Enjoy a memorable, incredible and amazing adventure to experience the people and life in the Dominican. If you're looking to see how life is lived outside your resort and have a day full of fun and a lifetime of memories this is one tour you don't want to miss. Once arrived at the local plantation you will visit first a typical Dominican house, learn about when it was built and spend some time with the welcoming and modest family that lives there.Next you will start the plantation tour. It presents 500 square meters of different plants, especially coffee and cocoa, besides tobacco, pineapple, sugarcane , papaya, plantains, corn and others. You will end the plantation tour at a grocery store where different organic products will be offered to buy at very affordable prices.
Now it's time to move to Higuey where you will approach the Higüey Basilica. Devotees from every corner of the country flock this awe-inspiring shrine. Its splendor and elegant architecture will leave you breathless.

The visit to the open market was very interesting and loved previewing the spices. Really enjoy making a cigar and watching them being made.

At first I was concerned that we were riding in a closed in van. I was looking and dress for a vehicle with no air and able to see views. The tour was like a vip tour after all. The tour guide was on point.

The guides Gabriel 1 & 2 were very friendly and made the experience even that more memorable. W were able to visit a primary school the children were so sweet. Making cigars, seeing how cocoa and coffee are made and had to opportunity to see an authentic Dominican country house it was beautiful. There were more we experienced on this trip I would recommend this trip well worth it with all the sites seen and the lovely guides

Guide was speaking only broken German, not all was explained fully in German.
No Safari bus like in the description, only a closed minibus.
Everything super fast, no real time to enjoy.
Market: one short stop, no time to look around or to buy something.
No Macao beach like in the description
Plantage really poor.
5 minutes stop at a public school; this was not part of the description
Wouldn’t book or recommend this.

Disappointment
It wasn't a safari jeep like in the photo, but a small mini bus.
The guide couldn't explain why.
But other jeeps drove there.
It didn't go as described.
Macao New Year only at the end, but suddenly only for a couple, even though we had booked it.
We were then driven back to the hotel.
The tour was supposed to be in German, but the guide only spoke very broken German.
A lot of things were lost as a result. A no-go if you've specifically visited German.
Almost walked through the market, there was no time to have a quick look around and buy something in peace.
Plantations were boring, it was more of a sales tour.
Don't do it.

Great tour guide and we were lucky to be part of a small group of just 6 people including us. Nice stops and try-out options and overall coop experience. Would definitely recommend doing the tour.

This tour was interesting and it was eye opening to see how the people of Punta Cana live. Our tour guide was not very fluent in English and I think the tour would have been much better if he could have been able to better answer our questions and would have been talking to us throughout the driving part of the tour

The excursion is mostly to visit village farm, small tobacco factory and local market. Interesting to see it and it’s very fast 5 hours — we didn’t lose too much time and we didn’t eat out of the hotel which is what we were searching for. It’s 2 times cheaper than the same that offered in the hotel. Everything was perfect! Recommend!
