Half Day Puerto Plata City Tour and Monkey Home Visit

This tour was so much fun. Yeury was a great driver. He gave lots of information about the area. The time at Monkey Home was fabulous! The monkeys are so light and soft. The people at the sanctuary are very friendly and take great care of the animals. It is evident they love what they do. The photos taken by the staff were so good. It began to rain heavily while in Puerto Plata and he took great care of us, ushering us into a great local eatery to wait out the storm. He made sure each of us were having a good time and asked if we needed anything or wanted anything specific while on the tour. He recommended a local place for lunch for part of the group.. I would highly recommend this tour and Yeury as your driver and guide.

Excellent driver and very helpful. Enjoyed it very much. Yurei was the best.

If you are in Puerto Plata, you need to book with this group. They are top notch. This is my second tour with Aribel and Yeury Tours. My guide was Leury and he was excellent. We went to all the beautiful places and even visited a butterfly garden and monkey home. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the area and all the things we did. I highly recommend this tour and when we go back, I'll do it again. Umbrella Street is awesome. I really can't name a favorite.

Yeury provided exceptional service to my daughter and me when we visited the Monkey House and did the Puerta Plata City Tour. He was on time, made sure we didn't spend unnecessary funds, and ensured we had a great experience seeing the city and capturing photo memories.

We found this excursion at the last minute & so thankful we did. Everything was perfect. They picked us up promptly and took us on a great day full of fun. We loved the squirrel monkeys! This is worth the money & time.

I booked this for a group of 17 (all ages). Barney communicated multiple times on where to meet, what to do, etc. The bus was clean and the AC was cold! The guide was informative and friendly and our driver (Frances) was excellent . My kids say the monkey home is at the top of their list for our multiple Trip excursions. I would recommend this company and excursion whole heartedly. It was a great experience and we created many memories !

We booked this trip because of the Monkey Sanctuary. We have taken other guided tours in Puerto Plata in the past so we have seen most of the tourist stops. We were cruising and we docked at Amber Cove. The communication from the tour group was very good and we found our tour operator easily. We were met by Andy our driver for the day. We were the only ones for this trip and we were placed in a practically brand new van. Very nice. We drove to see the Monkeys first, and my wife and myself were both pleased. Rustic setting and we entered in with a couple of other smalls groups. Approx 15 people. The staff ensured everyone had multiple touches with the Monkeys. It was great. The staff were fun and accommodating. Gelsy, Alex, and Chander really made the experience special. At the end of course, there was the obligatory stop for a cigar making tutorial but it wasn’t mandatory. Gift shop at the end as well. Here’s comes my favorite part, we were supposed to go to 1. Chocolate factory and then umbrella street and I believe one other place. I asked if we could skip those places and drive around local and then lunch. Andy graciously called his supervisor and automatically received permission. We ended up driving to a small town where Andy lives and we got to see how the locals live. Church, schools, markets, etc.. We then stopped at a small botanical garden, which was very nice. After that, he drove us to the city of Puerto Plata and took us to a very nice open air restaurant right on the beach. I believe it was called the Over Look. The food was very good and the view was fantastic. While there was a bit of a language barrier, Andy the driver was super gracious and accommodating. Overall, very very good trip.

We had a wonderful experience. Only problem is now I want a Spider Monkey of my own, they were so sweet and fun to watch. Leury our driver was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and an enjoyment to show us around. We never felt hurried, he made sure we were always comfortable. It was an extremely warm day, and he let us take our time looking around the old church and plaza while he walked to pick up the vehicle to make sure if was cooled down when he picked us up. He even showed me how to mambo. :) Highly recommend him as a guide.

This was a private tour with my wife and myself. Our tour guide Agapito, took us all over his city. We got to visit and play with squirrel monkeys. This was definitely a highlight of our day. We also visited a chocolate factory where we got to taste and watch how the chocolate was made. We went the Amber museum and the street with many multi-colored umbrellas. We got to view the city from up in the mountains and it was beautiful. All in all it was a great day and I recommend the tour and the guide highly.

the worst part is the walk to the taxi stand. The port should offer a shuttle or golf cart. If you have trouble walking be prepared for a cobble stone pavement and almost a mile walk Our guide Francis was very nice and informative. The monkeys were so much fun and seeing all the parts of Puerta Plata was very interesting
