This full-day bus tour from La Romana lasts about 10 to 11 hours and focuses on Santo Domingo, the oldest European settlement in the Americas. The tour begins with hotel pickup and travels to several key sites including the National Pantheon of the Dominican Republic, where visitors spend about 45 minutes. Guests also see the Colonial Gate 4D Cinema, watching a 30-minute movie about Francis Drake’s history. Lunch is included and takes place during a one-hour break at a local spot serving typical Dominican dishes. Due to COVID-19, many museums remain closed, so the tour includes panoramic views of several historical sites rather than indoor visits. The guide provides informative commentary throughout the day, and bottled water and air conditioning on the vehicle are included. The tour replaces the closed Alcazar de Colon with a visit to Fortaleza Ozama. Visitors should note that women must have shoulders and knees covered to enter the cathedral. The day ends with hotel drop-off back in La Romana.
