The travel guides Gary and Felix were excellent, provided a lot of information and made the tour very engaging. It starts quite early in the morning, but is extremely worthwhile.
I had a Blast Amado my Tour Guide was so funny. Every stop was info
Tour was fun with Amado our guide.
Here’s a brief, fun version: 🇩🇴🌴 We had such an amazing time exploring a different side of the DR on our countryside safari tour! We started with horseback riding 🐎, visited the cathedral, tried our hand at cigar rolling, and enjoyed some delicious local food—the stewed chicken was definitely my favorite! 😋 We also visited a local family farm before ending the adventure at the beach. 🌊 It was a LONG day, but our tour guide Angel and driver Emilio were AMAZING—answering all our questions, sharing so much about the culture, and keeping the party going the entire time! 😂🎶 Definitely recommend this tour if you want to get outside the resort and experience another side of the island! 🇩🇴❤️
everything was excelent , Luis Pujols is an expert guide , we enjoyed a lot , also the driver was super friendly with us
very fun very good very yummy drink very cute chikens
We had a wonderful experience! The tour was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. Our guide, Gregory, was outstanding. He shared so many fascinating historical facts and interesting details, answered every question and kept the whole group entertained with his great sense of humor. A big thank you as well to our driver, Cesar, for making the trip smooth and comfortable. One of the highlights of the day was the visit to the cocoa and coffee farm. Doña María and her family welcomed everyone with incredible warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home. It was fascinating to see how cocoa and coffee are grown and processed. They have a great selection of local products, including natural cocoa like ground, pressed, sweetened, and unsweetened, body and lip oils, and many other handmade items. Overall, it was an amazing tour that I would highly recommend!
Fantastic trip. Amado was fantastic. Really appreciate his knowledge. It was great.
Amado is an excellent guide with a great attitude and very kind, but the tour is not attractive enough, not to say boring.

Baldy and the driver Hulbany were excellent tour guides. My party had 17 family members. The guides were knowledgeable and patient with the group. The showed us the real Dominican Republic outside of the resort. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to learn about the island
