Thank you Jhorji Tour AND Leonardo and Darwin - Over the years, I’ve taken advantage of others reviews, and not taken the time to write my own. I’m a changed man, after the great experience Darwin and Leonardo provided to me and twenty two of my family members. The tour was well thought out, with several stops, that weren’t taxing due to overstaying or other variables, it was EDUCATIONAL, as my family got an opportunity to try so many of the locally grown fruits and chocolate, and experience the process of making it, ourselves. Most importantly, Darwin and Leonardo were professional, and personable, accommodating - going out there way to find an item for my mother, with no expectations in return. My spouse was so pleased with our experience, she made reference to having her parents take the same tour with us the next time we vacation to DR.

Great day - Recommended activity for a total change of scenery in the heart of the Dominican Republic.
Our Judit guide was very pleasant, smiling and professional throughout the day.
We were able to discover the beautiful Dominican landscapes on horseback or by vehicle, local products, a Dominican house, a cigar factory and cocoa / coffee with tastings. A small local buffet by the river. Ideal for sharing a moment alone, as a couple or with several.

Great experience, totally recommend for anyone visiting Dominican Republic. - We did the tour on April 16 and it was very interesting. Our guide Judy was exceptionally nice and very social which added to a pleasant experience. 5 stars for her.
Judy told us a lot about the culture.
She treated the group with delicious fresh avocado bought on the market and introduced us to fresh coconut juice. It was a pleasure to chat with her.
We liked all the stops of the tour.
The presentations were very informative. And we really enjoyed the farm tour where Judy showed us around and gave presentations about cocoa and coffee .
The driver Tito was also great.
The guide in Higuey told us interesting historical facts which was nice to hear. The tour was enriching.
