Convent of the Dominicans: Visit the complex that housed the first university of the continent in 1538 and the historic site where Friar Antón de Montesinos delivered the famous Sermon of Montesinos in 1511, a fundamental milestone in the defense of the human rights of the Taíno indigenous people.

Guiding since 2026PRO
Welcome to Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the Americas! 😊
I have been a licensed national tour guide since 2011, and I am passionate about my city, its history, its culture, and, above all, about sharing it with people from all around the world.
On my tours, I want you to feel more like a friend discovering Santo Domingo with me than a tourist simply following a traditional itinerary. I’ll take you to the must-see places, but I’ll also show you hidden corners, fascinating stories, and little details that often go unnoticed.
I love having conversations, recommending authentic places to eat and enjoy, and adapting the tour to what interests you most. My goal is for you to finish the tour with great stories to tell, new experiences to remember, and plenty of excitement to keep exploring the Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴❤️
Come and discover Santo Domingo with me! I promise it won’t be just a tour—it will be an experience you’ll remember.
