How Does It Work?

We have made purchasing our range of Dominican excursions as easy as possible and we have ensured that each excursion follows these guidelines.
  • That the price we sell the excursions for online are equal or cheaper than those sold in the hotels of the Dominican Republic
  • There are no "hidden extras" to be paid when you go on the excursions - the price you pay here includes everything in our tour descriptions.
  • Each excursion have been checked by a Real DR employee to ensure that a quality, informative and fun tour is being provided to our customers
  • All food and drink received on the excursions is of an excellent Dominican quality
  • Each exursion is fully insured
  • Each excursion provides a guide that is both knowledgable about the Dom Rep and have an excellent command of the English language
And this is how it all works....
