This trip is particularly for you if you are visiting Santo Domingo for the first time! Enjoy a three-hour action-packed introduction to Dominican Republic's buzzing capital, America's oldest settlement. As the island's contemporary face with over two million inhabitants, Santo Domingo has much more to offer than its intriguing colonial history.

When I started planning our honeymoon trip, I wanted to include a true cultural experience, in our plans. We had reservations at a very nice all inclusive resort in Punta Cana, but I know (from experience) these type places actually kind of shield you from the true flavor, culture and experience of the country they are supposed to represent. So, I set out to find an experienced and highly regarded local guide. Using the internet and friending several people on FB, I found several people that had wonderful experiences with Mr. Jose. After contacting and discussing what I was looking for myself and Wife to experience, I felt I could not go wrong. Well, I was SO right. Jose is a fine gentleman and true steward of his fine country. His knowledge and passion is second to none. We only had a day to go to the city and he utilized every second of our day to the fullest! He gifted me with exactly what I had asked him to provide, a true taste of The Dominican Republic. The city, the rich colonial history, the forest, a waterfall (that we had all to our selves), a wonderful little rural town (where we dined on very authentic, amazing food with locals), some freshly prepared milk candy that was to die for and all the history and local flavor that we could soak in, within the 12 hours we spent together. We so enjoyed ourselves that I am already planning to bring my 17 year old stepson and stay in the city, so we have more time to soak up the beautiful Dominican culture. That day was truly one of the most memorable I've ever had traveling and to top it all off, we gained a new friend. Muchos gracias amigo, Brian K Pinsonat & Angela T Pinsonat Hope to see you soon!

The history of the colonial era is told mostly from a Spanish Latino perspective, dissociating the importance and significant contributions of black-Afro-descendant culture to the Dominican Republic, almost leaving an empty bias on the resistance of the African diasporas on the island. I intend to provide a historical look at what happened during the period of slavery in addition to the current view of the Dominican and its identity or not corresponding to the Afro heritage.

I booked Edwin Tejera to pick us up from the airport and bring us to Emotions. Our Travel dates: April 17th - May 1st, 2021. Edwin was there at the airport waiting for us which was a huge relief knowing our ride was there for us. Edwin also had a cold cerveza for me and a cold bottle of water for my spouse which was very refreshing after a long plane ride. His vehicle is in very good condition as in like new...... I highly recommend using Edwin because he was prompt, courteous and a very nice guy. So additionally I used his services to bring us to The Residence Suites at LifeStyle Cofressi beach for our next week. On the way I asked if he could find me some Dominican cigars so he took me to the Cigar Factory downtown Puerto Plata where we were greeted warmly and shown the various tobacco's from several countries. We continued on to Lifestyle where we enjoyed an additional 7 wonderful days. I also contracted him to pickup my daughter and son from the airport and bring them to the resort. And to follow up I had him pick us up and bring us back to the airport. Edwin speaks very good english and is very capable of transporting you to any excursion or other venues. He answered all of my questions and I will surely us his service every time I visit the Dominican Republic. Thank you Edwin for your excellent hospitality. My Best regards to you.

Went on this excursion for my birthday on March 13/20 looking to have a fun time. It went well beyond just the adrenaline rush of driving these powerful machines but also educational. You get a small glimpse of the DR outside the gates of the lush resorts. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend if you plan to visit Puerto Plata. Junior was our guide and he was awesome! Great job!
