A great experience! - The Santo Dominigo full day tour is a must. The scheduling process was simple. The communication regarding pickup was very detailed. The bus ride to Santo Dominigo was pleasant. Our tour guide, Will, was super. He was fun, patient, and provided thorough details for each stop of the tour. He communicated in several languages to provide an inclusive experience for all. The lunch was the best meal of our vacation! As stated, it's a full day. So prepare yourself. Dress comfortable and wear tennis shoes. We did a great deal of walking. I would highly recommend it as it was definitely a different scenery compared to the beach activities.

Good time - Had a good time with my party of 6. The guide is very informative. A love history and know a lot but I learned a few new things. The buffet much was authentic and great. It stormed for a bit during our trip however our guide was coordinating to get us umbrellas that way we could go eat however there was no need since the rain eventually stopped. Highly recommend if you’re coming from punta Cana which is a rural tourist town and want to see real Dominican Republic and its culture.

Great Tour, One suggestion! - Definitely recommend this tour to Santo Domingo if you want to see more of the island. Our guide, Miguelon, was fantastic. Be aware that you might switch buses; we almost ended up on the wrong tour, so be sure to confirm you're headed to the right place, especially if you don't speak Spanish...

Nightmare transportation-transfer tours - I have been using Viator for the last 10years and this is the 1st time that my tour transport and transfer to the attractions was an absolute nightmare, not professional, old transportation with no A/C and punctuality is not on the Dominican dictionary , in this review I give them 1 star because in no place for zero stars
