Clean up the town for the residents and for tourists. - The driver and the tour guide were excellent. I have a problem with the long drive to higuey. There’s a highway, but instead we went the local streets. The city wants tourists? Then clean the streets. Garbage all over the streets. There was no coffee, tea, or water. The tour guide bought us some water. We had to pay a fee to go into the basilica.
