What to expect
Net rate per departure (not per person); it does not include vehicle or tickets for museums. This price includes up to nine participants in the tour. In case transport is needed, it has an extra cost of US$ 100.00 per half day. The transport can be hired directly by client or by Legends upon request, but clients usually prefer to meet at the colonial city and begin tour from there.
A museum entrance in the colonial city is regularly US$2.00 per person per museum; say Columbus Palace, Cathedral, Ozama Fort, Dominicos Church and Royal Houses Museum. Cathedral cannot get visited inside on Sundays and on daily days only until 4:00 Museums are closed on Mondays and close at 4:30. We frequently do night tours 7 to 9 pm.

Samuel is one of the 3 top tour guides I have ever had. OUTSATANDING!!! He's not just a tour guide, He's also an expert on what you're seeing. He takes groups of up to 9 and does the tour based on what you are interested in. Can't use enough superlatives .
