amazing tour - Our tour guide and driver were amazing as well as our coordinator Arisleidy. Arisleidy made sure that we met with our tour guide and driver on the day of. Our tour guide was very informative and was very entertaining. We really enjoyed every activity that was included in this package. It was very nice to see the local Dominican culture. Would recommend a full day tour for more time on the beach because the half day tour did not give us enough time to enjoy the beach. We were told we could only take pictures but we did nit have the time to go in the water which was slightly disappointing as Macao Beach was beautiful. However all in all it was a very enjoyable tour. We loved the horse back riding, getting to try rolling cigars and seeing the local way of life.

Highly recommend!!! - Great excursion! George was great as was our driver Freddie! Friendly, professional, courteous, very knowledgable of Punta Cana! A lot of stops to see different parts of Punta Cana in 1/2 day! I loved that we didn’t spend too much time in one place! The amount of time spent at each stop was perfect! Very informative and great way to see different parts of Punta Cana without overloading you and spending entire day away from beach! It was perfect!

Half day Punta Cana tour - The best part of this experience is going to the locals home to see how they survive on DR due to plantation. We saw one of the biggest church on the island so a bit of history there. Making of tobacco was also good.
The only disappointment was not travelling in the truck as advertised. So be well aware with this company if you book the tour through them.
