What a fabulous day! Robert was wonderful -- he shared in-depth knowledge, and gracefully answered all my questions. The caves were my favorite, and am glad the natural ecosystem is being protected. I learned so much about the Taino people and their rich cultural heritage. The drive along the coast and through the country was remarkable, and I enjoyed a lovely riverside lunch with authentic local cuisine.

Alex was amazing. I was only in Dominican Republic for 4 days for a conference but I wanted to get a real sense of the island and he delivered and more. From pick up at hotel, to seeing an amazing cave, horseback riding, purchasing amber jewelry a detailed history about it, to swimming in the Caribbean and cacao shopping and authentic lunch I had the most amazing day. Very grateful that I chose this tour. Alex was super knowledgeable and historical aspect of the entire trip. I highly recommend it.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR...GO! For me the treat started with conversations while riding with thoroughly English-proficient & BILINGUAL Alex, who I learned lived in the states from his pre-adolescence till a decade ago. Kind, considerate, charming and friendly he is knowledgeable and willing to engage one's wonderings and interests. His talk is informative as well as entertaining. That's just the guide! THE CAVERN Experience is magnificent and on its walls are mysterious and intriguing pictographs left by the indigenous Tainos... whose fascinating culture is explored later in the trip at a local archaeological museum ...the subterranean lake is a thing of beauty. The guide THERE is versed in geology and the lore of the Tainos. He later takes one above passing gorgeous plant life and the fascinating wildlife sanctuary featuring free-roaming rhinoceros IGUANAS. Horseback trail is optional (I opted not to). Later we went to lunch with typical Dominican cuisine (which mightve been a bit more typical as it was sorely missing beans for the rice!) BUT ALEX ASSURES this place might not be on their itinerary next time. Cannot deny it was VERY TASTY. LATER we visited a beautifully designed cultural center set on the palisades along the Chavon River. There we visited the Archaelogy museum.with Taino artifacts. DO NOT GO ON A SUNDAY if you looked forward to cultural center's artisan demonstrations (it was closed) I wasn't heartbroken because the grounds around the closed buildings were gorgeous especially the plant life and a Greco-Roman style amphitheater. Riding past the posh country club homes of the Elite who call CASA DE CAMPO home (seasonally) we go to the exclusive beach. Clean, quiet and serene... with lots of amenities, and swimming pools... the Caribbean beach sand powdery & the water calm, crystaline and tepid.... made a perfect CHERRY ON TOP for a great day!

Alex our guide was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed ever second. The caves are amazing. The whole tour was exactly what we wanted. I would do it again and highly recommend to anyone who wants a mixed bag of a day. Ending up with a final relax on the beach.
