This tour to Santo Domingo was brutal. The guide moved super well, explaining everything clear and keeping the group up to date without stress. The visit to the Colonial Zone was a unique experience, full of history and good vibe. And lunch, uff, delicious — real Dominican food, well served and flavored. In short, an organized, interesting and worth every peso tour.

I discovered Santo Domingo in a totally different way” I did a private tour and it was an amazing experience. I loved being able to tour the city at my own pace, without rush, while the guide showed me places and details that I would never have noticed on my own. I felt the history alive on every street and enjoyed every moment in total comfort.

Wow, it was incredible to walk through a colonial city that is more than 500 years old, and although some structures have been remodeled, there are others that have never been touched. It's beautiful to learn about history, and even more so when the guide is really well-prepared.
Santo Domingo loved it!

I took the Santo Domingo City Tour from Punta Cana and it was an experience totally worth it. Although the trip was a bit long, the transportation was comfortable, and the guide made the trip feel easy by sharing interesting facts. When I arrived in the city, I was impressed by the blend of history, culture, and modern atmosphere. We walked through charming streets, visited iconic places, and always had time to take photos and enjoy the tour.
