Jose was an amazing tour guide who explained so much of the history of the DR in our 2 hour tour. The Zona Colonial is gorgeous and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We splurged for the bikes, but we would have been fine with regular bikes.
Fun and interesting tour with the best guide Jose!

Fantastic e-bike tour with Jose. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny and spoke fluent English with hardly any accent. He showed us the major sites and the hidden gems and gave us a lot of history and insights to the culture and social aspects of the country.
He also spent time afterwards to give us tips on things to see and do and places to eat. Wish we would have done this the first day we were in town as we could have avoided some tourist traps. We highly recommend this tour with Jose.
Good and Bad

Wish I could rate them higher.
First the Bad:
We booked a tour weeks ahead, it was confirmed and my credit card was charged. We arrived at the shop and the shop team had no idea and was completely surprised. We found out that during Easter Holy week either there was no tours available or the tour guide just didn't show up to work. As a note to all travelers to the DR, we found out the hard way that about half the country doesn't show up to work during the entire Easter Holy week. So Viator and the shop managers didn't do their jobs. When a tour is available to book and its confirmed don't leave your clients hanging out to dry if it is a major national holiday. Fix it. It was a really crappy way to start our experience of the DR.
The Good:
The team in the shop was great. Once we all figured out what was happening they were very apologetic and accommodating. They promised a full refund. Which they took care of quickly and let us use two bikes to ride around town. It wasn't the same experience as Santa Domingo can be intense to new comers on bikes. A local guide would have been a major difference maker.
Thank you shop team. Your managers owes you a thank you and a coffee.
