Overview

This trip is particularly for you if you are visiting Santo Domingo for the first time! Enjoy a two-hour action-packed introduction to Dominican Republic's buzzing capital, America's oldest settlement. As the island's contemporary face with over two million inhabitants, Santo Domingo has much more to offer than its intriguing colonial history.

Great Introductory Tour

Published on Jan, 2024

This was a great tour, the guide Frances was very knowledgeable and fun. I would recommend doing this at the beginning of your trip to Santo Domingo because you learn a lot about the lesser-known aspects of the culture and the city. It sets you up with ideas for what to do / see in the remainder of your time. Highly recommended.

Great Sto. Domingo walking tour.

Excellent tour. We learned a lot about Santo Domingo and Dominican culture. In our group, there were people that only spoke Spanish and others only in English. Our tour guide did a great job going between both languages.

Great

nice walking tour!!

Published on Jun, 2023

I enjoy walking tours, so was happy to find this tour through the colonial part of the city! Frances was a wonderful guide who brought us to sights we would otherwise not have seen, including the one small hill in the city. We were a small group - my husband had to cancel last minute, so it was just my daughter and I.

Nice Addition

Published on Feb, 2023

We had a great tour with Frances. This two hour tour was a nice compliment to the history and major tourist attractions in the Zona Colonia with more emphasis on the neighborhoods and the people who live and have lived there.
