Hello, we could not participate in this activity because there was a disagreement on the schedule at the meeting point. It's a shame because this visit must be interesting ... however, we put 5 * because the situation was taken into consideration immediately and by the company Go excursion and Get Your Guide in person where we were able to obtain a full refund with good obviously recommendations that we gave to the people who organize this excursion to prevent this from happening again. Again, Get Your Guide is very serious, it's not the first time we've booked with GYG and we've always been very satisfied! We will continue…thanks.

The guide, a very capable person, spoke in 4 languages, he informed us all about the destination throughout the excursion regardless of the country we came from. Lunch was delicious and we were able to enjoy a typical Dominican dance show. Transport very comfortable with air conditioning.
