Tour Details

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at Museo de las Casas Reales to begin a guided tour of the Ciudad Colonial neighborhood in Santo Domingo. Our first stop will be the Cathedral of the First Church in the Americas, also known as the Basílica Menor de Santa María de la Encarnación. After admiring the exterior, we'll visit the Ozama Fortress, the oldest European bastion on the continent.

The tour continues along Las Damas Street, where we'll see the House of Rodrigo Bastidas, along with the residences of Nicolás de Ovando and Dávila, representatives of the colonial era.

We'll pass by the National Pantheon and Plaza de España, home to the Alcazar de Colón. Next, we will see the ruins of the San Nicolás de Bari Hospital, built in the 16th century. We will also visit the Casa del Cordón and the Our Lady of Altagracia church.

Before concluding the tour, we'll enjoy a cocktail or juice at the Museum of Rum and learn about the Dominican liquor tradition. The tour ends in this museum.
