The alley is a tribute to the founder of the city's first hotel, Hotel Europa. The history of this alley dates back to 1898 when Isidoro Rainieri and Bianca Franceschini, both from Italy, established the Hospedaje del Comercio, which later became the Hotel Europa. Today, the Paseo de Doña Blanca is a vibrant and colorful tourist destination, visited by travelers from all over the world who come to admire its unique beauty and take pictures. Visitors can relax and enjoy the view while sipping on a glass of wine from one of the many restaurants and bars nearby. The alley is conveniently located just a few meters from the famous Umbrella Street, making it easy to find and explore.
Fifi Jewelry Amber Museum is one of the most visited places in Puerto Plata. Inside, it hosts one of the biggest resin exhibitions in the Dominican Republic. The country has the most important amber deposits in the world; moreover, blue, green or warm honey colours are unique from this area due to its volcanic activity. Here, you can discover the history of this vegetal-origin precious stone. One of the most important stones of this museum is a 40cm lizard conserved inside a piece of amber. This resin can hold prehistoric fossils of plants and little animals on its inside due to its sticky nature, that turns this stone in subject of study. It is said that Steven Spielberg was inspired by this museum when he was working on his famous film Jurassic Park.
Puerto Plata's Central Park is a must-visit attraction, renowned as the Plaza of Independence by Dominicans. This beautiful park is a symbol of national pride, built to honor General Luperón who gifted the park to Puerto Plata when it was the Dominican capital. Its prime location offers easy access to various historical buildings, including the Cathedral of San Felipe Apóstol, the Casa de la Cultura, and the Municipal Town Hall. Moreover, the park's lively atmosphere makes it the perfect place to immerse yourself in Dominican culture and enjoy local cuisine and beverages from the surrounding restaurants and bars.
The San Felipe Fortress is an impressive Spanish fort located in the north of the island of Hispaniola, in the province of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Built in 1577 by Rengifo de Angulo, it served as a prison for notable figures throughout history, including the famous patriot Juan Pablo Duarte. Today, the fortress has been converted into a museum showcasing its important role in the history of Puerto Plata and the Dominican Republic. Visitors can enjoy the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from its strategic hilltop location known as "Puntilla del Malecón."

It was a good tour. A lot of people and very hot. The monkeys were a bit much for me, but my daughter and nephew loved it! It was some walking.
We sincerely appreciate your wonderful review! Knowing that you had a great experience with our service means everything to us. Thank you for your trust, and we hope to see you again very soon!
Great day with Rafael! He took us to see the monkeys at Monkey Home, there they show you their plantations, how they make cigars, tasting coffee and chocolate and the interaction with the monkeys was great. Rafael was a great guide throughout the day, he speaks 6 different languages and is extremely kind. Thank you to him for this beautiful day we spent.

This excursion was great. Rafeal was our tour guide and he exceeded our expectations. He even took me to the pharmacy to get medication for my allergies 🫶🏽. Once we arrived at Monkey land Chandler was such a great host and worked so well with the monkeys. They were well behaved, and gentle. I definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun time.

We really enjoyed this excursion. Nestor was a great guide & was very knowledgeable. He made sure we did all the things we wanted to do & offered to take our pictures wherever we went. Our kids loved the monkey encounter. Everyone was so kind and the monkeys were great. We had a hiccup with getting the pictures we purchased, but customer service from this company moved quickly when we mentioned our disappointent & we had our pictures within a few hours. We definitely recommend! :)
e truly appreciate your understanding regarding the picture delivery and are happy we could resolve it quickly for you. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’d be honored to welcome you again on your next visit to the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
Went with family & really enjoyed our guide, but there were lots of gnats in the van & we never revived a water or soda like the ticket said. We loved the monkeys but w got talked into buying the pictures they took, paid cash for a 'deal' & never received our pictures. We were told we'd receive a link to a Dropbox (never received) so we emailed them & they said they would resend. Didn't receive so they said they'd send it via another app. We installed it, waited, reached out & nothing. Enjoy the experience - don't buy the pictures (& definitely not with cash). I reached out to chat with Viator customer support but they couldn't tell me the name of the monkey place we went so I could leave a review or how to get in touch with them. That was also disappointing. I'd double triple check everything before booking with Viator again. :/
We are sorry to hear your comment, we apologize for the inconvenience with the water and soda, as for the photos please provide us an email for sending the pictures, we will contact the supplier of the overalls directly, or please write to WhatsApp at this number +1 809-841-0876
Nestor was an excellent guide and the monkeys were so much fun. The monkeys were fun and well behaved. Our kids and the adults enjoyed it.
