“The horses are so sweet. It was a lot of fun but the beaches do seem like they are abandoned. The other thing I will say is that I am still sore 4 days later from their saddles they are not too comfy. And they try to push pictures and other souvenirs on you but that is anywhere in Punta Cana because you're a tourist. Other than that pretty good time.”

“Wir hatten die Tour während unseres Aufenthalts in Punta Cana gebucht. Abgeholt werden, sollten wir um 7 Uhr. Nach 40 Minuten kontaktierte ich die Hotline, die mir mitteilte, dass der Fahrer doch erst um 8:30 käme. Dieser Fahrer konnte mit uns kein Wort kommunizieren weil er, nicht wie gebucht, kein deutsch und nicht mal ansatzweise englisch sprach. Wir mussten bei jedem Stopp mit den einzelnen Guides alles selbst absprechen, viele wussten gar nichts davon, dass wir überhaupt kommen. Nachdem der Fahrer dann beim vorletzten Punkt beschloss, dass wir die Schokoladenfabrik nicht mehr besuchen sollten, durften wir die 50km auf der Heimfahrt dauerhaft versuchen, den Fahrer irgendwie wach zu halte...”
