It was a great trip that... - It was a great trip that allowed us to learn a lot about the history of the Dominican Republic in its capital city. Tres Ojos was a natural gem right inside the city.

A fantastic way to visit Santo Domingo! - As part of our first visit to DR, we wanted to ensure that we had experiences outside the resort in Punta Cana-da. This day trip to Santo Domingo with a stop in La Romana (extra fee to customize) was our favourite on the trip. Our guide Ramon Sanchez and driver Alex Daniel were fantastic! Both very knowledgeable of their country, its history and culture. Would highly recommend to enjoy a tour that makes you feel like friends are showing you around!

Santa Domingo Day Trip - Both Ramon and Alex were fantastic! Super friendly, accommodating and easy going. Made for a no stress, fantastic day trip. Doing the private tour was well worth it for our family. Thanks Ramon & Alex!

Excellent cultural walk to Santo Domingo - I made this private walk to Santo Domingo, very comfortable and, above all, very cultural. The driver was respectful and friendly, always willing to collaborate. Truthfully, I felt confident and safe with the excellent service.

Stunning walk through santo Domingo - It was a beautiful experience from start to finish. Santo Domingo has a special magic and the tour allows you to get to know it in a very close way. The Dominican lunch was spectacular, with an authentic and well homemade taste. The kind you enjoy without haste. I felt well attended, well received and eager to repeat.

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.

It was decent for the price. - Really nice safe on time driver but had to pay $50 for a tour guide. He was nice too but was not expecting the extra cost. I think we could have said no thanks but wanted to have someone point out interesting facts, his English was not good and did not understand our questions and would repeat where we’re seeing next. It was a little aggravating but he was no nice I feel bad saying it was disappointing. . The cave was beautiful & amazing ,the city was interesting but it was carnival season on a Sunday so a lot of streets were closed making it difficult to get around. The food at the restaurant was good.
