Anthony was awesome. He did it in English and in Spanish. Three Eyes was really cool. The Cathedral was amazing.
Great way to see the history of the city. Anthony was a great guide. You will be stopping at gift shops in between sites. Just be prepared to wait for the group and you will be fine. Bring water. Such a wonderful time.
There was a little confusion at the beginning as we couldn’t be picked up and had to take an Uber to meet the tour, but apart from that “Papa Anthony” was an excellent Bi Lingual Guide, very knowledgeable and polite. There is some incredible history steeped in Santo Domingo and I am much more informed now than what I was - however if I’m honest I feel the price of the tour was a little high for a big group tour and have paid less for a private tour.
Great tour guide Leo. I wish they do less shopping push !!I was impressed how much he knows about the history 👍👍
Great tour Great guide We really enjoy it Very nice tour although it was raining the guide manage to bring us umbrellas and he paid attention to all and each of the passengers
No organization, the tour guide did not give instructions and kept learning people behind without telling them. And they were an hour late picking us up from the hotel causing us missing the tour in Los Tres Ojos.
Amazing tour full of the culture and history of Saint Sunday visit beautiful and amazing places. I really loved all the attention.
They didn't come to pick us up. The guide (Anthony) called several times assuring that the driver was about to arrive, but never came. An hour later the manager of the Viator agency called to offer another excursion another day. They told us one lie after another. The hotel concierge is a witness. Even he was ashamed. We've been wasted a whole day waiting for a driver who never thought to come pick us up. This agency is the worst of the worst.
A good tour but the main tour guide’s English was too broken to understand. The tour included a good lunch.
