“Santo Domingo tour was pleasent and must see. Spent good time at the historical district. Would prefer free time to walk around instead of being sent to one store for shopping experience. Short movie was not on the itinerrary, good way to cool down if you need to, however, I would prefer to spend the time on my own. Overall, experience was great and Nacho, the tour guide, was very entertaining and knowledgeable.”

“It was great! I had read the prior reviews and it set me with expectations that were met! Picked up at 7am as we were the farthest hotel from the other pick up’s, drove to a pit stop to transfer to a bigger bus with more people, then 2 1/2 hour drive to SD where we followed the itinerary, the bigger bus dropped us all off at our hotels, no second transfer. My family really enjoyed it and feel like we got alot for the price!”
