Imponente a la vista. Al ingresar los ladrillos de color naranja dan al fondo de la Basilica un color muy especial comparado con cae el sol . La estructura de cemento que se ve por delante de la pared de color a la vista pareciera formar una letra A al fondo. Me llamo la atencion no hay inmagenes de otros SANTOS.

I took this tour while in Punta Cana for a wedding. To start off, they were 20 minutes late picking me up due to “picking up other passengers” - I was the first person on the bus... The guide was very knowledgeable about the churches and the farm we visited. The farm had lots of gorgeous plants and it was great learning about the different food they grow, and the process to make coconut oil. It appears to have been someone’s actual current home though, which seemed exploitative. The actual time spent walking through the city of Higuey and through the market was very rushed - no time to browse, stop to take photos, etc. We were taken to a typical Dominican lunch spot that the tour guide liked - it was clear that he was friends with the people there, so I am guessing it’s a business deal - and the food was terrible and cold, but cheap ($2). During this time the tour guide took off on the back of a motorcycle and left us alone at the restaurant waiting to leave! He came back later without apology or explanation. The bus driver also disappeared around lunch time, without letting us know we would be without transportation. Overall I appreciated getting off the resort, but I would have liked some time to really explore the town, walk around, take photos. The tours of the churches were well done, although we were passed off and told to tip another guide at the cathedral (who didn’t speak English or provide info during our visit). I don’t think the tour is executed well, but it was cheap, and still allowed a brief look into life in the Dominicans Republic.

The Higuey Cultural Tour from Punta Cana was very educational. The guide Antonio was knowledgable, kind, and provided a wonderful experience. Elvis our driver was very safe. The tour was as advertised. We highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning about the culture of the Dominican Republic. It was a highlight of our vacation.
