Based on 36 reviewsVerified We had an amazing time and with Maiky. He made the tour a wonderful experience and I would reccomend anyone to sign up for this tour. He answered all our questions and was very educated. ❤️❤️ ElizabethVerified I like getting all the little treats along the way ClarenceVerified Maiky was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and knew almost everyone we passed. Wonderful to meet the real people of Santo Domingo and experience the lively community. We had some tasty treats along the way and some amazing city views in the cable car. They were also able to accommodate last minute! MeaganVerified Great tour and amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable and friendly! Had a great time! SaraVerified Wonderful tour, Mike really showed us the more local and authentic parts of Santo Domingo. He took his time getting to know us and introducing us to locals in the area and showing their daily lifestyle. Highly recommend. ArthurVerified If I could give this experience 10 stars I would! If you are looking for a tour that will show you every side and community of Santo Domingo in a few hours this is the tour for you! The tour was rich in culture, food, conversation, community, and history. Our tour guide Mike was excellent, he took great care of us and honestly it didn’t feel like a tour at all. It felt like a friend showing us around his home which realistically is what this experience was. If you’re visiting Santo Domingo this experience is something you should consider! RjVerified Amazing experience. Authentic local experience with a highly knowledgeable and hospitable guide! ItzaesVerified Maiky was our host. We met at the Metro as explained. Maiky has a great personality and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys his community and providing these tours. He also offered to take our pictures along the way, which was appreciated. The excursion is as described and we made many stops along the way meeting and spending time with the local children and adults. I highly recommend this tour! Thank you for showing us an inside look at Santo Domingo 🙂 KristaVerified Este tour es un paseo a la realidad de la vida cotidiana de Santo Domingo. El guía Maiky estuvo siempre atento con todo el grupo explicando en español e inglés. Súper recomendado, aprenderás mucho de la realidad de los barrios. JosueVerified I had a wonderful experience visiting these local impoverished neighborhoods in Santo Domingo. I enjoyed the fruits, especially the mango and the tea. Miky, the tour guide, is excellent at his job. I highly recommend this trip. Sussi

Based on 116 reviewsVerified Best Tour Ever ! We are well travelled and I think this is one of the best tours we have ever done ! Food and icecream, train and cable car not to mention our fantastic English speaking guide 😊 If you are travelling to SD this is a don’t miss tour 9057280717Verified Authentic Santos Domingo Tour This was a great tour and I’m really glad that we took it. Many times when visiting a country you only see the tourist areas. This tour took you behind the scenes to an authentic Dominican Neighbourhood. We also got to ride the tram and the subway. Experiences we would normally not be able to have. The Dominican people are so friendly. We were able to sample sweet potato ice cream, ginger, tea, and some of the local delicacies. Our tour guide Maiky was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and took time to explain everything to us. I would definitely recommend doing this to tour. Joe JVerified Fantastic Really unique, personal, informal, and fantastic. Felt like I got to see the DR for real beyond the tourism. jmj8778Verified Authentic to the max Excellent tour with knowledgeable and friendly driver and guide. Totally untouristy and welcoming experience. Walked through markets and neighborhood, meeting people and eating delicious empanadas and sweet potato ice cream in their homes. Views from the cable car of the city and variety of housing conditions below. Richard CVerified Great experience! We did the Santo Domingo neighborhood tour and the Colonial Zone tour. I was hesitant about safety but never felt unsafe on either tour due the Mike and Rodolfo both being phenomenal 😀 Joseph LVerified Best experience ever in SD You may be surprised with the amount of information you will get in this tour. This is underrated for such a pleasant experience. Met amazing people, learned the real neighborhoods and had a blast. Ana RVerified Authentic and fun! My guide Maiky was waiting for me. We did neighborhoods, saw a Dominican market, tried fruit from the market, had ice cream from a neighborhood shop and learned so much history! I loved this tour. I felt safe and comfortable. I am a solo traveler, and I was the only person on the tour. Highly recommend this one!! solavino21Verified Santo Dimingo's Best Neighborhood City Tour This is a unique tour that gets you into the neighborhoods! I appreciated being able to learn from our amazing guide, Maiky, who lives in one of the places we visited and his easy way with the people whose homes and businesses we went into. He gave a great overview of the history and current day evolution of the neighborhoods. We also got fresh ice cream, fruit from the market, and made-to-order homemade empanadas! Yum! I appreciated the mix of transportation modes: van to start, then walking, then teleférico, then metro. (Plus I took an Uber to the meeting spot!) I really got a feel for life in the capital. If you're looking for an experience that's not the usual tour and ready to learn about how locals are living in Santo Domingo, don't wait! This is it! NanciVerified Unforgettable Memories Excellent experience with Mike, and a great way to see parts of the city that most people don’t get to see. This was one of the most memorable things I’ve ever done on vacation because of the interaction with the locals and experiencing their kindness, hospitality, and friendship Geoff CVerified Neighborhood tour We had Maiky as our tour guide and he was great! We got to experience a day in the life of locals. We stopped at a home for a homemade helado and empanada of our choosing. Then we walked through the local market and tasted a variety of fruits. The end of the tour was capped off by riding the metro and cable car. This tour is definitely a must! Sariah L
EXCELENTE A base de 25 reseñas Publicado en GUIDO ALOIATrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Guide molto gentili e premurose. Questa parte della città bisogna vederla per capire qualcosa di più da questo paese, sennò è inutile venirci.Publicado en Marcia MshewaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. An over the top tour. A true cultural experience that you don't want to miss. The real DR experience - no fluff, all facts. A 4 hr journey into the lives of the Dominicans. This tour should be a visitor's requirementPublicado en Israel JohnsonTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I used the services of Urbano Tours to today to experience the day to day life of Dominicans in their neighborhood. We started the day off taking the boat ride to learn some history and ended with riding the metro train. I enjoyed the beauty salon visit and riding the cable cars. The coconut ice cream and the sweet potato ice cream were nice treats that I will always remember. But the best thing about the tour was meeting the Dominican people. I highly recommend Urbano Tours. Given a chance to come back to this country I will not hesitate to use their services again.Publicado en Fabiola VieyraTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I want to start off by saying if I could give this review ALOT more stars I would! AMAZING tour! My tour guide was Mike & was beyond my expectations. If you don’t like to walk please stay home this is for people who truly want to see how people live, culture, street vendors etc. I loved it and will do it again! Btw I was with older people and Mike was amazing with all of us!Publicado en T. L.Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
