more than the big group , but it’s worthy.

Santo Domingo Day - I was the only English speaker on the trip. It would have been nice to know that head of time, but they accommodated me being a monoglot. Beautiful scenery, great history, nice people.

We were supposed to be... - We were supposed to be picked up at our hotel instead the driver sent someone to pick us up and had them meet us on the side of the highway with no explanation. The tour was not what we paid for it was one of the lesser trips that was offered. The tour guide, Pedro, was very nice and made the outing very enjoyable.

Beware of the pickup scam - The tour is advertised as starting from Punta Cana. And your hotel will be in the list of pickup places. However, if you’re not in the right part of Punta Cana you will receive a text asking for more money for pickup. Obviously that happened onn on fe you’ve paid and the day before your tour, so you can’t cancel and have no choice but to pay or lose everything.
