“I'll start with the statement that my family (spouse and 2 adult sons) really enjoyed the experience. It is described as it is. We chose a two seater buggy and got to see lots of Punta Cana and were covered head to toe in mud and dust. The guide was fun and always checked on the progress of our group. That being said, we were not offered helmets or given any info on how to drive the buggy or safety tips. My son had no seatbelt restraint. The necessary items needed (face covering, goggles and water shoes) are not clearly specified prior to arriving at the location, but from reading…”

“Good tour, you get to see a lot! The horseback ride is short but nice and our guide took pix for us and sent to our phones.

The market is crazy with the food and activity. The countryside is gorgeous and has houses from traditional to tiny shacks to some fancy builds, but I especially loved being able to go into the actual traditional home of a family that works their plantation and…”
