          Private Transport to Airport
          Easy to book! Got us from our resort to the airport in a timely matter and was very safe! We were very appreciative and made the end of our trip good!

          Punta Cana Experience
          The drivers are the best. We got 2 drivers, Brian and I cant remember the other drivers name. He has colored eyes. They were both great. We got to our hotel on time, they took us to mall, came back for us. They ensured we were safe and they were on time and spoke with us through the journey. Will definitely book my next trip with you.

          Horrible- stay away!
          This company stated at booking to enter the exact addresses for pricing. We did exactly that after ready a bad review that stated they tried to up charge and diy or the price. We paid for a private transfer to our hotel and got a text the day before asking for more money (double) stating more distance. Our booking had all exact address typed in. Do not book with this company - they are not reputable!!!

          Great Experience
          Our driver, Daniel Mora, took us to the airport from our hotel. He was very kind, took care of our luggage, and held good conversation which made the drive entertaining. He got us to the airport in a timely fashion. Definitely recommend.

          Zip line fun
          This was my first zipline and it was great! The staff made me comfortable and I felt very safe. The views were beautiful. The experience was exhilarating and well worth the price. It did feel a little rushed from one platform to the next. Cost $40 extra for pics and a helmet cam, so bring cash if you want to take home photographic proof. Also to tip the guides and driver. No secure place to leave your stuff so only bring what you need and be prepared to leave it amongst strangers.

          Excellent glimpse into Dominican life and culture
          We are very happy we chose this half day cultural tour. It was exactly what we wanted - a glimpse into the history of the Dominican Republic as well as a tour of a modern Dominican city so we could see how the people in this country actually live. We thoroughly enjoyed the day - so many of my questions about Dominican culture and experience were answered on this tour. Our tour guide Angel was EXCELLENT - he's a fabulous ambassador for his country. We enjoyed learning from him. Highly recommend this tour!

          Wonderful Day!
          The tour was fantastic, our driver Pablo was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to show us his culture. It's a great way to spend a day learning and sightseeing. We highly recommend this tour.

          It was nice to have all 7 in one vehicle. Our driver was funny and friendly. We were pressured into booking an excursion though we had already booked separately.

          Scamming for more money.
          Prebooked a private car service to avoid the hassle and haggle at the airport. Paid 25 dollars one way to the hotel, but I was hustled. Upon arrival, they told me that because my hotel was far I had to pay an additional $30. They said it was stated in an email. I received an email and that was never disclosed. Tried calling the support number and no answer. After realizing I had no other choice, I told the woman I would pay the $30 but I needed change cause I had 20 dollar bills and she said she only had 5 bucks in change. The driver had change but what a scam. My hotel was 5 more minutes past the hard rock. DO NOT USE DOMINICAN TOURS AND TRANSFERS THIS COMPANY. THEY WILL CHARGE YOU TWICE.

          Amazing experience
          It was an amazing experience with HQT. Kudos to Will for taking great care of our large group of 20+. We ended up booking private party boat with HQT as well. Entire family had a blast. I will highly recommend them.

          Average experience
          From the airport was great and good prompt service, pickup was a bit of a disaster. There was no call 24 hours to our departure, I messaged through the app and no response, I asked Viator to reach out as well with no response. So the night before we leave at 830AM I talked to the front desk and no problems getting a taxi to help relieve my stress of pickup. So we went to bed with no plans of being picked up by this company, I asked Viator for a 50% refund since there was no pickup. We woke up to finish packing at 730AM and the company canceled my request for refund and then told me they will be there in 20 minutes which we were not ready. Still had to finish packing and check out. We made it and they did pick us up but could of used a better scheduling for this so we could of planned a little better.

          I was deceived
          I was looking for a transportation for 6 people from Punta Cana airport to the Jewel Punta Cana hotel when I saw your add stating $50.00 cad for a shuttle from the airport to Punta Cana hotels. I did the booking ang got a message when I landed that I had to pay an extra $30.00 usd as my hotel was located in Uvero Alto. It is true that you offered me a refund but we were kind of stuck. You should confirm the price after the client put their hotel name. I won't recommend you sorry.

        Edwin is an excellent tour guide. Very nice and helpful. He was very good with the older and younger children. He also has a lot of knowledge of the country. He also took care of the transfer to the airport!

        This trip was marked down due to the fact that there was a mix up at pick up. Two of us were picked up
        In a beautiful mini bus with an exceptional driver. An hour later he received a call and we had to wait an hour at a service station for a tour bus as there had been a mistake ? What was worse was the company manager blamed us for getting in the mini bus- he was very rude and uncooperative- no compensation given for the companies mistake and our inconvenience. The bus was an old dirty bus. Driver was good and guide a character.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
