For a real taste of Caribbean culture, look no further than this full day bus tour around the Dominican Republic. You'll visit remote villages while learning all about local produce and history.

The adventure kicks off as your guide regales you with the history of the island while we journey through cattle grazing lands and rice fields. You'll drive by a typical rural school, on route to tour some of the island's coffee, cocoa and sugar cane plantations.

Head on to Higuey, and you'll see the famous Altagracia Basilica – a pilgrimage site because of its miraculous image of Our Lady – before a wander around the bustling market. Check out the views of the Cordillera Oriental mountains before we round off with a beach stop and lunch in a local restaurant.

Absolutely fabulous trip, the guide Mamma Gina is knowledgeable and has the most wonderful personality. She has you smiling from the minute you set foot on the bus until you get off!!! Loved the trip thank you

It was wonderful fun crazy day. One of the best trips I have ever had. Learnt about the island and its culture, whilst having a fast paced day that provided many memories for years to come. Highly recomended.

Amazing from start to finish, very entertaining, gina had so much knowledge of the island my family loved it.

Guide was lovely friendly and helpful. As were her assistant and driver

It was very bias to the French customers, leaving the few English customers feeling a bit neglected. The content of the “safari” could have been covered in half the time, rather than driving the same roads several times. As for visiting a coconut factory where we were lead to believe we’d see coconuts being processed into all manner of items, it turned into yet another sales pitch for commission Why they felt they needed to take us to a beach, we’re staying at beach resorts!

All the locations except The market because we are not going to cook. The second is the rice field
