Santo Domingo & the Capital
Santo Domingo Private Transfers & Transportation
Santo Domingo is the oldest European-founded city in the Americas and the country's business capital at once: the Zona Colonial's cobbled streets on one side, corporate towers, embassies and institutions on the other.
We work both. Airport arrivals, hotel and office addresses, multi-day private chauffeur service for city agendas, and the long corridors out of the capital to Samaná, the southwest and the north — all private, all quoted before payment. Travelers rate us #1 for transportation in the Dominican Republic on Tripadvisor.
August in Santo Domingo: highs around 30.7°C / 87°F, lows around 23.9°C / 75°F, typically wetter than the rest of the year.

Santo Domingo is the oldest European-founded city in the Americas and the country's business capital at the same time: the Zona Colonial's cobbled streets on one side, corporate towers, embassies and institutions on the other.
It is also the hub every other region connects through — the capital's airport is the one that makes Samaná, the southwest and the north coast reachable in a single drive.
What Santo Domingo is known for
- The Zona Colonial and Calle Las Damas
- Business, government and institutional travel
- Museums, dining and nightlife
- The country's central road hub
