!!! Bella Basilica !!! - Imposing in sight. When entering the orange bricks give the bottom of the Basilica a very special color compared to the sun falls. The cement structure seen in front of the colored wall appears to form a letter A in the background. I am struck by no images of other SAINTS.

Excellent experience - The Higuey Cultural Tour from Punta Cana was very educational. The guide Antonio was knowledgable, kind, and provided a wonderful experience. Elvis our driver was very safe. The tour was as advertised. We highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about the culture of the Dominican Republic. It was a highlight of our vacation.

Excellent Tour! - Learned so much culture and history. Antonio, the tour guide was so personable and answered all questions we had. We had an air conditioned van. Provided cold water and soda. I would recommend this to anyone!

Simply Incredible! - Booked this when we were staying at the Excellence in Punta Cana. Our driver was Victor & our tour guide was Antonio. Both were amazing!! I can't say enough wonderful things about our "cultural" tour. We have even looked at coming back in the future to bring our children to Punta Cana. Everything about this excursion was AWESOME!! Thank you so much!

Higuey Tour - by RSH - This was a wonderful tour for adults. Had fabulous tour guide, Antonio. We toured a plantation - very interesting. He told us about every little town we went threw. Leared a lot This is a excellent tour for adults. We had an outstanding tour guide, Antonio. The plantation part of The tour was great. He told us about every town and the people who lived there. His knowledge of Punta Cana part of the Dominican Republic was outstanding. We also had a guide at the Very large and unusual Church in Higuey. He was very good. Our bus was outstanding and the driver was great. Well worth the money.

Fantastic day trip to Higuey - This trip was incredible, and it was short only lasting 5 hours from start to finish, so we didn't feel like we lost a whole day of sun. The trip starts with a visit to a museum where you learn about the impressive church then you tour two churches. I went to school and studied religion so I loved this part. Next you go to a local market where you really get to see what it's like to live in Higuey. The last stop is a cigar factory where you can buy hand rolled cigars and see how they're made. Just a great day, our guides were Manuel and Juan and they were fantasic, always had answers to questions and were so nice. Our tour was run in 3 languages and it didn't seem like anyone felt left out. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see Higuey

Very nice - The first half of the tour is not that interesting if your not that interested in religion since we visite a pope/religious museum, but the rest is great! Walked in a cathedrale and an old church, we get to walk in the town and market of hiey and have the dominican view on life, and also visited a cigar factory!!

A good way to get off resort, time in the town was too short. - I took this tour while in Punta Cana for a wedding. To start off, they were 20 minutes late picking me up due to “picking up other passengers” - I was the first person on the bus... The guide was very knowledgeable about the churches and the farm we visited. The farm had lots of gorgeous plants and it was great learning about the different food they grow, and the process to make coconut oil. It appears to have been someone’s actual current home though, which seemed exploitative. The actual time spent walking through the city of Higuey and through the market was very rushed - no time to browse, stop to take photos, etc. We were taken to a typical Dominican lunch spot that the tour guide liked - it was clear that he was friends with the people there, so I am guessing it’s a business deal - and the food was terrible and cold, but cheap ($2). During this time the tour guide took off on the back of a motorcycle and left us alone at the restaurant waiting to leave! He came back later without apology or explanation. The bus driver also disappeared around lunch time, without letting us know we would be without transportation. Overall I appreciated getting off the resort, but I would have liked some time to really explore the town, walk around, take photos. The tours of the churches were well done, although we were passed off and told to tip another guide at the cathedral (who didn’t speak English or provide info during our visit). I don’t think the tour is executed well, but it was cheap, and still allowed a brief look into life in the Dominicans Republic.

visit - during an excursion we were led to visit this place initially we were forbidden to enter then when they saw that we were a group they left us passing just to see a painting of the virgin in gold

Cancellation due to "lack of quorum" - Booked through Viator and was supposed to go on this tour May 16th.....get a cancellation email at 6:30 the night before saying the tour has been cancelled due to a lack of quorum. Left a very bad taste in our mouth since we were only there for 5 days and this late notice left us scrambling to find something to fill the vacancy....what was really irritating is that we called at 9am the morning of the 15th to confirm our pickup and were given a 7:30am pickup time with no warning about a possible cancellation...very unprofessional in my opinion
