  • An Authentic Experience in Higüey

    Taking the City Tour in Higüey was an excellent decision. As a Canadian who enjoys learning about local culture, my favorite part was visiting the traditional Dominican house. The family welcomed us warmly, and I got to see how they live, cook, and keep their traditions alive. It felt genuine and completely different from the resort experience. The guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover the real charm of Higüey and its people.

    Doing the tour with City Tours Higüey was a beautiful experience. From the beginning, I was treated with a lot of sweetness and respect, as if I were part of his family. Everything was clear, soft and with that Caribbean touch that I love. I learned new things from Higüey without getting bored, because the guides explain calmly and with special affection. Each stop had something nice and made me feel comfortable and happy throughout the tour. I recommend City Tours Higüey because you can really see the love they work with. It is a sweet, simple and enjoyable tour from start to finish

    During my journey to Higüey, I was able to appreciate the natural beauty that accompanies the rural paths. The green fields, sugarcane plantations and palm trees along the route form a typical and very pleasant landscape to observe. I also attracted attention to the Dominican rural life: the cattle, the farmers and the small country houses that give an authentic touch. When you arrive in Higüey, you notice the mixture of tradition, culture and spirituality that characterizes the city. This city tour allowed me to know its most important points and enjoy the natural landscape before entering the urban area.

    Parce, this tour was a bombshell. Since we left Punta Cana everything was super well organized. What I liked the most was that we could taste the freshly cut sugar cane, a total note, super sweet and natural. We also visited the Basilica of Higüey and uff... what an imposing monument. Being there feels special, it is one of those places that you do or do have to know. The truth, 100% recommended. A very bakan experience to learn more about Dominican culture.

    Doing this city tour from Punta Cana to Higüey was one of the best decisions of our trip. We loved getting to know beyond the beaches and discover the authentic and cultural part of Dominican Republic. The tour included a visit to the impressive Basilica of Our Lady of Altagrace, a place full of history and spirituality. We also walked through the local market, where we could see the daily life of Dominicans, taste fresh fruits and feel the energy of the place.
