Great - One of the most captivating aspects of the trip is the opportunity to experience the warm and welcoming hospitality of its people. The locals are incredibly friendly and proud of their culture, and they are more than happy to share their traditions and stories with visitors. sampling traditional Dominican cuisine

Excellent value but not as description - The trip was excellent, all staff very good and fun to be with. People on trip all great fun. Didn't visit a river or water slide as in description. No horse ranch, horses were on beach which was first stop not later as advertised and maybe would have been better later in day. Overall great fun but booked for river and slide as well. Rum was flowing on bus and an excellent plus to staff for this.

A fun filled tour - My friends and I appreciated this excursion! There was sooo much included. It rained part of the day which sucked but obviously that was no one’s fault. Also, we were told this was a 4-5 hour thing and it ended up being much longer so we were a little exhausted when we returned to our resort. I thought I read snacks were included but they were not, we were able to purchase stuff at a little store before starting the tour. My only other issue was when we visited the church there was a service being held and we were told not to go in…but then people were still walking in and taking pics/videos. I thought that was disrespectful and a better job could have been done at keeping people outside. Overall, it was fun and worth the cost!!

Half-day cultural tour with family - The visits are too quick, and end with tourist trap stops to buy souvenirs. We spend too much time in souvenir shops. The guide communicated some interesting information about the country.

Great tour. Poorly executed. - Overall the intent of this tour is great. The places were great except the beach/horseback riding took place on a dilapidated beach. Poorly maintained. My rating came from three issues: 1. I received a notification that the pickup time has been moved back after I’d gone to bed. We eventually connected but there a window of panic as they had come and gone by the time we came down for our originally scheduled pickup time. He came back. 2. There was no narration to speak of. None of the tour guides spoke any English. So when we were in the vehicle or along the tour, we didn’t get a lot of history or narration. 3. The tour was supposed to be a half day getting back around noon. We got back at 4 pm. I intentionally selected this tour based on it being a half day.
