Live in Santo Domingo

Explore the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo is more than to immerse yourself in history, it is to live it

Awful! Provider never arrived despite calling and texting multiple times. Do not use Viator. Was planning to book a tour in Mexico City in October and will no longer use this site.

Cancelled day of tour with bogus excuse

We booked this trip and paid over $400 for it. Confirmed with the tour company that pickup would be at our hotel at 8:30am on the day. Received a request to cancel ‘due to weather’ the day of the tour. This day happened to be the most beautiful weather of the whole week. Clear blue skies, gorgeous sunshine. This company really let us down and then was unreachable by phone, text or in app messenger.

Operator response

We sincerely regret that you were not satisfied with the cancellation of your tour. However, I would like to clarify that the decision was made after thoroughly reviewing the weather forecasts, which indicated rainy conditions for the day of your excursion. In the days leading up to your tour, the weather was unstable, which we’re sure you noticed during your stay in the country, and the forecast remained consistent with rain. This tour, which is mostly conducted on foot around the city, is not ideal when the weather conditions are unfavorable, as rain can significantly affect the experience and pose safety risks. We understand that such inconveniences can be frustrating, but we always prioritize the safety and comfort of our travelers. As for your payment, it’s irrelevant to mention, as we would like to reiterate that a full refund was issued as it should be, regardless of the cost of the activity. We hope you understand that sometimes nature is beyond our control, but our commitment to the quality of the experience remains unwavering. Thank you for your understanding.

Great Tour!

Freddy and Brian were great tour guides; they handled all transportation, tickets, etc; so my wife and I could simply relax and enjoy the tour. Freddy and Brian are also very knowledgable and enthusiastic in sharing the history of the Dominican Republic.

Awesome experience

Our guide Freddy and driver Bryan picked us up from our hotel and showed us so many attractions in Santo Domingo. They made sure we had water and stayed hydrated and also took lots of pictures. Freddy bought bread for my girlfriend and I to feed the fish at the caves. He was the only guide there that did that, which made our tour unique. He was also very informative and his English was quite good. Thank you Freddy and Bryan

A worthwhile afternoon in Santo Domingo

MrT geared the trip to my interests and limitations.. we did both history and natural resources. He picked me up on and dropped me off where I wanted. And there were plenty of bathroom stops. I am 80 in good shape. His English is good.

Exceptional tour guide with a lot of historical knowledge

The tour guide was great! Clearly dominated the history of the dominican republic, as if almost a historian. The tour felt super complete. He was able to get u expedited entry almost everywhere. We were pleasantly surprised and had such a great time. Would recommend to anyone doing santo domingo in one day.

The Real Santo Domingo

Phenomenal tour! We saw the Tres Ojos, the Presidential Palace, Christopher Colombia final Reston place, Zonia Colonia...and so much more. It was a private tour with just my daughter and myself. Our guide provided water, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes. Masks were on at all time. He answered every question and gave us tips on negotiating with vendors. Phenomenal!
