So much fun!

Had an absolutely amazing day with Ismael as he took us to see the monkeys and around the city. Lots of fun tasting rum, chocolate, and coffee! His knowledge and personality were top notch and we couldn’t have asked for anything better for our day in Puerta Plata. Will definitely book with him again the next time we are here.

We had Ismael as our private driver and tour guide on a visit that corresponded with a holiday. It was clearly worthwhile to have a local expert take us around to sites and a delicious restaurant that were open. I would have been scrambling if I had tried to come up with a day’s worth of itinerary!

Skip the hassle and book this customizable tour!

This is the tour to take! It’s customizable and the tour guide is on your time, not the company’s which was pleasant as we were not on a timetable and could spend as much or little time at each stop we chose. The tour also includes an included authentic lunch at a local restaurant. Elvis was an awesome tour guide and very popular too! Everyone knew him at every stop we went and each person spoke highly of him. He always made sure we were seeing what we wanted, if we were doing good with the stops, and was accommodating when changing things up slightly due to an overly tired 4 year old. He and the company are highly recommended!

Great Experience/Highly Recommend!

This was a last minute decision to consider Viator options after we were already IN port. We were very lucky and found ISMAEL. Based on + reviews we hoped to talk to him about our needs. (Communication was via WhatsApp.) We wanted to have flexibility on itinerary/AC in car/and English speaking driver. ISMAEL quickly found ELBIN for us. ELBIN was courteous, knowledgable, thoughtful and considerate. Exactly what we needed! We enjoyed our time together very much! PS-The meal and service at Coma en Familia was icing on the cake! Thank you both again for the last minute help, and for working with us to meet our specific needs.
