Should be a very interesting tour, but the price seems to limit participation to a select group.

Yes..very expensive.

This tour is for those that really want to get to know the Colonial City and appreciate access to locations and knowledge that they wouldn't normally have.

Expensive compared to what? A tour of the Colonial City at this level and quality does not exist.

When you have locals wanting to buy tickets, then you know your doing something right

This tour is not really aimed at the casual tourist.
Saying that, we guarantee it will be the highlight of their vacation.

This is for those that want to get inside, learn, touch and feel the Colonial City at a level that is not normally accessible.

If anyone has any specific questions, feel free to email us.

Sounds interesting. I will go break my piggy bank and be back.

And how exactly did the DR1 logo end up in Calle Las Damas?

I didn't know you guys were that old.

Robert,
Tour looks very interesting but I was surprised to see the $150.00 price tag on the bottom of the page.I have never heard of a one day tour anywhere costing that much.On the other hand,I am sure that if you are very interested in History and architeture it would be worth the money.Just seems pricey considering how far money goes in the DR in general.

If you think this is expensive for a small group, exclusive and unique tour, I suggest you travel globally more often, this is cheap!

How many tours and what type have you taken in the DR?

The first thing you need to do is throw out the window the concept you have of DR tours. Nothing like this exists here.
If it does, please let me know, we have never heard of it.

I suggest you read the page again.

It doesn't compare, trust me...

Sounds like a hefty price. Disneyland in Tokyo doesn't cost that much for 2 people including a stop at the curry rice stand.
I would assume that part of that price goes toward the upkeep, maintenance and restoration of the area...
The historical value is priceless.

How much would Disneyland in Tokyo cost if they let in only 6 people per day, provided a 1st class gourmet lunch, world renowned expert as a guide and access to areas the public never see?
You need to put it into perspective.

Would you pay US$300/day to go bird watching or shell collecting in the DR?
Yet we have small groups that do this here and are booked up months in advance. It all depends on what you want to get out of it and how high you value the experience.

If the tour was "doable" with a large group, of course the price would be lower. That's not possible and not what it's about. This is for those that want to get inside, learn, touch and feel the Colonial City at a level that is not normally accessible. Yes, that comes at a price like everything else on the planet.

And your right, the historical value and knowledge gained is priceless...
