The tour was great. I was just hoping for more time at each location. The tour guy was very intentive a made sure that we stayed. With him, he was very protective of us, which was great. My husband was trying to veer off the tour route and go to a souvenirshop in our guide. Had to bring him back in and told him that he needed to stay with the group, the only issue that I had when I booked the tour I put in my hotel location and then I called just to confirm it was told that we needed to be picked up at a hotel, even though it was on the same resort, but you know if I hadn’t called. I’m not sure what the outcome would’ve been the overall it was a decent tour.
Edwin and Francisco were so wonderful! The tour was fantastic and there was tons to see! Beautiful country and people🇩🇴❤️

I had some nerves about traveling out of the country alone with my tween aged children for the first time. I took time to research and plan our trip, as we wanted a more authentic Domincan experience than just the traditional resort or port stops. Francisco could not have delivered a more amazing experience. From fair pricing and amazing communication, to sharing insights about the city's history, culture, economy, and traditions, we had an amazing adventure to a beautiful part of the world. Top notch service all the way around, and memories that will last a life time. Mi agradecimiento y mi gratitud son infinitos. Gracias.
