“I feel like I just graduated from Republica Dominicana school. Ariel could teach school. Everywhere he took us, the people were well versed in the culture and their particular industry. There were no high pressure sales tactics. Ariel himself is an expert on the island history and culture. Whenever I return, I want him as our guide. I know the tour would be tailored to our interests and not a canned repetitive experience. We even went to the grocery store. He was fantastic!”
