Great Tour in a Short Amount of Time! - I would highly recommend this tour! Fransisco was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about all of the places we went and really watched out for our group. We had a group of 4 young women and I felt safe at all times. I was also impressed by how much we saw in such a short amount of time. The tour was very comprehensive and we felt like we saw the whole city. Thank you, Francisco!

An amazing time, again! - Always an amazing time with Edwin! I have toured with him March of 2024 and now July of 2025. I love the ease of pickup, multitude of water bottles and always on AC in the van. We really got to see anything and everything we asked for! Our first tour was quite the trek as we did the entire city tour as is, he even took us up to the cable tour despite saying we probably couldn’t get on (he was right but we were curious). It was truly a full tour with historical notes! Our second tour we were looking for something quicker and more casual. He had taken us to a hidden gem restaurant on the first tour so I came back looking for it! We did the rum factory, umbrella and pink street, a thrown in chocolate factory tour, and then the restaurant. I really appreciated getting a custom tour and he took SO MANY amazing pictures of us which is so nice as a couple traveling together. Book with Edwin! He is so kind and will get you where you need to go with a smile.

Amazing Tour - We recently went on a tour and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The van was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned — a perfect way to travel around. They provided us with bottled water, which was a thoughtful touch. What really stood out was how relaxing and enjoyable the whole experience was. They also gave us a great history lesson about the Dominican Republic, sharing interesting facts and stories that really brought the culture to life. Most importantly, they made sure my family felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. You can tell they truly care about their guests. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Fantastic tour! - If you’re on the fence about booking this tour, hop off NOW and BOOK IT! We wanted a historical/educational tour to learn more about the culture in the Dominican and all it has to offer but were also concerned about how little time we had in port. Edwin did not disappoint! He put our minds at ease from the start, assuring us we’d be back in plenty of time (and we were). He was communicative, friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable answering all of our questions and going at whatever pace we preferred. We saw so many things from the rum factory, chocolate making, cigar making (even got to roll our own cigar), Umbrella Street , Paseo de Doña Blanca, San Felipe Fort, the cathedral to Central Park and much more! You won’t regret booking this tour! Edwin treats you like VIP from start to finish. ¡Ahora somos familia! Gracias por un fantástico recorrido, Edwin! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Disappointing - Too much shopping (which I was not interested in) in the guise of education. Selling us rum, selling us chocolate, selling us cigars. We spent not enough time on the walking part. Little on the way of history.

Careful what you buy - The tour guides were friendly; however, the so called Chocolate factory they take you to on this tour sells you a product from Estonia. It is not from the Chocolate factory in DR. I suspect the samples were the real deal, but not what you buy. The product we purchsed was NOTHING like the samples given. I will book through the cruise line next time so that I am sure to purchase authentic products. Bait and switch not appreciated AT ALL!
