We liked the excursion, we were able to do some good shopping, and the guide was great, Mr. Ozuna was very funny and concerned about us, we had a very good time with him. We recommend it.

Bad experience

They schedule you for 7:30, make thousands of stops wasting time at a gas station, you go in a van with three seats with 4 people sitting, super uncomfortable, cramped, it barely cools, it was 10 am and we were still on the way, not even a quarter of the way through, terrible with schedules.

Knowing our island as a Family!🏝️🇩🇴♥️

Fun and culture is what they sum up this weekend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience on this excursion in Santo Domingo, from the start the staff was very friendly and explained everything clearly and safely above all🙏🏽. The tour was exciting, full of spectacular scenery, culture, adventure and stops that are really worthwhile and without missing that very cold President🍻, the transport was in good condition and you could see the organization of the whole team. If you are looking for something different, with a touch of culture, Dominican cuisine and fun, I definitely recommend this excursion , it is perfect to go with friends, as a couple or as a family, and I would definitely repeat it again.
