I went just today with my family on this great excursion, was a day full of history and dominican culture, our tour guide was Mr. Norberto and our driver was Rusel, 2 very professional guys. We went to visit the most important museums and monuments in this amazing city, we learned a lot. The lunch was delicious at Buche Perico Restaurant and the 4D movie was amazing. I will recomend this tour to everyone.
