5/5 - I really gained an in-depth understanding of the history of Santo Domingo and the Dominican Republic from our tour guide Nacho. The Walking Tour was everything I thought it’d be and more! From visiting art museums, to enjoying an authentic Dominican lunch and learning about the process of making chocolate, the Walking Tour was the ultimate educational experience.

Nice experience - A quick but leisurely tour of the iconic areas of old Santo Domingo. Bring comfortable shoes and warm clothing. You must enter the cathedral with your shoulders and knees covered, but they provide cloth to cover yourself if you comply with this requirement.

A DAY WELL SPENT!! - This walking tour was wonderful. Our tour guide - DARIUS was AMAZING. I believe we had an excellent sampling of a small part of the history of the Dominican Republic. Lunch was AWESOME!! The wet beans, yellow rice, chicken , grilled pork chops, and fried plantains definitely hit the spot. The restaurant staff were very attentive. Then to end the tour at the CHOCOLATE FACTORY....OH MY!!! The cocoa tea...chef's kiss.
