Jose was a great tour...

Jose was a great tour guide with positive, friendly energy. He guided us through the town taking us to a jewelry museum and chocolate factory before our stop at the beach. It was a great, easy way to explore on our cruise stop and we highly recommend it!

Fabulous Puerto Plata

Phenomenal experience from start to finish! We had a private tour with Joseph Alvarez and he was amazing! On our tour of the country area, we were given a treat by visiting a local farm stand and learning about the indigenous plants, fruits, drinks, and tobacco history of the island. Upon driving to the city, we visited the Rum Factory, a chocolate experience, Amber and Larimar shops, the downtown area with time for photos and stops at Paseo de Doña Blanca and Calle de las Sombrillas and independence plaza. Joseph was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and proud to answer all our questions and share his beautiful home. Due to heavy traffic, we did not visit the beach at Playa Dorada, but stopped at a beach along the Malecon. The beach was not as "picturesque" as the advertised one at Black Jack Tar, but we enjoyed the stop and free time and it also allowed us time to stop at the Fort on the way back. Our only wish was that we had more time to explore and visit this beautiful area. We will definitely be back and could not recommend this tour highly enough!

Excellent Tour (Family Owned)

Jose picked us up inside the port and gave us a wonderful tour of DR. He was with us every step of the way and gave us time to explore. Jose navigated the town with great experience and provided a clean, comfortable, air conditioned van. Highly recommend E & J Tours.

Okay, But Too Much Selling

The tour was only okay. The driver was difficult to understand. He took us to a rum factory, a chocolate factory, and an amber store, all of which were attempting to sell their products. He then took us to a nice beach and restaurant. Too much solicitation of sale for our liking.

Operator response

Our goal is to provide visitors with an authentic experience of Puerto Plata, which includes stops at local rum, chocolate, and amber producers. While these locations do offer products for sale, there is never any obligation to purchase, and we understand that this style of tour may not be for everyone. We also apologize if communication with your driver was difficult at times. We continually work with our team to improve the experience for all guests and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the beach and restaurant stop, and we thank you for your honest feedback as it helps us improve our tours.

Great service/experience but vendors nog so much!!

Joseph was amazing! Very accommodating and friendly loved his country and gave us great pointers for next time. We did not like how pushy the vendors were in the countryside except Julian!! Man he was amazing! But others did not give us room to look. Also beware of those asking you if you want pictures as they were trying to push for us to pay them more. It was very uncomfortable.

Operator response

This is a very honest opinion, thanks for sharing it with us ♥️
