Whilst we wait around for pictures Our driver Carlos made it even better. Was very patient waiting for my sister. Even though he said he spoke very little English he was able to express himself well and converse . Carlos also put me on to great Dominican music after our excursion. Great guides all through and enjoyable and entertaining transportation”
