We aim to provide the highest level of attention to the activities associated with this tour and, within reason we are on-call to assist as much as possible, however we encourage all participants to bond with other guests and explore Santo Domingo to learn more about your potential city of choice.   Keep in mind, that while these 5 days may be filled with a joyous, fun-filled time-period; a scouting tour has a purpose, and that purpose is to decide if the Dominican Republic will be your new home or home away from home.
