We pick you up by a comfortable bus at your hotel or from our office and drive, passing La Romana, over the new highway to Santo Domingo.

We start our sight seeing tour through the Zona Colonial at the Parque Colón, the traditional centre of the old Santo Domingo, with the statue of Colón. We visit the Cathedral Santa Maria la Menor, the Ozama Fortress, the Pantéon Nacional, the museum in Casas Reales, and the Alcázar de Colón, just to name the best known. We will pass several historic buildings on our tour.

Your guide will be able to tell you a lot about the history of the capital.

You have free time to stroll in “El Conde”, the shopping street in the Zona Colonial, before we have lunch in a cozy restaurant, a typical Dominican lunch with beverage and coffee.
