Melvin was an excellent guide. He was able to tour me around the places that I really wanted to visit. He messaged me the night before the tour, informing me of my pick up time. He arrived on time. And was very compassionate on the story/ history of each tourist spot. I am planning to return and will definitely ask him to tour me around on the other beautiful destinations in DR.

I know up was right in time. Gave us plenty of time to browse and visit specific spots. Printed out key pieces of historical significance and was very friendly with everyone.

We visited a lot of interesting places in Santo Domingo, and traveled through the Dominican country side. A must do if you stay at Punta Cana !

Well organized and informative. Beautiful sights. Delicious Dominican lunch.

We loved it! The guide was so helpful and he answered all of our questions.
