Wonderful Private Half Day Tour in Punta Cana With Edwin - We booked a private half day tour in Punta Cana and it was awesome. Edwin gave us a list of activities to customize our experience. He showed us a different side away from the Resort. Edwin really went into detail and explained things to us. We went to a typical house and we got to see how they make coffee, chocolate, and other things. We went to the Temple and took the perfect picture like I wanted to mimic before we went. Edwin even got us some cold water along the way. He also took us to a souvenir shop and when we did not like the prices, he even took us to another shop that was more to our liking. Please book this tour and you will enjoy it.

Half Day Tour with Edwin - Our tour guide, Edwin, was terrific. Although we were the only ones booked for that day, he did not cancel our reservations, like some companies, but gave us a private tour experience. He explained in detail the history of the DR and showed us places that gave us the insight about the daily life of the community here. It was an amazing experience...

The Real Dominican Republic. - We were staying at a very lovely all inclusive resort and decided we wanted to see the real D.R. It was a great way to see beyond the resort. We really enjoyed seeing a typical house and how cigars are made as well as coffee and cocoa. They let us try rolling a cigar which was a nice experience. Edwin was most accommodating.

Friendly, private local guided tour and airport transportation too - Tina was a very friendly and flexible guide. Since it was a private tour we were able to tailor the tour to our group, which was wonderful. We enjoyed the market. The coffee and cocoa plantation tour was very interesting and informative and we really enjoyed seeing a real Dominican house to give us a feel for the way of life there. The cathedral was amazing and the highlight of our tour.
This company also provided our airport transfers, and they were amazing. They were very prompt and very reasonably priced. They helped us with all of our luggage and even stopped at a super market on our way from the airport to our condo (it was their suggestion)n and waited while we picked up some groceries. They were very informative on the drive. It was private transportation, so it was only our group of 2 when we arrived and our group of 4 when we departed. Their vans were roomy and comfortable. Highly recommend!
