Cultural day from Punta Cana to Altos de Chavón and Higuey, with Casa de Campo views, local market, river lunch, and cocoa-coffee lessons.
“Decided to do this tour because I only had Altos de Chavon left to see since visiting DR. I had Theo as my guide and he was great. But since it was just me I was merged with another group. Beautiful views and great history. The only negative thing I have to say is about the guy with the donkey. He forcefully put the leash on that was on the donkey in my hand and forced me to take pictures. I understand tips are appreciated, but forcefully without asking if they would like to take a picture is not the way to go. I am not sure if he did…”

Punta Cana to Higuey in comfort, visit Basilica Virgen de la Altagracia, shop the local market, and grab souvenirs in a half-day plan.
“Transportion was very good with many scenic areas on the way and a friendly driver. The basilica and the small old church were interesting and worth seeing. Watch out for the basilica guide who wants to charge you for what’s included with the package. Just say no. The gift shop had high pressure people who wanted to charge ridiculous high prices. The market was interesting but was dirty and smelled. Not much for tourists here but the churches and the ride made it worthwhile.”

“Justo and Danilo were amazing tour guides! They were attentive, professional, and had a great sense of humor while always being respectful. They made sure we truly enjoyed every moment of the experience and even took pictures for us so we could have lasting memories. The food was absolutely delicious as well. I would definitely book with them again if I come back to Punta Cana. Highly recommend!”

“Edwin and his brother were amazing. They showed us the locals side of DR. Learning how cigars are made and making one ourselves was great.

“Une honte, nous n'avons pas fait la totalité de l'excursion, le guide ne savait même pas de quoi il parlait. Il s'est endormi pendant l'excursion ! Le pire le guide nous a indiqué que c'était pas la peine de prendre des photos qu'il nous prendrait lui. A la fin de l'excursion il a refusé de nous donner les photos sauf contre 150$ !!!! A fuir !!! Grosse arnaque”
