Fue una buena experiencia. Las explicaciones fueron muy claras y se pudo conocer de cerca la comida, los barrios de inmigrantes de la zona aledaña a zona colonial y un poco de la historia de esta maravillosa ciudad.

Great tour. Great mix of food history and culture. Highly recommended. The only drawback was that the chocolate factory was closed, and the tour guide didn’t know this so instead of ending the tour with a cool chocolate factory tour, it just ended abruptly. No talk of a discount for the chocolate factory being closed. Besides that, was a lot of fun and would recommend the tour to anyone visiting Santo Domingo.

Amazing time with Francis! I learned a lot about the D.R. History and culture! Saw amazing things and tried things that I normally would not have tried. This is a must do when coming to Santo Domingo!
