Tour description

Hello! I'm Sheila and I'm already thinking about walking you around my city, so put on comfortable shoes 😉

I personally call Santiago “the Dominican Wynwood”. Los Pepines is a neighborhood in the Historic Center of the City full of art, culture and history in the Caribbean.


Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic is the first Santiago in all of America! (You're already learning 😅)
Throughout the tour you will see diversity between the bars, colonial houses and local gastronomic experience. Meanwhile you will have enough time to enjoy and take pictures.
In the 2 hours of the tour, you will discover all the corners that this place has to offer.

What will you see in this tours?
In addition to the churches and Cathedral (we will only visit from the outside) we will be able to go to the community and enjoy its music and folklore , we will walk the center of the city where the Presidents of the nation used to live and even liberating heroes of the homeland.
This tour will also be an immersion in gastronomy , where you will find snacks / snacks and a variety of beers.

Once there you can try Dominican desserts and dishes such as:

  • Freshly made juice and local Mabi Cacheo (kombucha)
  • empanadas
  • tropical dances
  • Eskimo (popsicles)
  • President Beer


If you are looking for a place to buy handmade souvenirs, I will also provide you with the best places in the city, as well as affordable prices.
You won't regret your next visit!

Llevo dos meses en el país y he conocido a varios guías pero Sheila es especial, es culta, inteligente, simpática y si visitas Santiago un domingo, puedes estar seguro que con ella NO seráun domingo cualquiera. He vivido una auténtica experiencia con ella, he conocido la verdadera Santiago, las calles, la gente, la fiesta, el son caribeño...es una verdadera suerte tenerla como guía y le seré eternamente agradecida por lo que me ha hecho vivir. Gracias Sheila...jamás te olvidaré
