Thanks so much for the support! Make sure to hit that SUBSCRIBE button and PLEASE LIKE this video because that really helps me out so much! Here's my last Dominican Video in case you missed it! czcams.com/video/qVKEMUPALVU/video.html
Colonial zone prices are wayyyy higher than any other areas in the city since is a tourist destination. In order to get the real Dominican experience when it comes to food & cheap prices, you must leave that area.
Oh yeah forsure! Made this video this way, as most tourists will find themselves in this general area! ❤️
Santo Domingo is a kind of special place because you can find everything in just one city, Culture , old world and also modern city :) including beaches and rivers.
Thanks for bringing back good memories of my time in Santo Domingo. I stayed in an all-inclusive resort but also took a city tour there. Popular destination for the Canadians.
I’ve been to the same cafe, and the gentleman who helped you find the battery showed me around parts of Zona Colonial this past February. Everyone was very welcoming. A modest tip does go along way. I didn’t have the 28% tourist tax when I was there four months ago.
Great video Chris
There is no tourist tax, that tax is called ITEBIS, and is a sales and services tax paid by everyone in the country for the goods, and services for which it applies (Basically everything). So no, there's no special tax on the tourists. Also; it's an insular nation, meaning on an island, thus many things are imported, and for that reason expensive. Also, 1 US dollar is equivalent to a little over 50 Dominican pesos, unlike Venezuela or Colombia, where one dollar is thousands or a million in local currency. I'd advise you to also visit the actual modern city. The colonial zone is gorgeous, but is a bubble, only some 2 square kilometers in a city which is the largest in the Caribean Islands, and Central America, with a population of over 3 million. So truth be told, just visiting the colonial city is in no way knowing the country or even the city.

Great 👍 video 📹 Chris
Saludos Chris!! Des Texas ,, great video 👍👍👍
Saludos bro!!! 🙏🏻💪🏻
The colonial zone is the touristy area of Santo Domingo and of course you are going to find higher prices. I don't think is fair to compare the prices here to everywhere in the country. Regular Dominicans and tourist s don't pay even close to those prices in other areas of the country..
Thanks a lot bro, definitely aware of that! Just used it as the primary area of the video since that is where 95% of tourists that visit Santo Domingo spend their time! 🙃
The Grand has changed and upgraded in the last few years. It used to be called Paco's for many years with a more casual setting and menu
Nice, thanks 🥰
New here! Thanks for the video! Hopefully you had a cold Presidente! 🍺
Thank you so much! I definitely did!!! Had a few 🤩
Hola¡¡¡ se ve riiiicoooo el mangu, el queso frito es sabroso,Cuidate, un abrazoooo¡¡¡
Estaba tan delicioso! Gracias por el apoyo siempre Norma!
That breakfast is everything
Uuuffff you're not lying! 🙏🏻❤️
I am very interested in this area so thank you Chris for doing the video. The only thing that seemed like a letdown was the prices there were basically the prices here but inflation and covid probably all have affected prices of goods but ty again
Thanks a lot Justin! Very beautiful country with a lot to offer forsure! I need to go back and visit for a longer time!
Good place for retirement

Saludos bho desde Venezuela 🇻🇪 siempre. 👏👏👏
Saludos bro!!!
Buen video.
Muchas gracias! Eres de la República Dominicana?
I travelled to Punta Cana from the UK & absolutely loved it. I was however advised that it is not safe to go off the resort. However, watching your videos it looks great as I feel I didn’t get to experience the real DR life & I’ll have to return back!! Just need to brush up on my Spanish skills too!!!
Pretty safe just have common sense and don’t be out late at night
They always say is not safe! But once you go out the first time you everything you've been missing! Is really safe
🤩🤩🤩 Santo Domingo...that's where Pedro, Chantel's husband comes from.
@11:24 you just said it oh man...good! Hence the name Mangú 😉
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support Eddie! Means a lot to me!
@@Travelwithchris of course bro, great work and wish you the best.
Honestly I live in CT USA & that is pretty cheap compared to how much things are out here right now. Thank you 🙏
Yes forsure! The states are ridiculously expensive!
We can't do better and stop saying that Cristobal Colon discovered America. We can say that He was the first European to visit and settled in America, In this case the Bahamas and then settled in Dominican republic. He didn't discovered anything. Can I be the first Dominican to visit India and then, Say that I discovered India??
Thanks so much Eddie! I agree!
Europeans had no knowledge about this continent, you discover something when you don't know anything about it, it was not on maps or anything, after the Europeans came the map was modified and new roads were built and everything and the whole world knew about this continent, it was a mutual discovery, the natives discovered white people and white people discovered natives.
your videos are cool bro but you gotta be more careful lol dont be oblivious DR is wild you were in a safer area
How to rent a 1 bed room apartment there? Maybe relocating would sounds nice
$20 would get me an Uber ride in Chicago a block away.. no food
😂😂😂 same in LA!
There's no such thing as a tourist tax. That 18% is ITBIS and its a tax for goods and services and everybody has to pay it every time they consume or buy a good or service, including dominicans and non tourists. It has always existed.
Thank you for clarifying that!
That’s Plaza España! And Plaza Colon! Intue capital ❤️ I was there about 2 weeks ago! It’s beautiful at night too! In Punta Cana you can haggle a bit and pay a 15% tax sometimes
Wow super crazy! Thanks for that tip! I hope you enjoyed it! Where are you from?
@@Travelwithchris haha that little 3% can be used for a nice cold Presidente! I’m from Lima, Peru. It’s my second time in DR, been here for a month and flying back to Peru next week
Que maravilloso! Quiero aprender Español Dominicano, adonde puedo ir?
klk, necesita pa buscar un profe
I am going to Santo Domingo is it best to take a Uber ? And where would I go to exhange money any tips would help thanks
Yes Uber is great and I always just withdraw cash at the atm when I arrive in a country
Loved this collaboration! To be clear, the monument was finished in 1992 in time for the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery. My brain fog was serious here!
So did I man! Thanks so much for helping me out!
thank you cause i was like "1492?" lol.
@@marlak4203 cant believe I didn't catch it, but hey, that's stage fright for ya :)
@@FunSizeHistory
hehe, yes.
Your comment should be pinned or the video should have been edited showing correction. But oh well.
Bueno lovely they charge more you have to bet then down on the streets
Crazy about the 18% tourist tax..didn’t really think that was a thing there. How do they distinguish who gets taxed that if you happen to fit in
I don't think they have a proper system, i think it just goes by regions!
Its not a tourist tax, its called ITBIS and its a tax they charge for goods and services and everybody pays it, dominicans and tourists. Its not specific to tourists.
🙏🏻🇩🇴❤️
🙏🏻
Can you give me an estimate of how much taxi driver would charge from Santo Domingo to Puerto Plata plz n thx
To be honest I don't know, but expensive lol every taxi ride there was expensive
Estoy activo en los 2 canales
When eating mangu you need to eat it mixed, that’s is how we domincans eat it.
Ahahah now I know! Thank you! 💪🏻❤️
Reminds me of Cape Verde beautiful country!!!
Dominican republic has very beautiful beach
Bro I hope you visit to my country I know for the Americans are iranian Visa situation is difficult but as far as I know kish island and qeshem island are without visa even for Americans
But main country you can applying but I think easiest compare to Venezuelan visa ❤
Thanks so much! I hope I get to visit yours soon also!
Sorry no se Ingles pero igual lo veo para apoyarte
Ahajaja muchas gracias ❤️💪🏻
They sometimes over charge tourist you have to beat the price down
Yes very true
I’m next I’m going to Dominican Republic May 2022 it my first time 😁
You're going to love it! Hope you subscribed, I have a few mlre vids from there on the way!
Please just do don't stay in the capital city the Dominican Republic is so much more, you will be glad you did
I speak limited spanish. can i make it visiting Santo Domingo
Oh yeah forsure! 🙏🏻
Thanks ... Skipping 28% tax for sure
If i understand well, you go to a restaurant for tourists witn high prices ( off course) and you generalize this fact for the whole country ???
Man that 28% tax kills it for me, DR may be on the pass list for me at least for now. 😂
Seriously lol taxing hard!
He said the faro was finally finished un 1492...He meant 1992.
Yes he corrected that her in the comment section! Thanks for watching! ❤️
@@Travelwithchris Yes of course! Sorry for the mistake :)
I came looking for this, bc I remember when they finished I was 12yrs old so I was confused like 1492 what🤪
@@m.aquino1317 🤣
This place was expected to be this Eiffel Tower like thing for the D.R. Has potential but is underused. Shame..
great video but seems so over priced especially for those exchanging rands to dollars
Very over priced! Thanks so much!
And that tax has now made my decision 😂😂 to Antioquia I go
Bello bebé love U 😍😍😍😍 hermoso. Me encantaría conocerte. Eres super dulce😘
🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 dile si al dominicano 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

I thought the fried cheese was french toast

@@Travelwithchris I would of been satisfied with either one but that fried cheese sounds interesting
Exchange rates were better last year
How can Columbus discover a place that have people already.
🤓
Thanks for explaining about the food but Dominicans say they are not black😂😂 but we know they African descendants

Thank you for the video. So the tourst spots are more and the local joints are cheaper?
