Get a real taste of Caribbean culture, with this private half-day bus tour around the Dominican Republic. An experience exclusively for you and your party, you'll visit remote villages and markets, while learning all about local produce and history.

Your adventure kicks off as your guide regales you with the history of the island while we journey through cattle grazing lands and visit a rice plantation. You'll also visit a small rural school to meet its students. Check out the views of the Cordillera Oriental mountains before arriving at a plantation for a tour on the production of coffee, cocoa and more.

It's then on to Higuey, to see the famous Altagracia Basilica – a pilgrimage site because of its miraculous image of Our Lady – and wander around the market. There's also a visit to a cigar factory and sugarcane fields, too.

Overall for price, it was a great few hours away from the hotel environment, our host Daniel was very informative and gave us much information on the local Dominican surroundings. A chilled out few hours

The guides and the driver were very friendly, we felt looked after and Junus was extremely knowledgeable, first time in DR and it helped to have his knowledge to learn more about the country

The perfect trip for those looking to get a feel for the DR. We had a private tour, which we would absolutely recommend - we had an unforgettable experience which whilst planned, was also spontaneous with stops along the way. The guides and driver were fantastic in their knowledge and enthusiasm. We felt safe, welcomed and informed - we learnt a lot. For those actually wanting to see the country and not just stay in the resort this is an absolute must. Be prepared to drink lots of rum as well!
