There'll be plenty of samplers and stunning scenery on this culture-filled tour – it's a real treat for the senses. Visit a village school, taste local coffee, fresh fruit and chocolate, see a cigar-making demo and tuck into a typical lunch at a mountain ranch. Boogie boarding at a private beach and a cold Cuba Libre cocktail complete the line-up.

You'll experience the local way of life on this tour, and it all begins with a visit to a village school. Learn all about island education before dropping by a typical home to taste offerings of local chocolate, coffee and fruits.

Lunch at a mountain ranch is served with a side order of spectacular views. And the food's not bad either. After a tasty Dominican buffet, the afternoon is spent getting to know the island's all-important tobacco industry with a cigar-making demonstration. There's also some downtime on a private beach where you can try a bit of boogie boarding or just kick back with a complimentary cocktail.
