Good enough - I booked trip to Saona Island and Chevon but it was canceled one day before. We switched to Santo Domingo trip. It was great in general. The driver and tour guide were so nice and friendly. The only thing I really don’t like that they picked us up at 7ish by another transfer shuttle, then delayed/ arrangements until leaving at 10ish. It was so wasted time. After all, we came back at resort at 6:30pm, it was supposed to be earlier.

Took money, never turned up. - The company took our money, then sent a message saying the trip was no longer going ahead on the morning of the trip (after I reached out to them because there was no confirmed pickup time). I asked for a refund and they went silent - no response. I am from London. I would not trust this company. It really spoilt our experience of this country, such dishonesty and not the norm for this country. They took $140 USD.

Scam - We paid for a trip that never took place, we waited for hours for the ghost transport that never came , even when they requested information just simply never acknowledged it. I definitely do not recommend using this site for any activity whatsoever.
