    Unfortunately we are unable to review your excursion, due to rhe driver not picking us up. We were told to be out front at 0810, we were there at 0750. We saw 2 busses that looked like the one on your page go past our hotel. We waited until 0840 and then we requested a full refund. We know that it was not a private tour, but we should have been told that we would wait up to 30 minutes or longer to be picked up. If we would have been given that information we would not have booked it.

    It went 2 hours longer than we were told. Made unnecessary stops. Could not understand the guide The cigar factory was good. We basically rode a bus for 7 hours. Was the worst excursion we have taken. Was not worth the money.

    All of it was alright but we did one with tui in 2018 which more time was spent on the plantation showing us how coffee and chocolate is done and giving everyone a chance at grinding the coffee and chocolate. Everything was very rushed on this trip plus we didn’t get to do the beach photo stop

    We enjoyed travelling around the Dominican Republic and seeing some of the countryside and towns. However, the guide gave very brief descriptions when we stopped. No information while we were travelling as to where we were and what was around.

    Everything was enjoyable and educational however the pot holes in the road and the speed bumps were excessive.
