it's not the $150, it's the souvenir t-shirts, saran-wapped sugar cane, and the like that we'll be expected to buy at each stop.

seriously, if i didn't travel with 2 kids, and was going to be in RD on any of those dates i would have signed up all ready. this is, after all, one of UNESCO's world heritage sites that is being toured.

Good luck with the venture. One advantage I see right away is you are using a guide who, unlike most of the other I see around the Colonial Zone, doesn't appear to be an alumnae of Riker's Island.

I think the price is fine. Most decent meals in the Zona Colonial cost around that anyway. This excursion appears to have the added bonus of an educated tour.

Add a few cocktails, a decent dinner, some after dinner theatre and a bit of nightclubbing and you'll be up to $250 - $300 US per person.
Anyone who thinks this is too expensive should travel with us sometime!
I'll get back to you Rob when I get home. We have friends coming down in Feb. who may be interested. Just need to find two more people to "round out" the group to 6 or would you make up the 2 extra needed???

The group is a max of 6 people. These will made up on a first come first serve basis. We are not expecting people to come up with their own group of six people, although that would be nice and make life easier for us

You can book individually, as a couple, however...

You're right. Tokyo Disney couldn't stay open for US$900 a day.

The archaeologist in me would appreciate it especially if the tour was given by Ivor Noel Hume.

Preservation of valuable artefacts costs a lot of money. I'd like to know some of my money was going towards restoring the place for future generations to enjoy.

It'll be a great experience.

I think it is a ñ exelent price for what you are offering,remember folks many of you spend more than this on the culturaly enriching casinos of Santo Domingo,and as Drake said agood meal can easily cost that and more,keep on coming up with these great tours there are some people who appreciete more in life than jeep safaries

Is the person running the tour the same one that edits this board (Vicioso) sp

Julia will provide info sheets, but it might be handy to jot down a few notes.

Is the person running the tour the same one that edits this board (Vicioso) sp?
No. It's her sister.

JOHNNY HONDA.
For this type and quality of tour it's very good value for money.
Yes, we have other stuff in the works, we are trying to take it to another level. More focused to those that want to leave the DR with a very memorable and educational experience as apposed to just a sun tan.
