For a hit of history while you're on holiday, head to Santo Domingo. It's the Dominican Republic's capital and one of the Caribbean's oldest cities. Highlights of this private tour include the UNESCO-listed colonial zone, a 4D cinema experience recounting the city's past, and Columbus Lighthouse – resting place of the famous explorer's remains.
First up is Columbus Lighthouse – a multi-million-dollar lighthouse built to celebrate the 500-year anniversary of his landing in the Americas. It's then time to be transported back to the days of the famous explorer with a 4D cinema experience that tells tales of the city's past.
Last but not least, we'll visit the UNESCO-listed colonial zone where modern high rise buildings tower over heritage sites dating back to the 15th century. You'll see the Ambar Museum, the National Pantheon, the Gothic cathedral and Alcazar de Colon, a grand estate that once belonged to Christopher Columbus's family.
