diciembre 7, 2025 at 10:23 pmHighly recommend this tour. We visited a redevelopment project along a river, next to low-income neighborhoods, received a tour through neighborhoods I would never have been able to explore myself (I don’t speak Spanish), explored a market, tried different food, at one stop they made fresh empanadas for us, I have never seen that before; then we took the teleferico. The guides were great, it also offered the opportunity to talk to and address questions to native Dominicans. I also liked that I med other travelers on the tour.
Helpful ReviewThe guides spoke good English, were knowledgeable, I felt in good hands all the time.

noviembre 16, 2025 at 1:57 pmWent there for 2 weeks with the family. Juan, the owner of the tours is such a gem. Very hardworking guide, who wants the best for his tourists. We booked all tours via him. Did 3 tours ; the Dominican Neighbourhood Tour, the Lighthbouse-Tres Ojos-Boca Chica tour & the Colonial Zone tour. All different, but such beautiful and authentic experiences. Just a special shout out to Juan, who went all out of his way to give us the best time. Would surely book Urbano Tours again.

octubre 12, 2025 at 9:14 pmA Truly Authentic Dominican Experience!
My tour with Mikey from Urbano Tours was the highlight of my trip. He provided a truly authentic Dominican perspective by showing me a local neighborhood and explaining fascinating cultural nuances, from political motivations regarding beautification to how locals enjoy their free time with music and dancing. He also guided me through a local market where I was able to taste fresh, delicious fruit. This is the perfect tour for anyone who wants to see beyond the tourist spots and experience the real Santo Domingo.
¡Una Experiencia Dominicana Verdaderamente Auténtica!
Mi tour con Mikey de Urbano Tours fue lo más destacado de mi viaje. Me brindó una perspectiva dominicana verdaderamente auténtica al mostrarme un barrio local y explicarme fascinantes matices culturales, desde las motivaciones políticas relacionadas con el embellecimiento hasta cómo los locales disfrutan su tiempo libre con música y baile. También me guio por un mercado local donde pude probar fruta fresca y deliciosa. Este es el tour perfecto para cualquiera que quiera ver más allá de los lugares turísticos y experimentar el verdadero Santo Domingo.
