Good morning everyone, my name is Malena and I'm going to be your guide for this guided tour of Saint Domingue in the colonial zone. I am delighted to take you along on this tour of this city. We are going today to visit some importants monuments of this zone. there are 4 in all for a short tour. Early-morning visits are preferable because it's quite hot in the afternoon, so to offer you a guided tour that's as pleasant as it is interesting, this tour will last until midday. Even though this is a guided tour with an audio guide, don't hesitate. to ask your guide if you have any questions, he will supervise the tour. Remember to stay well hydrated during your visit and stay in the shade if possible and also stay all together. The Santo Domingo Tourism Office wishes you an excellent and pleasant visit in our beautiful capital. Let’s start with the first monument.
