chu chu colonial

我在圣多明各参加了一个为期三天的殖民地之旅,我们当时就住在殖民区的一家酒店里。我使用了行李免费托运的服务。这些服务是还不错,但是在被告之价格以后你可能就不会那么认为了。那些高昂的费用将会要求你以信用卡的方式支付。我就是这件事的受害者之一。当我与殖民地之旅联系并反映这情况的时候,它们的却仅仅只是道歉而已,并且还告诉我很遗憾这样的情况现在很多,而且他们无法为我做任何事来解决问题。我建议大家在接受他们服务的时候一定要坚持在讲定价格并且收到收据后再离开多米尼亚,不然他们可能会给你寄上一张让你大吃一惊的账单,并"遗憾的"告诉你他们什么也做不了。此外,我也不会用Visa卡或是Master卡,而是用美国运通的卡。因为这里很怪异的与美国运通连接的机构要比Visa和Master连接的机构要多得多。尽管他们声称美国运通在很多地方是不可用的。骗局是,我们被告知一个以美元为单位的价格数字,但是在刷卡的时候却与多米尼亚币做了一些不准确的兑换,因为数额的问题,中间就出现了一些严重的偏差。换句话说就是客户端都是骗人的,不管是柜台还是上层,都要千万小心!

殖民区简直太难以令人置信了,那里的建筑和人是我见到过的最漂亮的、最有吸引力的,我花了一整天去欣赏这个美丽的城市,花了整晚欣赏这里漂亮的人,这些地方都非常有趣,夜生活很不错,尽管比圣多明各其他地方消费稍贵一点,这里相对还是算便宜的。是一个很适合家庭和老夫妻休闲的高级的地方,如果你去酒吧或俱乐部,一定要穿得很漂亮,要不然你就会很招眼。

我昨天才从圣多明各殖民城市旅行回来,旅行很精彩。在多米尼加共和国的最后一天我选择再去殖民区而不是躺在沙滩上。殖民区很漂亮,我从来没意识到这个加勒比小岛竟然是这个新世界的诞生地。在这里你可以看到北半球的第一个教堂、第一间医院、第一座房屋等等。这个城市是由哥伦比亚和他的家人的建立的,很漂亮,你可以和酒店导游一起,也可以自己去殖民区,一个导游会来找到你。我推荐你买一张殖民区地图和一本好的导游书,自己去参观那些景点。酒店的导游很贵,大概要273-375元人民币,街头的导游从来不报价,但是可能会给你一些错误的信息。拿着一张地图你自己就能轻松的到处参观,如果你找不到一张殖民区的地图,那里的任何商店都会免费地给你一张,或者你可以再街上的小摊上买一本导游书。我像大家推荐琥珀博物馆地图或是针纳钙石博物馆地图,它们都是最棒的免费地图。带多一点胶卷因为这些景点都太棒了。

We didn't want to be a part of the big groups of tourists so we decided to go on our own and at our pace. The Chu Chu Train was excellent. In the front car there where Spanish speaking people with a Spanish guide and in the second car with us there where french speaking folks in the back with a young fellow that spoke french and they put us in the front with a taped unit that was in English. The ride cost $12 and lasted almost a hour. This gave us a game plan and we walk the same route the next day and went through all the buildings at our own pace. Took a ton of pictures and met some very friendly folks. We recommend this to anyone that wants to see the abundance of history that Santo Domingo has to offer.

This chu chu train is too short in my opinion but at least they have something for starters. It could be more informative and a little longer than the 15 minutes ride.

I must say I was a little excited to go on the chu chu train and forced my husband to along with me on the ride. To be honest this ride is actually silly. You are divided on separate parts of the car depending on your language preference. After, they have a handheld speaker that narrates all the buildings and sight points. At points its hard to understand what it says. I found it a little fast since it didn't give time to know what building it's talking about and to actually take pictures and appreciate it by they time you do it's already moving on to the next point. The chu chu doesn't stop anywhere so you have to be fast at taking pictures. and at some streets you pass by it multiple times. In the end, after putting my husband through this torture, I didn't appreciate it. It's really not worth it unless you are with someone that is handicap or can't walk much, this can be an option for you. Otherwise hire a walking tour and you'll be able to see and learn more.

Good way to see a couple of the main attractions in the colonial zone. The audio narration was good although this was augmented by a local guide who was mostly unintelligible. For $12 it was an ok way to spend 30min.

The tour last about 45 minutes and it provides very good information of important landmarks in the old city. The employees are very courteous and friendly. The train ride is a bit overpriced but if you are interested in viewing the old city in a short amount of time it is the best way to do it.

We rode the Chu Chu as part of a Santo Domingo Excursion. It was nice to travel the Santo domingo Streets and listen to the guide narrate some important events, land marks etc.After a long day it was fun to just seat and enjoy the trip!

I liked that it went through the most beautiful part of the Colonial Sector. It 's comfortable. The ride did't finish fast. It takes like an hour to go back. I had a good time. Hope you enjoy it as well.

in this train you can see all the attractions in the Colonial Zone without walking around in the heat, and everything will be explained.

We took Chu Chu Colonial as part of Day Trip excursion by Nexus Tours. We had Spanish speakers in our group, but the majority was English speakers. They gave one wagon for 6 persons Spanish speakers and another wagon to around 25 persons English speakers. We found it so cramped, really uncomfortable. There were no space at all and everybody was sweating because of the hot temperature. It's ridiculous, they passed the same route twice moreover. There was no time nor space to take pictures neither. This chu chu was really the worst part of our St Domingo day trip excursion. A walking tour around the colonial area would have been more preferable to us.

Despite not usually enjoying this type of activity it was actually quite pleasant and we got to see a lot of the city in a very short space of time. Would recommend doing early so you get your bearings around the city. One of the street dogs followed us enthusiastically the whole way round and the locals seem pleased to see you riding around on the bus with some waves and smiles rather than resenting you as a tourist as would be the case in some other cities.

Enjoy the old fashioned chu-chu you enjoy in so many parks in the U.S. while touring Colonial Santo Domingo. The cost is nominal and drivers thoroughly versed on the history and points of interest. Enjoy!

A relaxing way to view the historic colonial zone in Santo Domingo. At just 500 RD, it was really inexpensive... Too bad I don't understand a word of Spanish... will have to ride it again with a translator guide next time.
