We'll pick you up at your hotel or location in the Dominican Republic in comfortable, minibus, if you prefer, and accompanied by an expert guide, and take you to see El Alcazar de Colon, the Catedral Primada de America, where the remains of Christopher Columbus rested until they were moved to the Columbus Lighthouse in 1992.
You will also visit the Plaza de Espana, dominated by the Columbus Alcazar (popularly known as the Columbus House) built by Diego Colon, Columbus's oldest son, in 1509. Los Tres Ojos caves, the Columbus Lighthouse, the National Aquarium, and the city's unforgettable shopping bazaars.
We'll walk along the Calle de las Damas (Street of the Ladies), the oldest and most romantic part of the city, visiting the Ozama Fortress, the oldest mansions in the Americas. Walk down cobble stone streets among the Spanish colonial architecture and imagine how things were back in the 1600s.

There you can bargain for Dominican arts and crafts and appreciate a bit of the life of everyday Dominicans.

We'll also visit the modern part of the Capital, including the Presidential Palace, the Cultural Center with its National Theater, Museum of Dominican Man, and Gallery of Modern Art, and we'll drive through the beautiful South
