our tour guide Alex was... - our tour guide Alex was super friendly, helpful, and informative. we will invite him to our housewarming when we win the lottery and buy a home in Altos de Chavon

A real wonder - Abraham was our guide and it was amazing. The place is truly wonderful, and Abraham made it even better.

Great day out at a great price! - Thoroughly enjoyable day! We were picked up directly from our Airbnb in Santa Domingo, visited Casa De Campo and saw the amazing views of the river, the beautiful church, the unbelievable amphitheatre and the fascinating museum with the history of the Taino people. From there we were taken for a wonderful lunch (included in the price), horse riding and a personal guided tour of the Cave of Wonders (as well as seeing more iguanas than I’ve ever seen before in my life!), before being dropped back off at our Airbnb. Alex was a great host, and there were a number of brilliant tour guides we saw on the day. Truly amazing experience, a great way to see so much of the La Romana area within one day, and truly excellent value for money! Thank you so much for a great day out!

We had an incredible time... - We had an incredible time on this tour from Santo Domingo to La Romana! Our guide, Alex, was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly made the experience even better. I went with a group of friends and my partner, and we all had a blast learning more about Dominican culture and history in a fun and engaging way. Highlights included riding horses, exploring the breathtaking Cave of Wonders (seriously, it lives up to the name!), enjoying a delicious lunch that was included, and visiting Altos de Chavón—a beautiful and unique spot with stunning views. Everything was well-organized and full of memorable moments. Overall, this was a fantastic day trip with a great guide, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Dominican Republic!

Worth seeing - This was a smaller cave, but it was beautiful. Guide was nice and highlighted cave drawings. It does get humid in caves. You are allowed to take non flash photos.

Very nice trip, nice places vidited, perfect guide with knowledges and experiences - During this man could visit two nice places, nice cave and resort and small city in ones, guide is experienced and has a lot of informations, I recommend this trip

Private tour is always good. - The cave of wonders was amazing. Villa Hermosa was so beautiful and peaceful. The Masipedro river view from the top of Villa Hermosa was also so beautiful. While returning back to the hotel guide passed by Christopher Columbus light house, President Palace, Independent Park and some other important places in the city of Santo Domingo was seen. The guide Mr. Robert was so nice person and friendly. I enjoyed the private tour.

Stalagmites in the cave and iguanas - Cave with stalagmites is interesting, also outside the cave there is an area with iguanas where can be seen

Nice cave, overpriced day - I feel I went on a different experience to others who wrote reviews, but the last one was almost a year ago and maybe it's changed (my driver/guide was Abraham, not Alex). Reality didn't match the "What to expect" tab. The cave was definitely worth seeing - very photographable - but I didn't see horses (probably because I said I didn't want to ride) or a labyrinth. Lunch was exceptionally poor, in an over-hot and very empty restaurant. Altos de Chavon is a tourist trap - there's no "indigenous village", it's a fake vaguely Italianate 'village' (if a village is mostly restaurants and no houses) built for tourists and weddings, with no locals in sight. The best thing was the archaeological museum, which my guide hurried past but fortunately I spotted behind a restaurant - exhibits are mainly on the Taíno and other peoples there before the Spanish invaded, which I found really interesting. The amber/larimar museum is small but worth seeing, and the view over the river is nice. I wasn't taken to a marina for "leisure time", so maybe you have to ask? Bottled water wasn't included, contrary to the inclusions list. The day felt very expensive for what it was, especially with the mark-up for solos.

Tour Cancelled and Refund is Pending Review - The tour was canceled last minute with a reason that it “oversold” and now my request for refund is pending review. This tour should not have been available since Altos de Chevon is now closed to the public. You can only visit if you’re staying at the hotel. The tour was supposed to be for today at 9am. I got the cancellation notice at 10:22pm last night. Then a reminder email came at 3:01am to say “Your adventure starts today”. It was a confusing experience. I tried using WhatsApp to get a refund. The wait for the first time was over 3 hours, and it was about 2 hours for my second attempt. The person helped me to submit a request to get refund, and it’s currently pending review. Here are my suggestions: 1. Take the tour off if the Altos de Chavon is no longer open to public (the staff there says they’ve been closed to public for 2 months). 2. Don’t email a reminder if the tour is canceled. It’s confusing. 3. Offer a refund right away if the tour is cancelled. Do the right thing and not make it hard for the customer to chase the refund when the tour operator cancelled. 4. Set a reasonable expectation for WhatsApp response time. It’s not reasonable to expect people to wait around for 2-3 hours to get a response. Thank you.
