Perfect! Make it what you want! - Guides Annie and Henry were excellent. They took our group of 7 in a comfy A/C van with no other pickups. We went to all the places except the beach because we already had a beachfront resort stay. They were flexible and paid attention to our level of energy and age groups. Truly a perfect half day trip with great photos by Annie. We tipped $30 USD at the end.

We had Will as a tour... - We had Will as a tour guide and Christian as a driver. We had such a wonderful experience on this private tour. We learned so much about the Dominican Culture. This tour is nice because you are on your own time. You can stay as long or as little as you like as each stop. Will is very friendly and knowledgeable. I am so glad we found this tour and would highly recommend it.

Awesome! - Absolutely terrific! Would highly recommend this excursion. But, this survey having a 100 character minimum is really annoying.

Overall the tour was... - Overall the tour was great. The guide was very informative and explained a lot to us about how the coffee and cocoa was made in a local village. Then we went to the Basilica which was beautiful and very quiet. Next we went to a tobacco factory to see how cigars were made by hand which was very interesting to see. Our final stop was for souvenirs. We were also under the impression that we were supposed to visit Macao beach but the guide had no clue about this and when he contacted the tour operator they explained that the area was closed due to construction so we were unable to go. It would have been good to have been made aware of this when we first booked the tour and then to be either offered a refund or given the opportunity to visit another beach but that didn’t happen.
