What To Expect
The 3 Eyes National Park
During the visit to Santo Domingo, we will make a stop at Los Tres Ojos National Park, where we will make a tour of about 45 minutes, and we will visit the three Taino caves and the fourth lake. The Los Tres Ojos National Park played an important role in the life, culture and lifestyle of the Tainos. It is important to note that these caves played an important role in life, culture, and in the Taino religion. We will always do this guided tour, with a native of the area, who will give us every detail of what was visited there.
Columbus Lighthouse (Faro A Colon)
In our visit to the Colon lighthouse from outside the building we will observe the different countries that supported the initiative to create this monument. This visit is to the external part of the monument where we will take photos in this place with the mobile pope.

3.00The toue is good for the price including lunch. Our Guide concentrate on mostly showing you around rather bringing you to gift shops. Lots of Walking. children and seniors not able to walk welll not recommended. I gave it a 3 star because the guide should have offer some breaks especially washroom breaks before going on bus which is 1.5 hr each way to Punta Cana. I also took another star away because the bus driver was extremely dangerous driver. Honking and passing at every vechicle braking very close to a vechicle. which is dangerous

4.00It was really good except longer than advertised. They said 8 hrs, more like 11 hours with traffic and dropping off everyone at separate hotels. It was a great day trip with some natural things, history, food and some gift store shopping. Long day but worth it. Bring your own water and good shoes. Our tour guide, David, was great and spoke great English. A good tour to learn the Dominican culture and history.
Either improve transportation or better enjoy the Resort

2.00The management of the transfers and transport is very poor, we had to demand a change of vehicle because his brakes failed, he had to go off the lane to the bank to avoid collision with a truck braked on the highway, reckless driving, the solution was to change buses and reposition the occupants of that vehicle in ours without brakes, a total irresponsibility. It must be said that the guide Juan Ozuna in Santo Domingo was very friendly and attentive throughout the visit, if the rating was solely for him it would be 5 stars.
Terrible service DANGEROUS

Terrible tour

1.00DO NOT go on this trip 3 hour drive each way in a crammed bus. Spent more time in/around gift shop than attractions. Guide seemed to care more about kickback from them than comfort or guiding the group. Lunch was ok but wasn’t till 3 pm and there was no mention of how late it was. Bathrooms horrible.
