Nice tour of Colonial Santo Domingo

Kevin our guide and Frandy our driver were super. Always returned to the coach ready for us with aircon. Kevin was very knowledgeable and was a great tour guide who spoke multiple languages to meet the needs of all guests. Lunch was at a nice restaurant with local food.

Without a doubt, I would do it again

Highly recommended. Clear and direct explanations, without confusion. The guide named Darius, an excellent person, made the heat in the city more pleasant. The driver's driving was very good. His name is Enrique
