Great - One of the most captivating aspects of the trip is the opportunity to experience the warm and welcoming hospitality of its people. The locals are incredibly friendly and proud of their culture, and they are more than happy to share their traditions and stories with visitors. sampling traditional Dominican cuisine

A fun filled tour - My friends and I appreciated this excursion! There was sooo much included. It rained part of the day which sucked but obviously that was no one’s fault. Also, we were told this was a 4-5 hour thing and it ended up being much longer so we were a little exhausted when we returned to our resort. I thought I read snacks were included but they were not, we were able to purchase stuff at a little store before starting the tour. My only other issue was when we visited the church there was a service being held and we were told not to go in…but then people were still walking in and taking pics/videos. I thought that was disrespectful and a better job could have been done at keeping people outside. Overall, it was fun and worth the cost!!
