Dominican roots - beautiful tours about Dominican culture, a tour that leaves many teachings about the true Dominican roots.

It's not really a safari - This is what the tour promises: Discover mountains and rivers, visit sugar cane fields, coffee and cocoa plantations, taste tropical fruits just picked from the trees, taste coffee and chocolate enjoy a mamajuana drink. Visit a countryside home and see how the local people live. whats missing from that list 1. the 20 min horseback ride ... which if you ride horses isnt much of a ride at all 2. the Tobacco "plantation" ... which is literally just a guy at a table rolling cigars 3. the Market walk thru ... which is the scariest place on earth 4. The Basilica in Higuey ... which was just a 10min walk through 5. The beach at Macao You dont really see Rivers or Mountains and Sugar Cane fields up close. This is a really bare bones tour and because I was at a resort that I regret being at ... this day excursion was just right. Be warned though... the excursion people at the resorts start off charging $150 per person. The website is $55 so now I don't feel bad at all giving them $60 per person. The best part of the tour was my guide Johnathan Guilmo. Dude had to balance English, French, Portuguese and Spanish in an attempt to give the information needed. The stops were a bit too short but we still ended up outside most of the day. The best part (again because of the resort i was at ... Vik Hotel Arena Blanca) was lunch at Rancho Atabeyra. Good food. The "bartender" was just a guy giving out water, soda and beer ... simple. But in that heat when he showed up with a ice cold drink you were grateful. overall: buy it online.
