Fun experience - Wester and Robinson were amazing! We visited many locations and felt safe touring. They provided beverages for our long 6 hour tour and finished up perfect by visiting the local beach which was spectacular. They both answered all our questions and kept it fun. Highly recommend! First time in DR!

The best experience in Punta Cana - Western was the name of our guide and he was awesome! My family and I enjoyed the real experience of the citizens of Punta Cana. The scenery in the mountains were absolutely breath taking. The food was delicious and we felt safe everywhere Western took us! He was the man in charge! The price was unbelievable for all that we received. I am so grateful for the experience. If you come to DR and don't experience the real Dominican Republic culture you are missing out!!!

10/10 experience - Western was our tour operator and we had the most amazing time. We got to visit many beautiful places such as hoyo azul where we got to swim, a horse ranch were we did some horse back riding and we also got to do zip lining as well as ride boogies. We finished off at playa Macao which was one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever seen. Western was a great tour guide throughout going above and beyond making sure we had water and were not just having fun but also learning a bit of the history. He treated us like we were family. Muchas gracias por todo western! -la cibaena

We had a great time! - Our tour guides name was Darwin and he was great!! He was very kind and very knowledgeable. The locations visited were fun and we weren’t at each location too long. I wish the horse riding part was a little longer but otherwise it was great.

Enriching and immersive experiences - The tour was an absolute delight, largely thanks to our incredible tour guide, Darwin. He was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing the local culture and history, making every story come alive. The tour offered a refreshing glimpse into life outside the resort, taking us through vibrant local markets, historic sites, and charming villages. Although each stop was relatively brief, Darwin ensured we maximized our time, providing enriching and immersive experiences at every turn. Whether it was tasting local delicacies, witnessing traditional crafts, or engaging with the friendly locals, each moment was a treasure. This tour was a perfect blend of education and adventure, and Darwin’s exceptional guidance made it truly unforgettable. Bring some cash for tips!

Great Excursion - We enjoyed every bit of this excursion. Our group had a phenomenal time and our guide Wester was very knowledgeable & Awesome! This excursion allows you to get to know the real Dominican Republic. Horseback Riding was fun, the cathedral was very beautiful. Great knowledge from the coffee and cacao people. The cigar shop was amazing as well and I rolled my first cigar😊. We had Dominican food that was delicious. Last but not least was the beautiful Macao beach. We highly recommend this tour if you are interested in getting to know the country.
