Basilica Catedral Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia, Higuey, Caribbean First, head to the Higüey Basilica. Devotees from every corner of the country flock this awe-inspiring shrine. As the Dominican Republic’s largest religious monument, it covers a massive area. As a distinctive structure in the shape of a Latin cross, this is a masterpiece of French architects. Visitors are led in through a somber bronze entryway plated in 24-kt. gold.
On his second visit to the country, Pope John Paul II crowned an image of Virgin of Altagracia, a remarkable gilded silver diadem. A lofty bell tower guarding 45 bronze carillons are pleasing visual stimuli for the passerbys, engulfing them in a celestial aura. Despite your religious beliefs, this sacred place radiates a sensation of peace and tranquility. 60 minutes

The tour was OK. The guides did their best to make the standard tour exciting.
There was no time to see Higuey except at the visit of the cathedral.
It is the standard tour sold hundred times a day to the tourists and at the end you can't make a plow horse a race horse.
Probably better to rent a driver for a day touring through the landscape and visit Higuey by yourself.
