D R History & Culture - A must see and do. In addition to the history of D R, the walking tour was great exercise and extra stops were bonus, chocolate factory and store offered free tea and coffee tasting. Lunch was delicious and filling. Leo our guide spoke both Spanish and English. Highly recommend *****

Great Experience - It’s a long two hours and a half ride from Punta Cana to the capital. We saw some amazing sights and great food. Also stopped at several shopping spots. Our guide was Leo, he was great. It started to rain and he gave everyone umbrellas. He was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Great Tour - definitely recommend - We enjoyed the tour itself. Willie was a great tour guide. He made sure we were comfortable and that we understood what was going on throughout the tour. He spoke spanish and english so it was helpful. The drive was great and I did appreciate that he drove fast and passed slow drivers. He was a very skilled driver.
The lunch buffet was good. We really liked the three eyes lagoons.
Everything other people said about the long ride and logistics of getting there is very accurate. Just know that it’s a long day and just be ready for that.
We left our hotel around 7:15 am and didn’t get back until about 6:45 pm. Long day.

Longer day than expected, interesting though - Various tours apparently funnel together to fill a bus, and the logistics caused the tour to be about three hours longer than expected. The English-speaking guides were almost adequate, leaving us in the dark (and almost costing us a ride back to our resort at the end!) some of the time about what was going on. It was an okay way to go from Punta Cana to Santa Domingo so we could see the sites there. We saw all the sites indicated in the itinerary. Lunch was just okay. It was too many people to do much more than participate in the herding. Still, we did see the sites and did make it there and back safely. I would recommend it with some reservation....

Average experience - The transport was uncomfortable, there were no seat belts in the vehicle, it took a long time to leave, and lunch left something to be desired. The driver drove well, the guide Léo explained well, but a lot of time wasted in the craft store.

Worst experience ever! - It a super bad experience for the trip.
We booked the trip on Trip advisor on Sunday Nov/26/2023 , as we think Trip advisor is a big platform and can provide us with amazing experience.however the whole trip was all in opposite way. We got the trip confirmation by email on Sunday and says the trip is for next Tuesday.
The trip company name: Jhoraji , Tel# 1-849-206-6405. They supposed to picked us on Tuesday Nov/28/2023 at7:30 am, We waited for half an hour and then we asked our hotel front desk to help us call the contacts. And the tour operator says that they didn’t see our reservations, later on they checked their system and then they find it out our reservation and promised to picked us tomorrow for the trip.
The next day for the trip, they picked us hotel at 7:30am with a mini-van. The air conditioner is too bad and it is super hot for the whole trip. It stopped at a gas station and some clients changed their car but we didn’t. IT IS only a small minivan !!! It is full car with 12 people, cloudy and massy. The whole trip to Santo Domingo was like staying in Sauna house, worst experience ever . The car driver fixed the air condition in 3 eyes park,then air condition is working.
The trip is super boring and the most beautiful place is 3 eyes park,it looks pretty . Also the tour guide leading us to 3 shopping place: Art shops/ chocolate shop/ jewellery shops…
