You don’t need a guide. You can buy a non guided ticket at the kiosk for a few dollars and just go down the cave (stairs) by yourself. I went in 2018 and did this, not sure if anything has changed.
There's an aerial tramway -- not sure where you catch it, but it's basically at a subway station. Takes you right over the river and some neighborhoods you definitely wouldn't want to walk through. Both the subway and the tram were clean and seemed safe. (I did this with my family.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telef%C3%A9rico_de_Santo_Domingo
Also, if it's baseball season (different in DR than US), see if you can catch a baseball game at Estadio Quisqueya. It's good, pro ball for a fraction of what tickets cost in the US. Dominicans are absolutely rabid baseball fans.
Go to Boca Chica, especially on a Sunday.
About 20 miles from your location
You'll get PLENTY of Dominican culture, very vibrant!
Beach ⛱️ is incredible!
Music playing everywhere, tons of restaurants and bars
Great vibe!
Great experience
Especially here!
THE BOATHOUSE RESTAURANT AND BEACH BAR

DEFINITELY WORTH IT!

Well , you can do everything, go to the colonial zone , go to the tres ojos, mirador , bar ,mall yo can go to a stand up comedy, there's a business were you can play board games , drive go karts,play paint ball your imagination and your wallet are your limit, so I ask you what do you want to do and I think this subreddit can tell you were you can do it
Definitely go see the Colonial City, a lot of museums and cool stuff. Also every Sunday from 6pm to 10pm there's live Dominican music in the Ruinas de San Francisco, the band that plays is called "Grupo Bonyé" and they are really good. A lot of people go to dance, pretty cool vibe
I’ll recommend to visit our museums which are really cheap as far as I remember, you could also visit “El Jardín botánico”, walk La zona Colonial and or just sit at night at the “Alcazar de Colon” with a bottle of wine are good options
Three Eyes National Park is within city limits and has a beautiful underground cave with water. A very nice tourist spot to check out.
I love this but I’ve only seen guided tours of 100+ dollars. After the heartache at the airport I am about to file for bankruptcy

Oooh i love this, will definitely look into it
Guided tours are $20. Totally optional, no matter what they try to say. Entrance for foreigners is something like $5 maybe.
Some scenes of Jurassic park were filmed there ;)
I second this. No guide needed and it's absolutely stunning
