What a wonderful experience
Uloaku_A
, May 2022
Everything was spot on. Pick up was on time, and the transition from the coaster bus to the luxurious bus was seamless. Our driver, Enriquez did a phenomenal job of navigating through the narrow streets of Santo Domingo. Darius, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the landmark. I could tell that he was very passionate about his job. The entire tour team paid close attention to the guest to ensure our safety while touring and crossing the streets of Santo Domingo. I was skeptical about this tour because I am pregnant, but I am so happy that I did it. This tour is a must-do if you are in the area!!!
Highly Recommended

We toured with Dario - absolutely AWESOME day. He is a great guide, full of personality. He stayed with us the whole day and shared his knowledge. We met with a chocolate maker and a jewerly making store. While they would like you to purchase, there was no heavy sales tactics - we were never rushed. Would definitely suggest that you request Dario and Enrique as your guides.

Very little tour given

, Mar 2022
To start with we were picked up at 6.30am then spent 1hr going to 6 other hotels before leaving to go to Santo Domingo. It would have been nice to know that was going to happen. It was the same for the drop off, 6 hotel drop offs before ours. The tour itself was 70% in Spanish, so I didn't understand a lot of it. It would have been nice to know that was going to happen. The tour should have been in 100% English then a separate tour for the other languages. Normally on a city tour you would expect a lot of explanation of the city and a walk around the main areas. On this tour there was very limited commentary on the city. One thing we didnt appreciate was being guided to 3 souvenir shops as part of the tour! In total we spent an hour in souvenir shops. Clearly the guides were getting commission if we bought anything, we were not impressed by this at all. Overall we were disappointed with the tour.

Very educational and informative trip. Mincy is a knowledgable person and can present information on a funny and entertaining manner. Liked the walk through colonial town. Lunch was ok but not much of a social distancing.
Well planned, well organized, would recommend this trip .
Perez is a professional driver.
Great Tour

The colonial area was lovely. The guide was full of facts and stories.
I wish we'd had a bit more free time to explore. We were mostly shuttled between museums and then to lunch.
Overall our guide and driver were quite good. I wish we'd spent more time exploring the streets of the old town and learning a bit about local life and a bit less time in museums where we either listened to pre-recorded audio or had one of the museum guides leading us. I could have paid for that separately myself and not needed this tour.
But the tour itself was not bad. Probably just my fault for having different expectations.
It was nice trip. City is...

The historical significance of the place is not to be missed.
We were a large group and didn’t get really the chance to soak in the history of Diego Columbus’s house since we were so cramped.
Social distancing should be observed during lunch.
Less souvenir shops more of Santo Domingo.

We had a great experience beginning with our interaction with the booking agent, Hope. She went out of her way to answer all of our questions and ensure that we knew our pick up location since we are not staying in a hotel.
The bus ride was comfortable with a rest stop with clean rest rooms near the middle of drive.
Our guide, Darius, was informative throughout the trip and the bus ride was an educational experience about life and culture in the Dominican Republic. He was smart, knowledgeable, and funny and definitely made the trip more enjoyable.
The driver, Rene, was safe and courteous.
Lunch was delicious in a clean, efficient restaurant. I recommend the fish!
The Colonial Zone was a lesson in the history of western civilization. The Cathedral was beautiful.
A lot of walking, but well worth it!

A very fun experience - but not perfect
Jonathan_M
, Jan 2022
For the most we really enjoyed the trip. Here is what I liked and didn’t like:
Pros
-plenty of bathroom breaks
-large, air conditioned bus
- we got to see a lot of the city from the bus
- the lunch they provided was very good in my opinion
Cons-
-they take you to a lot of places where it’s obvious they only take you there because they get kickbacks (the chocolate “factory” and the final souvenir store)
-We were on a bus with both Spanish and German speakers, so everything had to be done in three languages.

We were picked-up from the hotel on time and transferred to a larger bus. Agency that handled the tour was "Runners Adventure" and the guide was Dario. The staff were all very nice and provided a lot of information along 2hr+ ride to Santa Domingo. The bus ride was long but comfortable, there was a stop along the way at a chocolate factory/shop for snacks and to use bathrooms. The city buildings and churches are beautiful. There is a fair bit of walking in the old city, and unfortunately we got a lot of rain on that day; thankfully the tour agency provided us with umbrellas, but you might want to carry one! Lunch was delicious local fare.
The description of the tour on Viator is a little different from what we saw (no museum or light-house, but we saw the Jesuit church), but overall the experience was very good.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
