Transportation to Santo Domingo from Punta Cana was chaotic and disorganized. Upon request, local operator emailed me with meeting location and pick up time to be 6:45am. I arrived early at 6:35am and driver did not wait and left me behind. After calling Viator, a van arrived 1 hr later and had 2 transfers to meet up with my tour. Then stopped 3 times to transfer and pickup more passengers. Did not reach Santo Domingo until 12noon and our 10hr tour ended up being 14hrs!! Better to find private transportation and join a tour in Santo Domingo.
Gregory, our tour guide did a good job translating between English and Spanish to give interesting information about history of locations we visited. Enjoyed visiting caves and walking tour of city and historical locations.
