Experience the true Santo Domingo on this immersive tour through its most authentic neighborhoods.
We start at the Eduardo Brito Metro Station, where your urban adventure begins with a warm Dominican coffee and a welcome from local residents. Explore vibrant markets, traditional beauty salons, and corner stores (“colmados”) as you dive into everyday Dominican life.
You’ll visit a typical neighborhood home and savor a “helado de fundita” along with a traditional breakfast or lunch (empanadas or chimi, depending on schedule). The tour continues aboard the Santo Domingo cable car, offering spectacular views of the northern barrios, followed by a metro ride that connects you to the city from a different perspective.
We’ll also stop by a renowned dembow music studio, a baseball field, a soccer pitch, and much more—an urban experience rich in culture and flavor.

October 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.
