Tour Privado Por La Ciudad De Puerto Plata Y Comida Dominicana

Our cruise stopped in Puerto Plata on March 24th. I had prearranged a city tour since this was our first time visiting. We had Frank as our guide and I can’t say enough good things about him! You can tell he loves his city and I think he knows everyone! Frank is a true gem and definitely was the highlight of our trip. And I’m still talking about the yummy food I had at the restaurant! A time was had! LOL I will definitely book again when we return to this beautiful city.

This was supposed to be a private tour but the company was over booked so we had the pleasure of spending the day with a lovely gentleman and his daughter. We all moved at the same pace and they were very friendly. It was really nice to have a great group to travel with. We got to see the main things in Puerto Plata and even got to make a couple of local stops for some fruit and snacks.

We had the absolute best experience touring Puerto Plata with Alfredo! He was punctual, accommodating, friendly, and so much fun to be around. Alfredo made sure we saw all the best sights, enjoyed delicious local food, and experienced the real charm of the area. His knowledge and enthusiasm made our day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommend him to anyone visiting Puerto Plata!

Alfredo was an incredible host in Puerto Plata! He shared the rich history and vibrant culture of the Dominican Republic with such warmth and passion, both through his storytelling and amazing food. His kindness, energy, and attention to detail made my first trip here truly special. I’d give this tour more than five stars if I could!

Alfredo was a terrific guide! We experienced a mix of local culture, food, and scenery. We were able to call an audible and grab some excellent empanadas, and still fit in everything we wanted to see and do. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

Driver and tour guide were very friendly, knew the island and made recommendations based upon our interests. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

D.R. Everything in the tourist spots is negotiable, best prices are in town at the big local shopping spots, worth a uber or taxi to do a weeks shopping there first, resorts are 2x or more expensivie, USD is Best, CDN can convert at hotel so have to decicide which is smarter, we took both. USD accepeted everywhere. Off resort, prices are 50% less. Hope this helps. :)

We were immediately disappointed with this tour when we expected our driver to be Alfredo but was instead someone else. We requested our tour to be in English and he spoke zero English. Luckily we had one of us who could speak enough Spanish to get started. I sent a message to the tour company and after the first stop which was the rum factory, they sent a guide who spoke some English to go along with the driver. That helped some but the tour had no history or feel for the island. We mostly were taken to stores for shopping among the guides friends. We did not follow the tour as described on Viator or did we stop at all sites. The lunch provided was passable but it felt rushed as they put it at the end and the guide left us there and the driver returned us to the port. We liked this port when we visited before but were disappointed this time.

My husband and I had a great day with Alfredo. We enjoyed really fun and unique experiences. I would book this tour again!

Whilst the driver and itinerary were good the guide was not great - he was late, complained the whole time, didn’t share any of the history or info we were hoping for and answered questions with one word answers. Lunch was also not at the place listed and was pretty ordinary tbh. Sadly would not recommend.
