Viator tours providing service through local tours Mc travel and tours. However I believe a different agency showed up. I'm giving a rating of 3 primarily for being late and no English guide upon arrival. Our original time was 9 am. Later changed to 9:25 then to 9:50. Only to show up after 10 am. Upon guide arrived the trip ended up being very productive. The tour was a little less than 4 hours. The guide showed us how the Dominicans people pretty much live off the land agriculturally. By making coconut oil and other products. The meat market consist of cut up animals that was hung outside to dry. We were able to view 2 of the oldest churches and a local store for souvenirs. Visit a local family who sold several types of products. Some of them I believe we're over priced. But very nice family. Be wear of bugs because there were everywhere. Some of the members were cutting up coconut to be processed. Very interesting trip! Especially if you are interested in learning about the people and culture. Higuey is about a 45 minute drive from Punta Cana. Improvements needed is to have an English speaking guide available for the duration of the trip. Riding 45 minutes with empty space was a little wasted. No water or refreshments provided on our trip. Maybe because it's a new itinerary.
