Great!! - Couldn't ask for better 100/10 At first I was kind of concerned because I did not receive a handband after paying while some others did and for the fact that me and my friend was the only one who spoke English on that trip, however everything ran smoothly and turned out great

An historical experience - The historic center of Santo Domingo and the city itself cannot be visited in just one day, there are many places, squares and buildings to see and know, if you like history, the ruins, it is perfect for you. The Ladies' Street, the Primate Cathedral of America and the Fortress of Santo Domingo (entrance costs 2 USD) is a must. Paseo el Conde street has a variety of places and restaurants ideal for rest. Some streets are in maintenance

Colonial City Santo Domingo is worth a visit. - Colonial city of Santo Domingo , well worth seeing for those staying in Punta Cana. The colonial city is super charming, a historic neighborhood of the city of Santo Domingo, declared UNESCO Memorial Heritage in 1990. We traveled in 2 couples and closed a tour with the same BD Experience that made the transfer to the resort. It was very good because it is a 1 day tour, (where we visited the Colonial City Santo Domingo and 3 Ojos National Park), and having a van just for us with driver and guide was amazing.

Colonial and historic city - It is a place to visit being close as it is from Punta Cana, a day trip. Colonial and historical lovers will find it very pleasant and it is really worth knowing.

Maximum disappointment - Very disappointed. A city that offers absolutely nothing. Needless to stop there long time, in two hours you have already seen everything.
