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.
