Santo Domingo Tour by Viva

4.5/5
4 reviews

This tour lets you split your time between Santo Domingo's centuries-old colonial zone and its' modern shopping hub. You'll discover the Dominican capital's UNESCO-listed sights, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, then hit the city's marble-tiled high street on Calle El Conde to search for souvenirs.

When we reach Santo Domingo, all the top attractions are on the cards. You'll explore the colonial zone's wealth of Spanish-era architecture with cobbled streets leading to plazas, palaces, churches and castles. The sheer number of historical monuments meant its declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site was a mere formality.

There's also a visit to the 500-year-old gothic cathedral – the oldest in the Americas – and a typical Dominican lunch at a local restaurant. After your meal, there's free time to stroll along the pedestrianized Calle El Conde, head to the Plaza España and see the Alcazar de Colon – the palace where Columbus's son lived.

    It was very organised and informative. I have done this excursion twice now. The caves were beautiful, the guide was very knowledgeable. The only thing I personally didn't like is the time spent at the shop they took us to. I understand that the locals earn their money by selling to tourists through such excursions, but we spent over half an hour in a souvenir shop where prices were higher than other shops, and we had 1 hour free time to walk. We could have had more time walking and exploring.

    The tour was interesting and the caves were great. It was tiring and the food at the lunch stop was just ok but the tour guide Wellington was excellent and very helpful.

    The guide was very good but there were too many people on it and he had to say everything in 3 languages. Would have liked to learn more about the country. Excellent stops in the morning. The lunch was dreadful and the serving staff were surly. We were seated in the kitchen and treated with disdain. A pity as potentially this would have been an excellent tour. Few people on it in a maximum of 2 languages with a better choice of lunch venue.
