5.00It started with a brief orientation. The guide spoke fluent English and Spanish, answered some questions we had. The pacing of the tour was just right and we also had time for taking photos. We ate some mashed plantains, which were delicious. By the end we not only had amazing photos of the Caribbean coastline, but also got a good understanding of Santo Domingo’s heritage.
Excellent Tour
