“Definitely would recommend this excursion to anyone who visits the DR. Was very fun and exciting and everything felt completely safe. It’s about a 15 minute walk outside the main gate where they hold up a sign so you know who/where to walk up to. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful and the ride itself was an amazing experience.”

He took the time to explain the history and culture of the city, and his patience was truly appreciated, especially while we explored different shops at our own pace. The entire tour was enjoyable, relaxing, and very well organized. We highly recommend this excursion and highly recommend Eriel as a guide!”

He took the time to teach us aswell as learning a little from us. The places we visited went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Rolled our own cigars, tried samples of many new foods not available in states. Top tour of all. My husband and I have been 3 times to punta cana and this time we are here with 7 other people. You won't regret booking with Viator.”
