★★★★☆

The excursion to Santo Domingo was excellent! The tour guide was very knowledge of the history and was very nice! At the end of the tour, he bought all of us some yuca bread and local cheese to try, local rum for the adults (coke for the kids), and some sweet coconut dessert to try. The trip was a very long trip since it was from Punta Cana but everything was on time. During some parts of it, it was raining heavy, but there were umbrellas prepared for everyone. The buffet lunch was very good too! We had kids from 5-11 years of age on this excursion and they all enjoyed it. It may be a long day for them! Overall definitely a good excursion to learn about the history of Dominican Republic.

Last month we booked a day trip to Santo Domingo from Punta Cana through Punta Cana Tours. Overall we were delighted with the way the day went. It was a long day but we knew to expect that. We were picked up from our hotel very early in the morning. We were the last pick up stop (Punta Cana Hard Rock Hotel) which also meant we were the first to be dropped off in the evening. Both ways we stopped at a small food and souvenir market which was very helpful as they also had clean toilets. You were under no pressure whatsoever to make any purchases although most people did pick up a drink and snack. We made a few different stops to visit the historical attractions as listed on the itinerary all of which were very interesting. The last stop was in the centre of Santo Domingo. One of the requirements of our trip was that we could visit the Hard Rock Cafe in Santo Domingo and the cathedral is opposite it. After our little group had been to the cathedral there was a free 45 minutes to wander and do souvenir shopping so we used this time to make our cafe visit. Our guide was fantastic. He spoke 4 different languages so everyone in the group could understand – English, Spanish, Italian and French. The small coach was air-conditioned and as a comfortable as it could be on the Dominican Republic roads! Overall from initial enquiry to the day of our trip the communication from punta cana tours was great and we would have no hesitation in recommending them. Visiting from London, UK

Totally as good as it gets when it comes to service! Was in Punta Cana on a convention for work last weekend and we used this service from the airport to our hotel. The bus was spacious, clean, and and the driver was very informative. We were treated like kings and queens! I can't say enough good things about Punta Cana Tour Operators. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone traveling to the Punta Cana area with a group. Thanks guys!!!

The scenery along the drive from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo alone was almost worth trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided narratives in both Spanish and English. He provided a running commentary on the sites and features of the countryside during the drive, as well as detailed histories of the specific sites visited in Santo Domingo. The van we rode in was comfortable, and the driver safe. Be prepared to spend a little money along the way at the tourist shops.
