This was a well done museum tour walk thru with guide (for free- but tip at the end). Our guide was very nice and spoke well in English. She had only been working there a few months but seemed interested in what she was teaching us. The exhbits are small and it is a quick tour but completely important when traveling in the DR to understand the important of General Luperon. It was clean, air conditioned, and inexpensive. Do it!

We decided to take a taxi guided tour off the cruise and were so happy we did. Our guide brought us to the famous rum factory where we were able to take a tour with a group. We started in their liquor store while we waited to join others for the tour. They had popsicles for $1 w/o liquor and $2 with. Yes!!! We then went for a tour of the factory where we learned the history of rum and got to try their famous island rum. It was so smooth you didn't need a chaser. Their prices are amazing and we got to learn more about the island and its heritage.

Dominican Amber Museum

This two-story Victorian museum holds the largest collection of amber in the world.

Reviewed By TraceyN873 - London, Canada

We were allowed entry for free as the bottom gift shop and outside was under renovation. The tour guide was great and I would like to go back when I return to the area. It is a good idea if you are looking for real amber to buy and see some really great displays of amber
