Long drive from Punta Cana resort to Santo Domingo. About 3 hours each way.
The driver was great. Fantastic even as it was quiet and he didn’t bother us at all. What did bother us was the mosquitoes we were trapped in the van with. In an island country where mosquito-borne disease is common and sometimes lethal, being stuck in a van for 6 hours with around 30-40 of them was a real nightmare. You’d like to rest on long drives if possible but not on this drive. I had to stay alert and vigilant in swatting mosquitoes the entire time. Yes the driver opened the windows to get as much out but didn’t help at all. Terrible experience.
Then the tour guide we met in the city. Dude was nice but you can tell he was in a rush. I like fast tours but this guy rushed us through every landmark. He also took the worst pictures ever with the camera diagonal and cutting off every monument. He also made us choose options, one or the other and of course the dang gift shops we had to stop at instead of monuments. But I hear that’s a normal thing here. This was not a good experience but still made the best of it. I would not recommend though. Should’ve just went with the hotel tour option by bus for a fraction of the cost.

Darius is a quick-witted and hilarious tour guide who helped us through the city. They were fast, efficient and didn't allow any wasted time, however they gave us time to relax and get food too.

This was the best tour of our entire trip while staying in the Dominican Republic. We were picked up on time at 7:30 a.m. at the security gate.Our tour guide Nikko was very friendly, knowledgeable, engaging and had a great personality. Our driver Maximilo was also polite, friendly and a great driver especially during our tour downtown as traffic was very chaotic. This was a very enjoyable tour in our family enjoyed every single moment of it. Nikko was a champion and he provided a spectacular tour of the capital, it's history, it's culture and it's people. This was an all-day tour so you have to be ready and prepared. It's about 2 hours to the Capitol from Punta Cana and sometimes longer coming back. You can bring pesos, dollars or credit cards as you'll be able to shop at a store that accept all three. The dollar is preferred among merchants in and around the Dominican Republic. Maximilo was a great driver, friendly and got us safely back to the resort. Overall, I suggest that you booked this particular tour provider as you'll have an amazing day.

Group was too big, too many stops to pick up and drop people, guide was chaotic and often forgot to translate. Not really convinced about the quality of this tour.
