3 eye cave tour - He treated us with kindness because we were late to the meeting place and he never even mentioned it . Made he called us “family”and he treated us as family. He was so informative about all the history and culture. A++++

Zone colonial tour - The tour itself was great. Just 2 of us, and a funny, knowledgeable Andrecito (the guide). Lunch was at a nice place, although the food could’ve been hotter, it was fresh. We had a on time pickup at the hotel, but we did not get picked up after lunch. We had to take an uber. In all fairness, the tour operator refunded us for the uber to the hotel. All in all, a good tour with a couple of fixed hiccups. No regrets.

Don't do this tour, its money scam. - Me and my wife decided to do this package that is "Historical tour of Santo Domingo and 3 eyes caves with lunch", we booked our ticket on line on Saturday for Sunday tour. We got confirmation, and our tickets via email and text. Sunday, our tour is suppose to start at 11am, and no one showed up, so at 11:30amd I called the tour operator, who seemed unaware of my request but after some conversations, he did confirm my tour iternary and assured me that he will call me back. After waiting for 10 minutes, I get a call from some unknow person who said he was tour guide and needed my pick up address?????, I was surprised, because my pick up address was my hotel address and it was on my tickets!!!!!, than he mention , he was the driver, I felt uncomfortable and hanged up the phone. Couple minutes later tour operator called and ask for my pick up address!!!! he wanted me to text him, which i did and he also wanted me to text to person who called earlier and his name was Luis. I am totally shocked with this whole situation!!!!!! At 12:15pm Luis comes with a 4 door sedan (extremely polite person) and asked me where do I want to go!!!!! I told him, I have an ITERNARY of A TOUR THAT I HAD BOOKED and you don't know??....he called tour operator who explained him, so we went to 3 eyes cave and than he drove us to Colonial Plaza. Luis explained a lot of history and walked with us, later he said , that operator said it was 4pm so lunch is CANCELLED!!!!!!! What a JOKE!!!!! We walked around more and than dropped us back at hotel at 6pm. Only reason I am giving 2 stars is because of driver who was nice and honestly did his job, operator, should refund us on delaying and wasting my time, not providing according to what we paid for. You can do this tour yourself by Uber and Colonial Plaza has a good museum that can explain history about the whole area (opens 9am to 8pm) in all languages for 300 pesos/person and we paid US$99/person.
