    AgLa Calle Las Damas was the first street in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and America.

    AgEl Parque Colón is one of the parks or historical squares of the Colonial City of Santo Domingo, which served as the main party center of the society of the colonial era. Currently the Parque Colón is used as the main center for cultural activities and is also part of the Santo Domingo World Heritage Site. This was the main entertainment center for the inhabitants of the time, since it gave life and splendor to the town of La Isabela, and its surroundings. The name of Plaza Mayor was given in honor of the Major Commander of the order of Nicolás de Ovando, who arrived in Santo Domingo in 1502. It owed its name even more, since this was in charge of moving the city to the western part of the Ozama River.

The Alcázar de Colón was built between 1511 and 1514, following the influences of the existing one in Mancera de Abajo, in Salamanca, Spain, of which ruins are still preserved. The name of the architect who carried out the building is unknown. Mostly Mudejar Gothic style.

    10 minutes

  • Panteon Nacional

    Agre The building was one of the last buildings built by the Spanish on Dominican soil. The date of the beginning of its construction is not known with certainty but some historians suppose that it was between the years 1714 and 1755 and it is attributed to Jerónimo Quezada y Garçon. It originally served as a church of the Jesuit order. Here the Jesuit priests gave mass with their backs to the congregation so that everyone, including the priests, would face the figure of Jesus Christ and the altar. The National Pantheon has around 36 empty spaces to house future heroes. There is also an empty space without a plaque, dedicated to the unknown soldier. There is a permanent Honor Guard, made up of members of the Presidential Guard, in full dress, without moving a single muscle. One of them makes a solemn walk around the central aisle, which runs from the main entrance to just in front of the main altar.

My Day

Published on Dec, 2024

A very interesting day learned a lot but an 8hr day was too much for me next time a half day tour would have been better.

I enjoyed it!

As a person who loves history the tour served it's purpose. If you are and English speaker be patient, with your tour guide. Ours spoke English well but would at times forget to translate for us. The buffet provided was so good! Bring a book for the ride to SD, it's lengthy. I would definitely recommend.

Great tour

I was very concerned about this trip based on previous reviews. However, our party of 6 had a great time. There were 3 other people on the tour First it is a cultural tour, lots of walking. The caves were super cool. The sites were amazing and the people were super friendly. Our tour guide Juan Carlos was absolutely fantastic . He is very knowledgeable about his city. The lunch includes was one of the best we had amongst all the other tours this week. Our driver Manual was polite and courteous. He played old school r and b and provided us with water and bathroom breaks. I do advise you bring good walking shoes, water and snacks. It's a long day. The shopping was limited to the vendors at the caves and one store. We were disappointed there werent more places. Overall our tour was great I hope everyone going forward have a great experience. We started early at 7:05an pickup from the hotel and return at 6pm. The ride is 2hr to Santo Domingo so ride with a empty bladder lol.
