Discover the making of cigars, visit a local market and above all a magical moment at a family in the mountains with homemade meals and explanations about cocoa, coffee and local fruits. An authentic, warm and intimate experience. A big thank you to Yoyo, passionate, caring and more French speaking. We recommend 100%! ❤️

5.00We went on a family excursion with 6 this month, and it was simply an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Yo-Yo, introduced us to real Dominican life throughout a full day. Thanks to him, we were able to see authentic places, understand the local culture and enjoy a truly unique moment. Everything was perfectly organized, warm and rewarding. Yo-Yo was incredibly kind, always thoughtful and energetic — we had a real crush on him. A fabulous day that we are not about to forget! 🌞🇩🇴 I advise you with your eyes closed #thefamilybretonne
