This tour was a total rip off. I chose it over all of the other tous becuse I am staying in Santo Domingo and they picked up from my hotel. The tour was supposed to be 6 hous but it was only 4 1/2 hours. My pickup was 30 minutes late then I had to wait to join a group coming from Punta Cana so the tour started 1 hour late. The online description said entry/admission to the Fort, Columbus Lighthouse and the Palace. We only stopped at these 3 places for a quick explanation and photo op. The monestary was not mentioned. Lunch was OK. Buffet style so you saw what you were going to eat and chose what you wanted. 3 Eyes National Park is 164 steps up and down so if you are not used to walking it's a lot. My legs are very sore a day later and I exercise and walk everyday.
Overall I am very disappointed and I am going to request at least half a refund.

We wanted a one day city trip and ended up with a private guide . He toured us throughout all the places . We were a family of four with 2 3yr boys and a double stroller .you don’t need to feel pressured to buy as they take you to souvenir stores unless you want to buy. We even asked for a quick stop to a fast food burger king for my picky son who only eats chicken nuggets as we walked through the colonial city . Our tour guide was very great in explaining the history and we didn’t feel rushed throughout the day.

Muy buen recorrido por la zona Colonial y el parque de los 3 ojos. Excelente el guía Miguelón, siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros y si alguien se atrasaba los esperaba sin ningún problema. Lo único que no recomiendo es comprar los souvenirs en las tiendas a la que te llevan, están demasiado caros, los mismos recuerdos los puedes adquirir en otras tiendas fuera del recorrido.
