From the barrios, cities and countryside, you will experience firsthand in an informal and personal manner, what makes the region what it is. Small group size ensures that you will not just be another number on the tour. Encounters are with real people going about their lives as they do every day. All tours are conducted in comfortable air conditioned vehicles and narrated in native English.I look forward to showing you the Dominican Republic I have come to know! « less

Myself and my partner did a tour with Mike in May 2013. There was only another couple on the trip so made the trip more personal. We found Mike to be very sociable and we felt that we were out with friends for the day. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and we felt at ease in his company. Visited the local... More

My husband and I went on Mike's Higuey Circle tour last week and thought it was just fabulous. There were just the six of us – three couples - in an air conditioned van which put a personal touch on the tour that I have not experienced before. Our first stop was the school that he supports and as a... More

This was by far the best experience my husband and I had on our trip. Mike was so knowledgable and friendly that we truly felt like we were among friends for the day. The tour is small which I would say beats anything inpersonal and in the back of some truck. Mike promptly picked us up at our hotel in... More

If you want to see the real Dominican book a tour with Mike. He does small groups(8-12) and takes you into their world. He is from Canada so he speaks English. He will take you to a small school that he helps support, so take some candy and school supplies for the little ones. He has a couple of tours... More

I found Mike on Tripadvisor and when I read the reviews I knew this was a trip my husband and I would enjoy. We like to explore the country and get to know the people when we visit a foreign country. We are not content to stay inside a resort or go on tours that are hokey. Mike's tour was... More

If you only do one tour while in Punta Cana, do the Higuey Circle tour. My wife and I, and another couple certainly had a great tour with Mike. Bring whatever you can supply to the school, as a more worthy cause you will never find. Get off that all inclusive resort and find out just how happy people are... More

Brought as much as we could fit in our luggage wish we could have brought more. Cash donations also accepted.Cigar and chocolate factory are very expensive however very much worth bringing money to shop there for sure! We did... More

We did the Munchies in Macao Beach on April 4th with Mike and had a great time. Visited the school, visited the chocolate factory, Don Lucas cigar factory and then ended up at Macao Beach for a great lunch. What a great time we had. It was great seeing Mike again and Kelly and Kenny who we met two years... More

My husband and I took the Higuey Circle tour. Incredibly informative and makes you stop and think about how travel can truly open your eyes to life outside of your comfortable all-inclusive resort. Keep up the great work, Mike!

What a wonderful tour we had with Punta Cana Mike. He is an incredible person and so brilliant with his passion for the children of Punta Cana. This tour was so much more than we ever imagined. All six of us in our group were incredibly thrilled that we booked this in advance. Visiting with the children at the school... More
