Great highlights of Santa Domingo---very educational

JONNA_R, Apr 2024

Leo was excellent----great historian and friendly host for the tour!! Nice time exploring the history and culture.

Long but memorable day in Santo Domingo.

Dawna_S, Mar 2024

Memorable. But long day trip to Santo Domingo. From hotel to hotel it was about 12 hours. Took some time for the driver to get us and to pick one other up and drop one off along the way. Once we actually got into Santo Domingo, we met with the best guide ever Miguel. We started off at the national park where the caverns were absolutely spectacular. Miguel was sure to point out the history of that particular area. After that, we stopped off at a few historical areas like the Columbus mausoleum, the presidential Palace, all along the way, telling us the history of the areas and then stopped off at a quaint little place for lunch. Proceeded to the Santo Domingo sign, saw the church in the Godfather, the first City Hall, and then proceeded to one of the first cathedrals ever built. The cathedral was spectacular. Stopped for a beverage and souvenir shop. Only unfortunate part of the trip was one of our travel companions, put her card into an ATM and couldn’t get it back. Highly recommend you bring cash if needed and not use any ATM in the Dominican Republic. Was a long two hours back, but definitely worth the day. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Definitely worth it if you’re wanting to learn the history of the Dominican.

Great day out

Christine_B, Jan 2024

Guide was brilliant, lots information on the caves and Santa Domingo. Lovely lunch stop with lots of choice and facilities. Santa Domingo was lovely in the centre and our Guide provided information on the place and the outskirts of the centre which was interesting. It took 2 hours at start of day before we eventually set off with bus changes but once allocated the driver was the same from there on to end of day and he was lovely. Very long day though, 12 hour's

Kiara_H, Dec 2023

It was fun, there was a lot to see and the guide was very informative. The only thing I would say is that you should wear comfortable shoes

Good to walk around the old city

Maria_T, Dec 2023

Good tour around Christopher Columbus lighthouse and lovely place for lunch, but we were not told the night before that three eyes lake will be closed. On the day the national palace was also closed.

Amazing tour and our guide Victor was amazing and so friendly. And our driver very nice to. Pick up time was on time. And all the places we went.

A Great Tour

AndrewJ_B, Sep 2023

All of tour stops were great. The day went by very fast. The only issue, and this had nothing to do with the tour, was the heat. Be prepared to drink a lot of water and keep cool. The history provided by the tour guide were insightful at the various stops. If you have the opportunity, go and enjoy yourselves.

Discovering the city of Santo Domingo with its beautiful colonial buildings and interesting history.

Lots of time on the bus

Michael_S, Dec 2022

The tour was not quite as described. We spent a lot of time in the bus and kept switching coaches and were very crowded on the bus (people sitting on the steps and extra seats squeezed in). The guide spoke Spanish and it felt like an afterthought when he translated something to English. He basically brought us to very specific shops that he seemed to have a relationship with (kickbacks?) even though there were varied (and cheaper) shops literally around the corner.

Great tour

Paschasia_S, Dec 2022

Good driver, rodolphus, tour guide great. Nice lunch restaurant in colonial part. I have seen lots of caves but this one is special.

Would not go again

Vanessa_E, Nov 2022

Tour guide was nice and accommodating to everyone even though his English wasn't the best. The only thing I didn't like about the tour was the fact that they didn't offer any water or anything on the ride. We walked for hours in the heat and nothing provided

Mario_A, Aug 2022

Driver was very nice and helpful. The guide was awesome he was very knowledgeable and held us with our bags Jose the guide and Luis the driver were excellent

Awful

Mario_C, Aug 2022

Viator is the worst ever...the transport didn't show up at our hotel...they SUCK...I recommend you never use VIATOR they are liars and irresponsible...they are allowed inside of Melia wellness cause it appears they don't transport insurance worst expurience ever. Viator sucks Viator sucks Viator sucks

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hello Mario, we explained to you 3 times that the pick-up point was outside the hotel since your Melia hotel does not allow us to pick you up in the lobby since they sell the same excursion much more expensive. Your Melia hotel wants to force you to bought more expensive from them as I had already explained. Anyway your money was refunded. Sorry for the inconvenience caused

Good tour

Can_P, Jul 2022

We joined the tour on our honeymoon. It was so smooth, we were picked up from our hotel in Punta Cana and we travelled as a small group. Except the fact that the restaurant emplyees were rude and the driver was driving so aggressively, everything was great. Also for the prices, it was cheaper than what our hotel was offering.

I want start off my...

Inayah_V, Jul 2022

I want start off my saying that Miguel and Leo were both amazing. This excursion was so educational and fun . I would totally do this again. If you don’t really like to walk a lot I wouldn’t recommend but it is totally worth it.

ling2sj, May 2022

under expectation, driver was driving extremally reckless. Glad that I brought travel insurance in case something happened during this tour.

Great tour but long day

jfiddaman, May 2022

The overall experience was really good but there was a lot of waiting around and unnecessary stops without any explanation as to why. Once we got to the city the guide was great and we had a good time but there was a lot of stopping in “shops of friends” to encourage you to part with your cash

Knowledgeable Tour Guide

Kayon_M, Apr 2022

I had a great time. The tour guide was excellent and helped me find everything I requested from Taino art to Cigars! The trip was worth it to see Santo Domingo, I recommend it!

Transport well organized,...

Joanne_M, Mar 2022

Transport well organized, but long drive, bus a bit cramped and music blaring made it hard to bear. Driver was thoughtful in respect to toilet breaks and organising hotel drop offs. Our tour guide was fantastic, spoke Spanish and English. Well organized with entry into certain sights facilitated, photo stops provided on route and good at keeping everyone together. Answered questions and was knowledgeable and approachable, giving advice on what cost of souvenirs should be. Columbus house was my favourite stop but all were worth it!

Santo Domingo is beautiful

saseatherton, Feb 2022

Once we arrived in Santo Domingo we met with our guide Danny that’s was a real nice guy full of information. He made the trip fun and had a good sense of humour. The coach trip wasn’t as pleasant thought we hand to change coach and it’s a long way there . It didn’t help that the guys who picked us up realised after having left and collected other guest from other hotel that more guest were ate our hotel so had to go back again then be met at some petrol station to jump on another coach… we wasted and hour from the trip and our guide said that due to our late arrival we had no time to visit the light house with oh was a shame. In all a good trip though….
