If you care about walking in the real neighborhoods of DR, without being afraid, accidental offending the people who live here, take this tour. More than anything else, the conversation with Mike was the highlight of the tour for me

The real DR

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour was absolutely amazing, we arrived early to the pick up start & ed picked us up early so we didn't have to wait, he gave us the full experience of Santo Domingo the good and the bad , I got to see soo much it was sad to see but also a blessing to see and just made me appreciate life and what I have more. Him and his team worker were both amazing guys who made me and my sister feel super safe and guided us through the whole tour, we got to eat some delicious dominican desserts and drink my fav beer presidente , got to explore the capital and meet people that were so nice and welcoming. I loved every second of this tour it felt so real and authentic and organic. I highly recommend this tour because you will get to see so much and learn so much and really see the real DR.

A truly authentic tour of Santo Domingo

Published on Oct, 2024

A unique tour of the authentic side of Santo Domingo. This was a really well planned out, interesting and fun tour. I saw parts of the city and met people I would not normally have done. If you want to do something different and learn about the Dominican way of life, this tour is a must. The guides were fantastic, so friendly and clearly passionate about their neighbourhood.
