This tour was everything we expected and more! If you would like to see what true DR is like, don't even hesitate. Our AWESOME tour guide Manny & driver Juan, were informative, funny, and completely down to earth. We went through the sugar cane fields, where we got to taste fresh sugar cane, to a Dominican home out in the... More

I liked seeing all the types of vegetation growing along the ride. We got stuck in he mudd and another Safari jeep helped us out. Very exciting. It was the first time I had ever seen sugar cane. One of our guides got out and chopped us some so we could taste it. More

REALLY FUN! I recommend this for sure! A bumpy ride on open-air tour bus through the city then off to the mountains where you see how locals really live and visit a school with children who are all so happy to see you. Bring school supplies for them (you give them to the principal so that she can distribute evenly... More

This is a highly recommended day trip if you want to get a real feel for what life is really like for the average Dominican citizen. Good shopping value along the trip. More

Obnoxious guide that wanted to be called sexy daddy. You're plied with booze in the truck but there is a dearth of toilets when you stop at the various designated spots. Also it was a blatant money grab - you're exhorted to buy cigars, overpriced rum and spices that were ground up in someone's kitchen. More
