A VERY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE - Today we take a guided tour with tickets included in the colonial area with Coprixa Travels. Domingo, our guide, came to pick us up at the hotel. From the first moment he made the ride a trip to the past. Every street has its history. Every corner a secret, which Domingo with his clear and simple explanations, made more interesting still. We toured many places and in each there was always some history to add. Thank you Coprixa Travels and thank you Domingo. Super recommended!!!

Wonderful, interesting short tour of the Colonial section of Santo Domingo! - I had a wonderful tour with Eugene who was very knowledgeable and who also spoke very good English (although at times I couldn't always understand all of what he said - partly his pronunciation, partly my hearing!). He was especially mindful and helpful when crossing the streets and traversing the uneven walkways, which I very much appreciated. This is a short historical tour but covering all of the major historical buildings in this fabulous Colonial City (UNESCO Herige site). Highly recommend.

Excellent Tour!! - Participating in this historic tour of the Colonial Area was an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, our expert and passionate guide immersed us in the rich history of this iconic place. The tour began at Parque Colón, where we learned about Christopher Columbus and his impact on American history. Then we visited the Primate Cathedral of America, an architectural gem that, with its impressive Gothic and Renaissance details, transported us to the 16th century. We walked along Calle de las Damas, the oldest street in the New World, where we were told fascinating anecdotes about the first settlers and saw historic places like Fortress Ozama and the National Pantheon. Every corner has a piece of history waiting to be discovered. The guide not only narrated historical data, but brought them to life with stories of characters who lived at that time, making us all feel part of that past. In addition, he recommended local shops and restaurants where we could taste Dominican delicacies at the end of the tour. The tour also included quiet moments, such as a stop at Plaza España to enjoy the view of the Alcázar de Colón as the sun began to set.
