Overall rating

Excellent! Our driver & guide, Tao, was super helpful, fun & knowledgeable. We did so much on this trip & got to see real Dominican being in the mountains, the coffee and cocoa tasting. There a waterfall and river when you have lunch. Lunch was super tasty and so filling! Take some pesos & dollars as you'll want to buy the organic coffee, cocoa and sugar cane. Plus, giving tips is well worth it on this trip, the team have gone above & beyond. So glad I went!!

I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a real authentic Dominican experience. The tour guides were attentive and friendly. I enjoyed driving through the Dominican village to see how the locals live. After the tour, we were treated to some home cooked local food.

Everything was great! Excellent treatment. I was terrified of riding a horse and they made sure I was safe and walked right by my side. The best part was the food at the end.

Superb. A fun day, a dynamic and very professional team. A perfect day for adventure lovers.

Very pleasant experience! The people were very helpful and understanding.
