Resplan
Det hela börjar med hämtning på hotellet för att bege oss till vårt första stopp.
Vårt första stopp blir kaffe- och kakaoplantagen där du kan se processen för att göra dessa produkter och samtidigt kan du smaka på det. Nära plantagen kommer vi att besöka en familj där vi kan se hur lokalbefolkningen lever på den dominikanska landsbygden.
På ett panorama sätt tar vi en rundtur i stadsdelen La Ceiba, en stadsdel med arbetande människor i området.
En autentisk dominikansk fabrik, där du kan prova cigarrtillverkning i originalmiljön med originalverktygen. Du kan köpa Dominikanska cigarrer och, naturligtvis, det finns ett brett utbud av cigarrer, från billiga till premiumkvalitet.
Fortsätter vi vår panoramaturné kommer vi att observera området La Otro Banda, ett av de mest trafikerade kvarteren i området eftersom det är mycket nära staden.
Efter vårt panoramaäventyr kommer vi att visa dig den lokala Higūey-marknaden dit lokalbefolkningen går för att köpa grundläggande förnödenheter.
Sedan, i en panoramavy, kommer vi att observera den vackra och storslagna San Dionisio-kyrkan, detta monument började byggas år 1569 och stod färdigt år 1572.
Sedan kommer vi fram till den plats som dominikanerna besökt mest, Nuestra Señora De La Altagracia-katedralen. Bygget påbörjades 1954 och tog 17 år att slutföra. Där kan vi njuta av den magnifika konstruktionen, dess vackra interiörer och varför inte, kunna be i några minuter.
Sedan återvänder vi till Bávaro-området, längs vägen kommer vi att se de största sockerrörsplantagen.
Vårt sista stopp kommer att vara vid en present, målning, smyckesbutik, etc.
Äntligen kommer vi tillbaka till lobbyn på ditt hotell, Airbnb eller hem.

This was an amazing private tour. You can customize it to fit your needs. Junior gave my me and my husband just what we were looking for.
This was a last minute booking that ended up being well worth it. My husband and I wanted our 3 kids (15, 12, 8) to experience parts of the island beyond our resort. Wellington worked diligently with me to ensure that our needs were met. We really appreciated how flexible and willing to accommodate us personalizing the tour. The kids especially enjoyed our ride through the countryside and visiting the organic farm. We had the opportunity to taste and learn about Dominican coffee, chocolate and other delights. Edwin was a great tour guide and ensured that we were taken care of at each stop. Thank you again!
Top Punta Cana Transfers truly appreciates 483joye for sharing such a thoughtful review. The team is so pleased to hear that what began as a last-minute booking turned into such a memorable experience for the whole family. It means a lot to know that Wellington helped make the planning process smooth and flexible, and that the personalized approach made it possible for everyone to enjoy a real taste of the Dominican Republic beyond the resort. The team is especially happy that the countryside drive, the organic farm, and the chance to discover Dominican coffee, chocolate, and other local treats were highlights for the kids. They also truly appreciate the kind words about Edwin and are glad he helped make each stop comfortable and enjoyable. It would be a pleasure to welcome the family again on a future visit.
I wanted to share what a wonderful guide we had in Dominica. His name is Roger and he worked on this day for InvaderZim Taxi & Tours. I'm not sure if he also works for other companies. Anyway, Roger was amazing, very friendly, informative and professional. He actually hiked with us around the Fresh Water Lake up in the Cloud Forest as well as taking us to other interesting sites - wherever we wanted to go. I highly recommend asking for Roger when you book your day.
This private tour was the highlight of our trip. Edwin was a perfect guide and we loved everything. Our family learned so much about the culture, people, and the real DR! Edwin was also very open to customize the trip to best suit your interests. The plantation was fascinating to learn how chocolate, coffee, and vanilla begins and we even stopped at a small fruit stand to buy some local fruits. Such an eye opening experience and would recommend over a group trip.

It was so refreshing to leave the hotel environment and get to experience some of the real Dominican Republic. Beautiful lush green scenery, our very knowledgeable guide Edwin was amazing and talked to us about many topics and we shared stories about our lives. All of the places we visited showed us more about the livelihood of real people who live on this beautiful island and are trying to make their way and live their lives. Yes we had stops at places to buy tourist souvenirs but hey, who doesn’t want to contribute to the local economy. It was insightful, we felt very safe and enjoyed every minute of our day. Thank you for everything. Xx

Unforgettable Cultural Tour with Edwin Perez! My experience with the cultural tour led by Edwin Perez was incredible from start to finish! We explored Higuey, visited a local cigar shop where we got a hands-on look at how cigars are made, and took in the beauty and history of the famous Basilica de la Altagracia. Edwin was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel like family. He shared meaningful stories about the local culture and history that really brought the experience to life. The highlight for me was walking through the basilica—it’s breathtaking and spiritually moving. If you’re looking for an authentic Dominican experience filled with culture, learning, and warm hospitality, I highly recommend this tour and Edwin as your guide!

The entire team at Top Punta Cana Transfers is honored by your kind words, and Edwin is especially grateful to have been part of such a memorable experience for you.

Edwin always strives to make every guest feel like family, and your words are a beautiful reflection of that mission. We deeply appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable moments in the Dominican Republic. Warm regards, The Top Punta Cana Transfers Team
Edwin and Abel were wonderful. We rolled cigars, visited a working plantation in the mountains, drove through the crazy traffic in town and visited a bascilica. What an amazing way to spend the morning. Edwin and Abel were excellent sharing their knowledge of the area, politics and the culture. Our family of 6 really loved the experience and the chance to leaen a few things while enjoying our vacation. Wishing Edwin, Abel and their families the best.

We did the private half day punta cana tour and it was AMAZING!!! The tour surpassed our expectations and ended up being our favorite thing we did on our vacation. Our tour guide was Edwin and he was the sweetest human. He was so knowledgeable. He answered all our questions. From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable. We never felt unsafe. He allowed us to stop at whatever we wanted and the tour was very personal. I will definitely book with Summit Punta Cana Tours when we return! The communication for pickup was 100x better than the other 2 excursions we did on this trip. You could tell Edwin was passionate about his job and about making our tour enjoyable. Thank you again!

Our 4 hour tour turned out to be 5 and a half and Edwin our guide was awesome! He took very good care of us and showed us all of the promised sights and more. We were full of questions as this was our first trip to the Dominican Republic. I highly recommend taking this tour! You won't be disappointed!

This trip was the highlight of our week. Edwin is very knowledgeable. He showed and told us about the economy, health care, education and everyday life in the DR, and answered our many questions about the history of the DR and Haiti. I learned so much. Because it was a private tour we were able to make extra stops (for example to pick up a delicious take-out lunch from a restaurant that Edwin recommended - best meal we had all week), and skip others. We appreciated having this personal touch and conversation with Edwin, while Andry focused on driving us safely to each destination. Highly recommend.
Hi Maggie 😊, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review! I'm truly happy to hear that the tour was the highlight of your week in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. It was a real pleasure showing you a piece of our culture, history, and everyday life. I'm glad you enjoyed the local lunch — there’s nothing like authentic food to complete the experience! And thank you for mentioning Andry — he always makes sure the ride is comfortable and safe 🚗✨. Your kind words motivate us to keep offering unique and personalized experiences. Thank you for your trust and recommendation! We hope to welcome you back again soon. The island is always ready to greet you with open arms! 🌴☀️ Warm regards, Edwin Your guide in the DR
