Santo Domingo Night Tour and Merengue/Bachata Experience

4 hoursFrom $69★ 4.8 (164)

Overview

Start with a one-hour merengue and bachata class with a professional dancer, stroll the illuminated Colonial Zone, and finish at a live-music bar where locals dance until late. Two drinks and a round-trip ride are included.

The birthplace of merengue and bachata

Merengue and bachata were born in the Dominican Republic and both are recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. At night Santo Domingo's plazas, colmados and dance halls come alive — this tour takes you to them safely, with a short dance lesson to start.

Who this tour suits

Solo travellers, couples and groups who want real nightlife rather than a hotel show. No dance experience needed. Decide whether a music-and-dancing evening suits your trip.

Good to know

Wear comfortable shoes you can dance in. Return transport to your hotel is arranged, so you never need a street taxi late at night.
