# Half Day Dominican Republic Cultural Tour : Small Group

**Guidekin's take:** A small group half day in the countryside rather than a park: the Higüey basilica and market, the Anamuya river, coffee, cocoa and fruit tastings, Dominican food and Macao Beach, with pickup from Punta Cana, Uvero Alto and Cap Cana. Wheelchair accessible transport, nothing hidden in extras. 4.76 from 2280 reviews at €53 per person.

**Villages, no buggy?:** Small group half day at €53 per person: Higüey basilica and market, Anamuya river, coffee and cocoa tastings, Dominican food, Macao Beach. 4.76 from 2280. Trade-off: Beach comes last; no buggy driving. (last checked September 20, 2026)
