Family Values!!!

Words cannot express how much we enjoyed Elian of E&J Tours. I would give them 100 stars if I could. Communication was super and the experience was top tier. I traveled a lot and have dealt with a lot of tour operators, and no one comes close to the outstanding customer service my family and I received. If you are spending any time near Amber Cover, please do not hesitate to book with E&J. We even add the privilege of meeting Ms. Wendy, his home. We truly felt like family.

Alex was a wonderful tour...

Alex was a wonderful tour guide! He was very friendly and passionate about his career, which made him a great person to introduce us to the area. We really enjoyed learning from him as he escorted us around Puerto Plata. It was very easy to communicate with the tour operator, and in fact they were extremely flexible as I had originally listed the incorrect port and once I realized and notified the team, they had no issue and met us at the correct port.

Thanks so much for reviewing our service, we had a great day with you as well

An excellent tour in Puerto Plata.

This is an excellent tour to experience the Highlights of Puerto Plata. You can somewhat customize your tour and see what you want. Our guide was Jesus Castro and he provided a great tour experience. He is your driver, guide, security, paparazzi and a whole lot more. We went to all of the places on the itinerary and few other places as well. There are a lot of places to buy ant souvenirs you may want. You can also stop and eat at a restaurant if you wish. Thank you Jesus and E&J Taxi tours for a great time.

You're welcome!!! For us it will always be a pleasure

Henry

Henry was very nice. We were over an hour late because of a different ship time vs. Local and the helpful people at the taxi stand were able to track him down. I've would recommend him. His English is passable but would be beneficial to him to improve upon

Thank you Leslie for helping us and coming to the DR!

Disappointed

Juan was a great guide but ended tour in 2 hours . It was supposed to be a 3 hour tour. Very disappointed.

Operator response

Hi Bonnie, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry if there was any misunderstanding regarding the tour’s duration. The experience began at 10:00 am and finished at 1:00 pm, which covered the full 3 hours, and afterwards José offered additional options that you kindly declined (like to go to the beach or have lunch). We apologize if this caused disappointment and hope to have the chance to welcome you again for an even better experience. Have a great day!
