Driver and tour guide was very busy on his phone and not attending to the guests. He received numerous calls in the morning during the event. He was knowledgeable about the area though and followed our instructions as asked. There needs to be some warning for guests about the tour of the Higuey markets, very dirty, smelly and unsanitary conditions. Not all tourists will want to see this poverty and filth. Too many opportunities to buy cigars, liquor and unneeded souvenirs. Overall though, a good trip worth taking. Visiting the church was worth it, lovely structure and long history.

Esta excursión no puede faltar en tu plan de viaje si realmente quieres ver de cerca la vida dominicana. La casa que visitamos refleja totalmente la vida de ellos y lo amable que son los dominicanos, a parte probar su café o el cacao recién cosechado es lo más.Su mercado es algo especial que te envuelve en su ambiente variopinto y distinto a las costumbres europeas. Y la basílica es la más bonita que he visto de todos los viajes que he hecho. 100x100 recomendada esta excursión.
