Excellent experience

Published on Mar, 2019

The Higuey Cultural Tour from Punta Cana was very educational. The guide Antonio was knowledgable, kind, and provided a wonderful experience. Elvis our driver was very safe. The tour was as advertised. We highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about the culture of the Dominican Republic. It was a highlight of our vacation.

Excellent Tour!

Published on Mar, 2019

Learned so much culture and history. Antonio, the tour guide was so personable and answered all questions we had. We had an air conditioned van. Provided cold water and soda. I would recommend this to anyone!

Simply Incredible!

Booked this when we were staying at the Excellence in Punta Cana. Our driver was Victor & our tour guide was Antonio. Both were amazing!! I can't say enough wonderful things about our "cultural" tour. We have even looked at coming back in the future to bring our children to Punta Cana. Everything about this excursion was AWESOME!! Thank you so much!

Higuey Tour - by RSH

Published on Jul, 2018

This was a wonderful tour for adults. Had fabulous tour guide, Antonio. We toured a plantation - very interesting. He told us about every little town we went threw. Leared a lot This is a excellent tour for adults. We had an outstanding tour guide, Antonio. The plantation part of The tour was great. He told us about every town and the people who lived there. His knowledge of Punta Cana part of the Dominican Republic was outstanding. We also had a guide at the Very large and unusual Church in Higuey. He was very good. Our bus was outstanding and the driver was great. Well worth the money.

Fantastic day trip to Higuey

Published on May, 2018

This trip was incredible, and it was short only lasting 5 hours from start to finish, so we didn't feel like we lost a whole day of sun. The trip starts with a visit to a museum where you learn about the impressive church then you tour two churches. I went to school and studied religion so I loved this part. Next you go to a local market where you really get to see what it's like to live in Higuey. The last stop is a cigar factory where you can buy hand rolled cigars and see how they're made. Just a great day, our guides were Manuel and Juan and they were fantasic, always had answers to questions and were so nice. Our tour was run in 3 languages and it didn't seem like anyone felt left out. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see Higuey
