We had the half day cultural tour today with Wester. He was fantastic; very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us all the main cultural spots, a horse riding experience around a ranch, to the basilica, the local food/retail markets, house tour, cigar factory tour and finally to macau beach. I can’t thank Wester enough for his expertise, friendliness and knowledge enough. An excellent day!
We had a great time in our “half day” tour in Punta Cana! Our driver, Sandy and our guide Franklin were amazing! Very informative, charismatic and personable. We learned so much and really got a chance to dive into the cultural of DR. I will say that being labeled “half day tour” was a little steep giving that our pick up time was 7am and we didn’t get dropped back off until about 3:30pm! So more like full day but nothing wrong with that 👍🏼
We had an amazing experience with Jhoraji Tours thanks to Sandy and Robertson! Sandy was an excellent driver — professional, patient, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The ride was smooth and enjoyable the whole way. Robertson, our tour guide, was outstanding — knowledgeable, friendly, and full of energy. He shared so many interesting facts and stories that really brought the places we visited to life. You could tell he’s passionate about what he does, and that made the tour even more special. Together, they made the trip unforgettable — organized, fun, and full of great memories. I’d highly recommend Jhoraji Tours, and especially Sandy and Robertson, to anyone looking for a top-notch travel experience!
Wester Martinez was super super amazing! He was so kind to us, explaining fascinating details about his wonderful country. At first me and my family were worried we wouldn’t be able to be picked up since our resort is sort of far away, but the company made sure to accommodate to us and make our experience so fun and informative. In total, the experience was so worth it; if I could I’d give it one thousand stars!!! We are so happy!
Amazing tour to start our trip here in the DR. our tour guide Wester Martinez was amazing and well spoken. He was very accommodating to everyone in our tour even the young children. I would absolutely recommend this tour to kickoff a vacation so everyone can understand the Dominican culture and lifestyle that the locals live. 10/10 would recommend!
