Default NYC compared to this Tour

I live in NYC, a city most tourists consider pricey. I have never heard of a tour here for $150.
Give me a break! I would not break my piggy bank. I am sure the Colonial City is beautiful but I cannot afford to spend $150 on any tour.
Disney Land is certainly cheaper!

Actually, I went on a helicopter tour of NY, cost me more than US$150.

I have seen many tours in my travels around this planet, many at US$150+.

If you can't afford it, fine, but don't put it down and show your ignorance by really not knowing anything about tours that offer a great ROI (Return on Investment)

As we have stated, this is not for everyone, but going by the response we have received, people are interested, will be going on the tour and appreciate this level of tour.

2 mins on Google pulled up the following:

Paris - US$200

Florence - US$150 (3hrs)

New York - US$94 (10 mins)

Paris - US$45 (3 hrs, no food etc)

I suggest you stick to Disneyland...

If it's good, we support and promote it.

Do we do it for free? Nope.

It's tours like this that provide YOU with a great resource for free.

2003 you will see a lot more tours

And just in case you doubt it, We saw a lot of ppl on those tours of Paris and Florence even in mid-October!
As the saying goes "You get what you pay for!"
If you want a first rate, informative tour be prepared to pay a first rate price!!

Man.... I am torn. We are going there 2/13 - 2/20 of this year and a tour just happens to occur while we are there. We are actually staying in Zona Colonial, with my love for exquisite architecture, I insisted. This tour looks like something just up my alley. However I agree with some people that it will just be too much. 3 of us are going down there and that would be $450. To charter the plane to San Juan for a day that we were looking at will only be $330... I feel that the price is a little steep. Although the vast wealth of knowledge that you will be getting from the tour is amazing, the price also is a little high for a tour. I have been on several and none have ever been that high (I saw your price examples, however I am speaking from my first hand experience). I think maybe the prices are so high so that the tour is worthwhile to her to travel from her residence to the DR. I do not know just my two sense. I think I would rather just have his family show us around.

I have too much going on the end of Feb, beginning of March, to make this one. But would be intersted in taking 6 people, if you offer another Tour.


Please let me know.

Right now we have no plans for other tours, this is due to our tour guide having teaching engagements in Rome (Italy).

If anything changes, we will let you know.
