Reynaldo has been our ‘go to’ for airport transfers and around town needs for several trips. Including off the beaten path shopping trips and dining. Always reliable and personable.

Absolutely incredible experience I asked Reynaldo for a personal guided tour into Higuey, to show me how the Dominican Republic truly is We drove through the countryside, and Reynaldo provided so much information into the history and culture of Dominican Republic. He is an absolutely incredible conversationalist Then we drove all around Higuey, he translated for me, took me to actual local spots for real Dominican lunch and dinner. And took me around for shopping. He knew exactly where to go for what I wanted to buy I got to see everything. Reynaldo dedicated his entire day to me as my personal guide and translator I absolutely 100% would recommend Reynaldo to anybody. I felt completely safe with him, even in the most sketchy parts of Higuey. I truly wanted to see everything that Higuey had to offer, and Reynaldo made it happen Reynaldo you are truly one of a kind
