4.00Distance from pier to pick up location was unclear and farther than expected. Making the walk challenging to two people with canes . That being said the guide and driver were very knowledgeable and accommodating to our interests.
Wonderful.

Not worthy for us/Not private

2.00The very friendly guide and driver. The tour is literal to buy things in shops. And that's not very nice. The rum tour says you're being taken to a factory, but you're not. Plus it's not private. We did it with 100 other people and you had to spend half an hour outside. You enter a dark hallway, speakers tell you a 2-minute story and you pass into a room to watch a video. They give you a taste of rum and you go. There is no factory to visit. Then they take you to a jewelry store to sell you amber and a cigar store to sell you cigars. I recommend something more cultural and not to sell you things.

A good way to spend a day in port

5.00Great safe, easy way to spend a day in port if you aren't into the adventure things. Francisco and Javier were very nice and accomodating. We were intersted in learning more about the DR history and he took us to a private museum that was enjoyable, the lunch spot was very good. Not their fault, but of course everything in DR is abut trying to sell the tourists something. The chocolate tour is really just a private company trying to sell chocolate and coffee, same with cigar and and amber although the Rum was more a valid "factory" tour. I would recommend doing some research and finding some valid places you want to go to and then asking your guides to take you there, treat it as more of a private car and translator. Regardless of the obvious kickbacks and tourist trap, we enjoyed it.
