Reynaldo was an excellent tour guide and did a great job accommodating Spanish and English-speaking guests. We enjoyed all the elements on the tour including the lunch. We even stopped to address a medical issue of one guest and he handled it kindly. Totally recommend this to everyone who loves history and who loves to learn about the wonderful people of the DR. What an amazing island!
PS our driver kept us safe and comfortable even though it was hot for us New Englanders.

We did this tour to San Domingo from Punta de Cana. Jose Luis, our driver, was just fabulous and very concerned about making of our trip a pleasant one. When we arrived to 3 ojos we were introduced to Tito, our guide for the day, who was very knowledgeable, ready to answer all our questions, and concerned about our well-being. Overall I really recommend this tour.
Full disclosure, we were 8 people and only my husband does not speak Spanish so the tour was mostly done in Spanish.
