Great 3/4 day in Higuey and vicinity - Guide was extraordinary from beginning to end. Pickup was prompt, conversations and history along the way were engaging, places chosen to stop and all details for every point of the excursion were perfect and flawless. Enjoyed the horse back riding, Cathedral tour, markets and shops, cacao, coconut and cigar experiences and wonderful lunch along the river.

Great historical overview of the Dominican Republic. - This tour exceeded our expectations. Robinson and Sandy packed in the activities but we never felt rushed. Hotel pick up was convenient. We felt safe at all the locations and we learned a lot about the culture and history of the Dominican Republic. It was a great value for what we paid.

Super local experience - The trip started at 7:30 we have visited Higuey main chatedral, local market, horse riding in a farm and coffe, cacao plantation. The tour also includes a tipical Domincan tasty lunch. Finally we visited Macao beach, but was to windy for swimming, so we drink a beer instead:-) Our guide was excellent, explain all you need to know. We do a lot of thing but did not fell that we are "running". Our 7 year old kid also enjoyed. Higly recomended this tour!
