    Excursion non effectuée, car la aussi pas de communication de leurs. J'avais réserver à une date précise et on vous change la date sans vous prévenir. Heureusement quel'n s'est renseigné nous pour la reprogrammer. Et la communication ne fonctionne pas, car à l'hôtel, on nous indique le mauvais lobby pour faire le pick-up, donc pas d'excursion. A ce jour plus de nouvelle de celle-ci et toujours pas de remboursement .

    This was a disappointing tour. It was falsely advertised. During lunch in the description ( and the reason why we chose this instead of other similar cheaper trips) was because it said it included lunch with red or white wine. This however was not true and the when we showed the description to the guide and the restaurant owner they said they have never ever included the drink so was falsely advertising the trip and they were not responsible for this. Additionally the tour guide was not open for questions during the tour. Overall not the best experience.

    The Santo Domingo tour was good. We visited a couple museums that explained colonization by the spanish and received a good history lesson on the area. One of the reasons for signing up on this tour and not one of the other Santo Domino options was the trip to Cueva tres ojos (3 eyes cave). We did not stop at this area. I was very disappointed.
