Very informative & fun 🤩 - This was an amazing experience with local insight and sightseeing. Robinson was an amazing tour guide. Very informative and funny. I loved the horse back riding, the visit to the local market, and learning about the cacao and coffee processes. It rained so didn’t get to enjoy the beach but overall had a great time!

Excellent tour made by excellent guides! - Westin and Robinson are the duo you can’t miss! They brought the energy throughout the entire tour. You get to do so much in a short period and they were attentive throughout the day. The horseback riding was my favorite part. If you have a weak the market won’t be for you (no Mickey Mouse).

Sandy and Franklin best cultural tour ever!! - Sandy the driver and Franklin were the best tour guides ever!! This tour went above and beyond my expectations and the experience and fun time we had was unforgettable. The tour first stop was riding horses. My daughter had some great pictures taken by the people that helped with horse ride. They were beautiful. The next stop was at Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Altagracia. As a catholic Franklin went into great detail about the history of the church and the story of the Virgin Mary. It was an awesome and great spiritual visit. The next stop was at a shop to buy souvenirs. We tried some great coffee at the shop. We then headed through the streets and saw the street markets and all things sell. We had lunch that was best authentic food. The beans were awesome and got try some great rum. Think was called BARCELO. You were able to walk down and see a beautiful river with rocks and great for pictures. Was a beautiful spot with cascading water flowing over the big rocks. Next we went to a house learned about coco bean and making of coco. Great items to buy that organic from the local farms. Also learned about different trees and culture. Then went to cigar making where made own cigar and more tasting of spirits. Last stop was Macao Beach. My daughter Olivia and I had a blast. Franklin was very knowledgeable about anything and everything when comes to culture experience. Thanks for great time
