Santo Domingo is the oldest city in the Americas — and most visitors only scratch the surface. Not with us.
We pick you up directly at your Punta Cana hotel and handle every detail. Once you're on your way, you'll receive a WhatsApp message from our team confirming your pickup and sharing a direct contact number — so if you need anything during the drive, we're just a message away. No language barriers, no stress.
Once in Santo Domingo, your certified bilingual guide takes you through it all: underground lakes at Tres Ojos, the Columbus Lighthouse, Alcázar de Colón, and the cobblestone streets of the UNESCO Colonial Zone. Chocolate tasting included.
