Would you like to walk in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus? Of course you would!

That nugget of history was free! But to really unveil Santo Domingo’s infinite past, only a full narrated tour would do the city justice.

Our Santo Domingo excursion is only available two days a week. Space sells out quickly so book now!
