They were also on “Dominican time” so were 10 mins late collecting. Trip itself was very good. Loved the buggy, the house stop was basically a sales pitch for local goods, not really what I was expecting as it wasn’t laid out like a house, but you did get to taste the coffee and chocolate. Jose the guide was like a 70s stand up and should be on the stage! Cave was good but we weren’t there long. Wasn’t cold either so…”

So unorganized, it took them over an hour just to get started even though we kept being told “five minutes, 2 more minutes” kept being pushed back with no updates. Then once it actually started, the buggies were in horrible condition, half of them broke down mid trip and people were dropping like flies. The stops themselves were not fun at all, there was no chocolate provided, and it felt more like they are working with the vendors just to get people to buy stuff from them and THEY ARE AGGRESSIVE at…”
