“Die schlechteste Tour, die ich je mitgemacht habe. Wenn man Minussterne vergeben könnte, würde ich dies tun. Man wird von Touriabzocke zu Touriazocke geführt. Sieht fast nichts von Santo Domingo, hauptsächlich die Abzock Läden. (ca 40% der Zeit). Dem Tourguide sollte man Trinkgeld in einer Seitenstraße geben, warum auch immer. Nicht empfehlenswert, würde ich nichtmal kostenlos mitmachen. Komplette Zeit- und Geldverschwendung. Man hat am ganzen Tag nur ein Glas zu trinken bekommen, was ich auch recht wenig finde.”

“Great value for money. Stops were short but productive. Transport time was way too long. Review before booking. Transport was a safari type truck and not an air conditioned vehicle. Value for money was outstanding but the transport was long. This is a day tour and not a half day as advertised. Ended up paying for a cab back from last stop to save the back ache and journey in old safari truck.”

“Despite some challenges with pickup, the tour went as planned. Oswaldo was very accommodating, upbeat, and knowledgeable. We weren’t able to go into the church because mass was happening at the time we arrived but that was okay by me. We did have a nice time visiting the coffee plantation where I was even able to get a short impromptu massage! The women there were extremely kind when our van needed help getting out of a ditch. An eventful and memorable day for sure!”
