Excelente excursion , magistral el guia Sandro , nos dejo perplejos con su nivel de conocimiento en materia de historia y con su amabilidad para con todos , Todos los guias deberian aprender de El. Muchas gracias Sr. Sandro.

It was a good tour. I am glad that I took it but its not just a must do. It really was something that you could have walked around or driven around with a rental car and done yourself. But we were not in santo domingo we were in punta cana so we needed a tour guide or so we though.

The tour was great, in the sense that it took us to a lot of places, but it was fairly rushed at some spots. For example, we had a tour of the Amber museum that was approximately 10 minutes long. It was so rushed to see everything that was in there. I really liked going to places that had an audio tour guide so that I could take my time going through the museum. Such a great city to visit though - I definitely recommend it!

The tour guide and driver were both exceptional.

The biggest issue I had with the tour was the early morning Pick-Up and excessive waiting.
I was picked up at 7:15AM.

We then proceeded to pick up several additional passengers.
We then waited for more passengers at a gas station for 20-30 minutes.
This gas stations was 15-20 minutes away from my hotel.

If I had know this I would have just taken a taxi to the last pickup location to avoid the excessive wait time.

We finally got on the road between close to 9AM and were returned back to the hotel at 8:30 PM.

I would have preferred meeting at a single pickup location and avoid the excessive time involved with picking up and dropping off of passengers.

The guide was very informative and was tri-lingual speaking German, Spanish and English.
After returning back to Punta Cana they transferred some passengers into additional vans to expedite the drop-offs.
This was welcomed but unfortunately the guide moved into one of the other vans before I was able to tip him for a job well done.

Sandro, the guide and Samuel, the driver were great. Sandro has a lot of history, economy and political knowledge to share with you.And both very helpful and they really look after you.
The sights were beautiful, you are going to see history. The lunch was fine and they offer you a cheerful local dance to entertain you while you eat.
The only down side was the not very well organised arrangements for picking up from hotels, so it took more hours journey than it was supposed to be.

Very informative. It was a long day but well worth it.

The visit to the national park Los Tres Ojos was a very nice experience, but I wish we had more time to see the lakes. Overall, I recommend this trip.

It was interesting, but the guide was hard to understand as he switches between Spanish and English every sentence. Before I realized he was speaking English, he had gone back to speaking Spanish. It would be better if he tells the whole story in Spanish, and then the whole story in English, without switching back and forth constantly. Even better if they have an English only tour I would pay extra for that.

the tour was most interesting, the guide was very informative
however the bus that was provided was very small and the seats where more for the size of children than adults which was very uncomfortable since it took 2 hrs to get to santo domingo and a bit longer on the way back since there was more traffic

The tour was great once it started! However I was unable to reach the company the day before to find out my pickup time, so I wound up waiting 1.5 hours for them to arrive. I don't know if the local phone number I was provided was incorrect, or if something was wrong, but it was constantly busy. Otherwise, it was a great tour!
