The experience of climbing the 4 summits was very challenging in every way, we had always wanted to go but we had never had the opportunity.
The communication with Luis was super fluid, helpful and willing!
Already on the trip, the group was a real treat, the group was very diverse, with good energy but all with the same interest: to climb Pico Yaque, Pico Duarte, La Pelona and La Rusilla.

To complete the feat with this group was a great privilege. Teamwork, willingness and companionship were part of our daily routine. As for Pico Duarte Tours, EVERYTHING was excellent, good organization, comfort, good food and they took care of every detail. Rubio our guide was also excellent!

We came back from our last one… the Salkantay trek after only 1 day (we were supposed to stay for 5 days but the service was sooo bad & conditions dangerous because we felt physically sick). Honestly… hiking in other places has really made us aware of how VIP your Pico Duarte hike was. Good memories for life!

Thanks so much for everything. You have gone beyond the call of duty. Excellent service. You made us feel not as customers but family

The VIP trip to Pico Duarte with Luis Franco is one of the most memorable experiences I have as an individual and within my family. I’ve had the opportunity to visit Pico several times with him, and the adventure has been first-rate.

I want to highlight, regarding Luis and his team, besides all the details they arrange and embellish to make this experience unique, their professionalism, attention to detail, punctuality, environmental care, interaction with local monitors and guides, and the process of instilling in each participant an awareness of taking care of our nature, enjoying it, living it, and feeling proud of the Dominican Republic. The atmosphere on every trip has been wholesome and filled with camaraderie. I look forward to returning every year for many years to come.

Going on an excursion with Luis and his team is super convenient – everything is taken care of! Luis is attentive to everything and everyone, and the team is very friendly and accommodating. I have traveled on several occasions with Luis, and everything has always been very well organized. Moreover, they tailored the menu to my special dietary requirements!

Going on an excursion with Luis Franco and his team allowed us to enjoy our vacation to the fullest, in places brimming with nature far from the chaos of the city. With Luis, we don’t have to worry about planning and preparing meals, setting up the camp, or the logistics these trips require. They have all that aspect well taken care of.

For the past 3 years, young teenagers from the Liceo Francés de Santo Domingo, accompanied by their teachers, have been living a fantastic and unforgettable adventure on Pico Duarte. The organization of Pico Duarte Tours provides all the necessary safety and excellence guarantees for these trips. It is always a pleasure to collaborate with Luis Franco on these adventures.

I had the experience to climb Pico Duarte with Luis Franco and team. It was a formidable experience. Luis is very knowledgable in planning and preparing for such trips and provides amenities such as comfortable mattresses, good quality sleeping bags, excellent food, portable showers, snacks and water readily available at all times, nice staff, sufficient mules and a doctor. This physically challenging adventure was made possible and enjoyable for me thanks to this wonderful team. I highly recommend them!
