# 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 2299 reviews at €55 per person.
