“Prettiest part of DR - We really enjoyed our tour which turned out to be private. We were picked up on time at our hotel in an air-conditioned van. Carlos our guide was excellent. I was able to practice my rusty Spanish. He was kind and helpful. He added on a cave to our trip that was unexpected and beautiful. The views from the mountain were incredible and the food was great. He helped us take lots of fun shots and shared some from his phone via WhatsApp. The best part was the incredible beach he took us to. Playa Limon. He gave us a choice of beaches to see and we chose Limon because it is pristine and totally private. It felt like our own paradise. Prettiest beach we’ve ever seen. Carlos was patient, attentive and never made us feel rushed. We set the pace and he seemed willing to hang out with us as long as we wanted everywhere we went. He was a safe driver too. Can’t recommend this tour enough. Don’t hesitate!” - Reviewed on 2024-02-10
