Excelente excursión en grupo reducido con niños: José, un guía estupendo Hicimos la excursión en grupo reducido con nuestros hijos de 3 y 8 años y ha estado muy bien. Destacar al guía, José, que ha sido muy simpático y amable durante todo el tour, y que en el vehículo tenían una silla de niño para el pequeño de 3 años. Nos llevaron primero al parque de los Tres Ojos, donde vimos los cenotes, y luego al Palacio Presidencial, aunque es una pena que solo se pueda ver desde fuera y con una reja de por medio. Después bajamos a la avenida George Washington, el llamado malecón de Santo Domingo, donde te puedes hacer una foto con el típico corazón azul con las siglas SD. Mientras tanto, el guía va explicando cosas de la ciudad. Luego fuimos a comer a un sitio pequeño pero muy rico llamado Tornasol. El buffet tenía poca variedad, pero lo que había estaba muy bueno. De beber solo incluían agua y zumo, y de postre pusieron flan. En general, muy bueno. Después vimos un cine colonial 4D. No está mal, aunque lo mejor es la historia que cuentan, muy interesante; los efectos son normalitos. De ahí fuimos a la catedral de Santo Domingo, muy bonita, no la mejor que he visto, pero sí la más antigua de América, y eso se nota en el encanto. Luego al Panteón Nacional, que también estuvo muy bien: vimos el muro desde el que disparaban cuando llegó Drake y donde vivió el hermano de Colón. Finalmente probamos mamajuana en la típica tienda, pensada para que acabes comprando algo. Aunque hay tiendas de souvenirs de la zona que aceptan tarjeta, en esta en concreto no, lo cual es una faena. Nos dejaron 30 minutos paseando por las calles (todo muy bonito, con el encanto de Santo Domingo) y acabamos en una tienda de chocolate para probar algo de chocolate y un té de chocolate que estaba muy bueno. Aquí sí aceptaban tarjeta, por suerte. Después, vuelta al hotel. Al ser grupo reducido, en furgoneta, todo se lleva muy bien. Tanto el guía como el conductor fueron muy amables. Con niños, aunque es un día largo, se lleva bien; al menos los nuestros lo pasaron genial, incluso en los cenotes, donde hay que subir y bajar un montón de escaleras. Se me olvidaba: el pickup y dropoff, genial. Nos recogieron en el hotel Bávaro Barceló Palace y nos dejaron de vuelta ahí. Todo muy bien organizado y comunicado por WhatsApp. Totalmente recomendable. Superó nuestras expectativas.

It’s mainly a walking... It’s mainly a walking tour and a very long and full day. If you are a short vacation, recommend skipping this tour.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Sonia. We appreciate your perspective and understand that dedicating a full day to an excursion can be an important consideration, particularly when visiting Punta Cana for a shorter vacation. For additional context, this experience is highlighted in both the title and product description as a full-day tour from Punta Cana to Santo Domingo. Depending on hotel location and traffic conditions, the journey can take approximately three hours each way, and the itinerary includes considerable walking while exploring the historic Colonial Zone and other attractions. We also provide information prior to departure to help guests prepare for the day, including recommendations to wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. This experience is intentionally designed for travelers who want to dedicate a full day to discovering the history and culture of Santo Domingo, and we understand that it may not be the right fit for every travel style. At Xcape Tours, we take all guest feedback seriously. Even when an aspect of the experience is communicated in advance, feedback like yours helps us evaluate how we can make that information even clearer and continue improving both our service and pre-tour communication. Thank you again for traveling with us and for helping us improve the experience for future guests. Kind regards from Xcape Tours.

Highly recommend! Highly recommend! The communication was key-very responsive and on point. The driver was nice, safe and patient. Our guide was very informative and considerate of our needs. I would suggest the private guided tour-it was on our time and a great spacious air conditioned vehicle.

An Unforgettable Santo Domingo Experience with Xcape Tours Our trip to Santo Domingo was an absolutely exhilarating experience! We booked a small-group tour with Xcape Tours, and from start to finish, everything was superb. Our driver, Miguel, was pleasant, patient, and accommodating to everyone in the group. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by José, whose knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. He is truly an excellent tour guide! We had the opportunity to visit some incredible places throughout Santo Domingo, and each stop gave us greater insight into the rich history, culture, and heritage of the Dominican Republic. José did an amazing job bringing the history to life with his knowledge and storytelling, making each location even more meaningful. And the food was absolutely delicious! We had the opportunity to enjoy true Dominican cuisine, and every dish was full of authentic flavors that gave us an even deeper appreciation for the Dominican culture. Our experience with Xcape Tours was exceptional, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment—from the beautiful sights and fascinating history to the amazing food and wonderful hospitality. Miguel and José truly helped make our trip special. We highly recommend Xcape Tours to anyone looking for an authentic, informative, and unforgettable Dominican experience. We can’t wait to book another adventure with them!

The best for a quick tour of Santo Domingo. Very good experience and ideal for those who don't know it; they include places that show the ancient and current culture. Driver and guides were super friendly. I didn't like that even though we didn't return to Punta Cana there was no difference in the fare, and they charged us extra beforehand for picking us up in Cap Cana. They also didn't want to drop us off at the hotel in Santo Domingo.

Muchas gracias, Noiby, por su comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron de la experiencia y que destacaron la amabilidad de nuestro conductor y guías. Nos gustaría aclarar algunos puntos importantes. El suplemento correspondiente a recogidas en Cap Cana está informado en nuestra publicación en varios lugares antes de completar la reserva, ya que esta ubicación se encuentra fuera de nuestra zona regular de recogida. La modalidad reservada fue un tour compartido y no un servicio de tour y transporte privado. Esto significa que operamos bajo un itinerario, horarios y ruta establecidos para todos los participantes. Aunque hacemos todo lo posible por atender solicitudes especiales, no podemos realizar cambios individuales que retrasen o modifiquen la experiencia contratada por el resto del grupo, incluyendo desviaciones de ruta para dejar clientes en hoteles distintos en Santo Domingo.
Asimismo, el precio corresponde al tour completo reservado. La decisión de finalizar la experiencia en Santo Domingo y no utilizar el transporte de regreso a Punta Cana no modifica el precio de la reserva debido a que nuestro costo operativo es el mismo. Para viajeros que necesitan puntos de recogida o regreso personalizados, modificaciones de ruta o mayor control sobre el itinerario, recomendamos reservar nuestra modalidad privada, específicamente diseñada para ofrecer ese nivel de flexibilidad. Agradecemos sus comentarios y nos complace saber que, en términos generales, disfrutaron de la experiencia con Xcape Tours.

Great Excursion and Excellent Guide. It was a very good, exceptional experience. Our guide Héctor always made us feel at home. My wife and I are Cuban, and we had the opportunity to talk and learn about the history of the Dominican Republic and its ties to Cuba. It was a nice day.

It was great! There wasn't much explaining about the buggy at first. The time at the Cenote could of been a little longer, but it's beautiful! Overall staff was very friendly, and had a great time! The duration of the Buggy Adventure was great!

Amazing time in Santo Domingo Our driver Victor was punctual and a very good driver. Our guide Hector was an incredible guide and so knowledgeable. We booked a private tour and we were picked up at the lobby. The drive to Santo Domingo was a bit over two hours. Van was air conditioned and comfortable. We stopped about halfway there for a restroom and snack break. The park was beautiful but there are a lot of steps down and then back up from the limestone caves. It is also very humid so be prepared. Our guide gave us a tour of some other stuff you don’t normally get along with what is advertised. The lunch was so good and everyone at the restaurant was so nice! All the history was incredible and lots of photo ops. Be ready in case it rains as it poured for about an hour when we were there. On a side note that has nothing to do with the tour. Our driver made a stop at a gift shop close to our resort. It was supposed to a spot where you can get souvenirs. Everyone in the store was nice but a bit pushy when it comes to buying stuff. None of the items have prices on them. When we went to pay, the total was going to be $600 USD for a handful of souvenirs. Never in my life or in any other country have I paid so much for souvenirs. We just left everything and left. Just an FYI.
