From $95Food & Culinary Tours in Santo Domingo
Dominican food is a Caribbean blend of Taino, Spanish, and African flavours, and a food tour through Santo Domingo is the quickest way to taste it. Walks weave through the Colonial Zone and local markets, stopping for mangu, fresh cacao, artisanal coffee, craft beer, and the rum the country is famous for.
A guided tasting trip also doubles as a history lesson, since many of the dishes trace back to the colonial port and the sugar trade. Come hungry, go easy on breakfast, and wear comfortable shoes; the best bites are spread across several blocks of the old city.
