“Perfect way to visit Altos de Chavon - Nelson was a very friendly guide and driver. He picked us up at our resort on time and chatted with us on the 1.5-hour journey to Altos de Chavon. It was a private tour for just my husband and myself. We arrived very early, 9:30 AM. This was perfect because no other tour groups were there yet. We had the entire village to ourselves.” - Reviewed on 2024-03-07
