It was such a nice experience! Everything was well organized. I loved it

A bit of everything
SoloGirlfromTampa, 12-09-2021
This was a great experience. You get to see a bit of everything which is great! It takes a bit to get going because of picking up groups from different locations but that didn’t bother me. I was a bit nervous since I was traveling alone and don’t speak Spanish but the driver was great and Leo the tour guide was AMAZING at explaining in English and Spanish! Leo certainly made this trip amazing. We got to see Los 3 Ojos, the Columbus Lighthouse and House, a cathedral, the president’s house, walk the streets in Santo Domingo, souvenir shop, a few others I’m sure I’m forgetting and have lunch (included). We did have to move a bit quickly so that we could see everything but it wasn’t rushed. It’s a very long day because of the ride to and from Santo Domingo so I would suggest packing snacks/drinks (or grab some at the gas station main meeting point) and dressing comfortably. I was picked up at 7:20 and returned to my hotel around 6:20. Awesome awesome experience!!
Great Tour guide Leo and driver. Very compassionate.

The guide Leo was excelente and so was the driver! He opened doors for me and bought me a snack and was really cool with me. The driver also share his cola with me. Very generous of them. I’m just sad I had to learn about Christopher Columbus. I’ve heard enough about him my entire life. Lol.
Over all, a very great tour. Nice shopping and good food.

Dynamic tour.
Well informed guide. All the time explaining about everything in Spanish and English.
First stop for our bus was to buy magnets 7 for 10$, have cash with you.
Cool spots of the city.
It was worth it because you dont need to worry about organizing, eating, thinking about what sightseeings to check etc. Everything is well planned but might be a bit fast for some people. If you want more time to explore the center yourself maybe don't enter in the main cathedral, just talk to your guide and set an appointment to gather again.

Lunch, beautiful views and architectures and history

We visited three eyes National Park and Santo Domingo, lovely and beautiful old towns with magnificent cathedral, which was built in 1504 and the first Cathedral in the entire America Continent. Like the lunch place with love court yard and ancient Spanish style atmosphere. Thanks verbally, experienced tour guide and efficient day tour schedule, I will rate 9 out of 10.
The town not a pretty sight.

We booked this tour through the hotel excursions. It was $75.00 USD. It's a full day, lunch is included.
On our way to Santo Domingo, all along the sides of the roads are totally disgusting. Tons of garbage everywhere. Animals feeding themselves in the garbage. NEVER saw so many in a town where everyone can see. Definitely not a pretty sight.
Be prepared to walk a lot. The sights are beautiful, the cathedral, museum etc. You get some time for shopping. Lunch was very good.
We came back at the hotel around 4:45pm.

Bare basic experience
Abhay_K, 16-04-2022
The pickup was at 7am and apparently had to walk out of the resort to be picked up. We skipped breakfast as it starts at 7am. Prior conversations indicated a breakfast break some place. That did not happen. We were shuffled to a different vehicle to match the number of the travellers.
The guide met us at the Three Eyes Park, we did not see all 3 water bodies, just 1, 3 and for a dollar more, 4. There is a lot of climbing down and up, so if you cannot do it, this is not for u.
The guide apparently spoke English, but we had minimal info and conversations with him. He spoke in Spanish way more and was continuously recording something of his own.
Taking around common tourist areas as usual, the main places had audio tours.
There was no water bottles or anything on the bus, so we had to ask for a stop earlier.
Lunch was simple at a clean place, not for vegetarians though.
We were obviously walked around "recommended" gift shops and we had to bargain like mad.
It wasn't a bad experience but could have been better.

I'd say that it was an average experience

The most memorable attraction was Los 3 Ojos. We felt like we're in a rush all the time, we saw a lot of interesting things only from the car windows. Our guide had an below medium english, a lot of explanations we're in spanish, but only some words in english. Other than that, lunch was okay, we tried some really interesting ice cream. I don't know, some moments we're fun, but most of the times we just wanted to be finished and go home.
