Mr. Robinson was extremely friendly and knowledgeable throughout our experience. I truly recommend this tour.
We loved Robinson! He and his daughter were so wonderful. She was singing in the car and it made everything feel like home. We had a great time. I highly recommend this tour. Like he says, “no Disney land no Mickey Mouse,” you get the feel for the Dominican culture in a way that is fun and respectful.
Robinson is the best! He made this tour one of the best parts of my trip! We went many places and it was very informative. He truly treated us like family!
This was the BEST tour we have been on in a while!! Darwin was the most amazing tour guide, and we did so so much! He picked us up promptly, and we went horseback riding, visited the Huguey Basilica, went to a local market, had the most incredible local meal, visited a tobacco factory (and rolled our own cigars!), visited a local's house, where we got to see the process of making chocolate and coffee, went to Macao beach, and more! It was a full day of fun, and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting DR. So so so much fun!!! Thank you Darwin!!
This was a great option to see DR outside of the resorts. We were gone from our hotel for about 6 hours and covered a variety of industries in the DR. Robinson and his daughter were great guides and very knowledgeable and hospitable!
Thank you to Darwin — this has been an amazing experience! You are very knowledgeable and made the day feel truly special. We absolutely had a great cultural day, with the small group setting making it even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, the stops were well chosen, and everything felt authentic and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Super interesting to see the DR outside of a resort! We had Robinson and his daughter, they were so kind and funny! Would definitely book again!
For starters, the host Teo is as great as all of the other reviews note! Super cool and knowledgeable about the culture (also super funny). Really an amazing JAM PACKED excursion. My only note to those considering this is that it WILL take longer than 5 hours, being more like 8 hours from start to finish.
Teo and Sandy did an excellent job on this tour! Teo was very informative and knowledgeable about the island and all it has to offer. They were very friendly. The food was also soooooo good!
Our driver and tour guy were very friendly. We went horse back riding, Higuey market, the cathedral church, Anamuya River and had lunch there the food was delicious. Then we went to learn about Coffee, vanilla cocoa and fruit tasting and saw one of there humble homes and cigar factory and last Macao beach . Was a long day long ride. I feel they should have left out the beach cause by the time we got there we were all tired. A good 8 to 10 hour trip..
