Traveler reviews
“Heriberto is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and communities of the Dominican Republic. As a bilingual guide, he communicates effortlessly in both English and Spanish, making every experience engaging, informative, and accessible to travelers from different backgrounds. His companionship is genuine and authentic, and thanks to his insights, I now have a much deeper appreciation for the destination and its people. If you're looking for someone who goes beyond the typical tourist experience to help you truly connect with the Dominican Republic, I highly recommend Heriberto as your tour guide.”
“Heiberto was the best tour guide for the job of exploration and cultural discovery! I would recommend anyone that wants to see the true Dominican Republic in all its beauty to book any one of his tours. Heriberto was always smiling and explaining the different historical sites and best places to travel. He told me about the beautiful red sunsets of Bayahibe. The beaches were breathtaking and a short snorkeling trip made my entire week! We explored “night at the museum” with local museums open their doors for free to see their beautiful art in the European district. San Domingo was beautiful! He provided great recommendations for authentic and delicious food. I felt like he was part of the family not just a guide! 100% recommended Heriberto for any and all Adventures!”
“Heriberto was super nice and understanding. He knew exactly what we were looking for in the colonial zone and is very knowledgeable. We love Heriberto like family. I’m happy to have experienced Santo Domingo with him. Thank you”
“Heriberto was an amazing guide! He's excellent at forming bonds with the people he tours, which made the experience so incredibly fun. You could see that no matter where he goes, he has a lovely connection with the locals, and he is so well informed, leaving us with a variety of interesting facts about Santo Domingo's history and the places we had seen, both inside and outside the city. He's easy to talk to, keeps things candid, and makes sure that the tour is enjoyable and insightful.”
“Heriberto was so knowledgeable on the culture and history of the places he tours. We went to the bateyes where we learned about the tragic history of the sugarcane cutters. How the community still strives despite all the hardship laid out before them. It was such an eye opening experience on the price of the sugar we use everyday. Heriberto interacted with the town people as if they were all his close friends. Easy to talk to in English and spanish and extremely inviting! He is also a really chill and fun tour guide! Now I'm looking forward to doing his other tours when I return 😁”
