Byrundtur i Santo Domingo Afgang fra Punta Cana

We went to see those things they have history They never told us that Columbus's house had been under renovation for two years. And other historical places too. They took us to a museum where we watched a movie of no great relevance and there was nothing else. It was basically a shopping tour.

Except that the pickup took place at the scheduled time, the tour was defective. After picking up the guests from the various hotels, we stood at a gas station for at least 30 minutes before being redistributed to other minibuses. Upon arrival, a Spanish speaking guide was waiting for us, although some of us had booked English. His English was not good and what he told about the sights was more fantasy than history. The group totally split up and he wasn't able to hold the people together. This always resulted in long waiting times. Lunch was bad and unkind in a hotel. The return trip was only with the driver who did not speak English and failed to collect everyone at a toilet stop, so we waited again 45 minutes useless. Conclusion: the planned targets have been approached. Most of the time was spent in the bad restaurant and in a souvenir shop.

Looking for an activity that didn't involve spending day after day at the resort, we chose this one to do as a family. They pick up at the door of the hotel, but we had to make 2 previous minibus transfers before taking the final bus after a while of waiting at a meeting point gas station. The trip there early in the morning was pleasant between naps and snoozes and the desire, but it is about a two-hour trip, not counting the previous pick-up. They picked us up at 7:20, we were arriving around 11. The visit to the city, saving the 3 eyes, is a tour from souvenir shop to souvenir shop, the guide's explanations were very limited, positioning yourself in each place and reading Wikipedia is the same . We didn't go down to the Columbus monument, we saw it from the bus (according to the guide and driver it was a dangerous neighborhood to go down to take a photo, when there were tourists), from there we had lunch at a buffet with normal and not very varied options. My impression is that we did not stop at the Columbus monument so as not to crowd the restaurant, where we coincided with other groups. The Cathedral closed for the Corpus Christi festival. As we walked we saw some other interesting area that surely deserved some explanation, but they passed us by and the guide became urgent if you stopped to take a photo. Taking into account that we did not go to the Columbus monument or enter the cathedral, we could have taken more advantage of other areas or monuments and that did not happen. Rush, souvenir shops and to top it off another 3 hours or so of travel to Punta Cana (with the music blaring on the bus...although this and other things at least gave us a few laughs). In short, you spend the day on a bus, hoping for a more enriching experience visiting the city, which you do not find, it is not worth the effort or price, it is preferable to stay at the resort or look for another option.

We were picked up at 7:30 a.m. by a shuttle at the hotel and then dropped off at a gas station where we waited until 9:00 a.m. for another shuttle to fill up. After a 2.5 hour drive we arrived in Santo Domingo. Stop in front of the presidential palace which can be seen from the outside through the gates (zero). Then the guide took us to visit 3 souvenir shops and ended up in a restaurant with a buffet (food and lousy service). Then again a souvenir store 😞. In short, at 2:00 p.m. we begin the visits at a leisurely pace only with commentary by audio guides and at a leisurely pace without going all the way to the end. The Casa de Colomb, the pantheon can be seen from the outside and from afar (no interest). Anyway, at 4:30 p.m. the tour was over and we left for Punta Cana. Basically we left at 7:30 a.m. and returned at 7:30 p.m., in 12:00 we did 2 hours of sightseeing, 5 hours of driving and 5 hours of gift shop and restaurant.. Don't do this excursion, it's M----E!! !!

Tour bus pick us up exactly on time and the tour guide man was very professional bilingual and very polite everything was perfect!!

The caves and Santa Domingo was good, but everything was rushed apart from lunch which was very good with lots of choice for all tastes. From hotel pick up, which was prompt, transport was changed 3 times so it was 2 hours before we set off. The guide for caves and the town was really informative and one of the better ones from the 3 tours I took. Long drive back, 3 + hours, but no transport changes. Tour was good and tok you to the main highlights. Was back at the hotel 12 hours later and very tired, but glad I went.
