The guide was very informative and accommodating to us. He took his time and went in depth about the history of the cave and the light house. We didn’t feel rushed when visiting the places and they were truly worth the tour.
We visited the Tres Ojos Park and the Columbus Lighthouse while we were in Santo Domingo. Leopoldo was a great guide he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He really want us to enjoy or time too. We really enjoyed the tour!
Leopoldo was a very great guide.
We had the best time with Pabel! He was so knowledgeable, showed up on time and was very friendly! He didn’t rush through the activity and we could tell he really likes to share with the travellers. Do not hesitate to book this tour with him.
This felt like a private tour as my party of four were the only participants. Leopoldo, our guide, was very knowledgeable of the history of both the cenotes (Los tres ojos) as well as the Columbus Lighthouse. He did all the explaining in English for the convenience of my son in law that speaks only English. The transportation was a little awkward, almost felt like they use Uber for transportation, but we really didn't mind and overall enjoyed the tour very much.
Very nice experience. They were great despite our delay. The site is wonderful! Very informative.
My cousin and I had an absolutely wonderful tour with Leopoldo during our visit to the DR. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and significance of each site that we visited and walked us through the experience, explaining everything in a clear and engaging way. He is very friendly and affable and even reached out ahead of time to ensure there were no difficulties with the meet up and expectation for the day, which helped make the tour feel relaxed and enjoyable. I would absolutely love to have Leopoldo as a tour guide again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an informative and memorable experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience thanks to an outstanding guide We had an amazing experience on this excursion, and a big part of it was thanks to leopoldo. He was very professional, punctual, and clearly passionate about his work. His explanations were clear, interesting, and well adapted to us, which made the tour even more enjoyable and informative. Léo really took the time to make sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, while also sharing local stories and insights that added real value to the experience. The organization was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend this excursion, and especially this guide, to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized experience. A great memory!
We visited Santo Domingo a few days before Christmas and we were accompanied by our guide Leo. He was a casual and friendly guide with quite a deep knowledge of the history of his country, the Tres Ojos, and the Faro del Colón. We visited the Tres Ojos which was a pretty interesting and venue and great to add to your natural experience aside from the cultural and historical experience in Santo Domingo. However, there are a couple of points that I observed that if improved, it would even give a better experience for people taking this excursion: 1. it may not be peak season so it was only me and my friend who were in the tour. This would have been a much more personal experience if the tour was done slower. While we still enjoyed our trip, going from 1 cave to another felt too quick (almost only 2 minutes to visit 1 cave but we were hurried to walk and climb the stairs between caves, which were also much more humid than the rest of the city). If it was a slower-paced tour, we could have taken better photos of the place and would have absorbed the whole experience more thoroughly. 2. The Faro was quite massive and impressive but there was an event during our visit which hindered us from entering or taking a more immersive look of the monument. We also stayed quite a while with our guide in the open field which could have been better if we stayed under the shade. Our guide was in some instances a bit easily distracted with acquaintances or crowds passing by that when he shared some historical information, he suddenly lost his thoughts or start anew.
Great, we didn't expect so pretty and so close to town. I recommend it to everyone, it's worth it
