Worth the Price for a Full Day Trip - You can’t replace a true cultural experience of Santo Domingo with lunch included in the middle of the tour within the heart of the town. While the drive to and from Punta Cana is quite a ways, the full day trip with our preteens was truly worthwhile. The price per adult/child was well worth the cultural experience from the beginning to the end. Our tour guide, Azula (sp?) along with the paired driver, were both kind and caring toward all.

Great value for the money - I really enjoyed the sites of Santo Domingo. The cave and church didn't disappoint. The guide spoke good English as well. I was not given any soft drinks so be sure to bring a yetti with you.

Good experience overall - Overall it was a good experience. David was our guide, he speaks pretty good English, understandable. The only thing was that the tour was too long and we had 3 stops at souvenirs stores which we considered absolutely unnecessary.

Waste of time and money - 6 of 10 people and driver could not speak English. Road all the way to Santo Domingo with him speaking Spanish. There were no cold drinks or water just loud music. This was time and money wasted that we can never get back. Trip consisted of driving by the president home and capitol asking us to take a picture in front of ths gates, stopping at Columbus burial to take picture in front., walk through of cathedral, lunch, and stop at several small shops trying to get us to but stuff. Bilingual guide joined us in santo Domingo
