Had a great experience with Laura taking me around town, she was super helpful and knowledgeable. I was able to take some great street photography of some of the the iconic areas of Santiago de los Caballeros and by the end of the tour we went to a "Colmado" where we could chill Dominican Style and have a refreshment. I've recommended Laura's tour to my friends and looking forward to other ones she may have in the future for when I come back to visit the country.
