We had an absolutely wonderful vacation! Our tour guide Jonathan Tours was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience so much fun. He also took fantastic pictures of us throughout the tour, capturing so many special moments that we’ll always have to remember our trip. He truly went above and beyond to make our vacation memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I want to thank Jonathan for the excellent tour of the city and the visit to the San Felipe Fortress. His kindness, punctuality, and knowledge made the experience very interesting and enjoyable. He explained each place with enthusiasm and was always attentive to ensure everything went well. Thanks to him, I was able to better understand the history and beauty of Puerto Plata. I totally recommend him to those visiting the city. Thank you very much, Jonathan, for your dedication and professionalism!
Jonathan was a great guide. He took us to all the great places and gave us his personal tour throughout the city. Would definitely do it again.
My husband and I had a wonderful day with Jonathan, seeing the sights and learning about the Dominican Republic. He tailored the tour to what we wanted to do. He took us to a beach that was practically empty and had reasonable prices for meals and beach chair rentals. It's my second trip with Jonathan, and I highly recommend him. He is courteous and reliable.
My mom and I did a tour with Jonathan. As women traveling alone it was important for us to have a guide that made us feel safe and comfortable and Jonathan did just that. He customized the tour to match our interests and showed us local hidden gems. He was a safe and courteous driver and we enjoyed our day with him. Would book again and recommend to cruisers visiting Puerto Plata for the day.
Jonathan is a wonderful tour guide. We thought originally that we just booked a cab but it was so much more. He took us to the city and is very knowledgeable about Puerta Plata. He was willing to stop anywhere we wanted. Walking through the city he was showing us places and telling us the meaning. He took us to a cigar factory and my husband was over the moon as he actually got to roll a cigar. We went to a wonderful chocolate shop and explained how it was made. The church was beautiful. We went for lunch at a lovely restaurant called Lalola and the food was amazing and was very reasonable priced. Jonathan is very friendly and we felt like we had known him for years. This was probably the highlight of the vacation. If you are ever in the area book a tour with him you will not regret it. Highly recommend. I would give him 100 stars if I could and the price was amazing.
If I could give Jonathan 1,000 stars, I absolutely would. Our trip was both incredible and educational. Jonathan knew exactly where to take us to truly showcase Puerto Plata. His knowledge of the local history was genuine and fascinating, and you can tell how much he loves his country. I would choose to go on an excursion with him again and again.
incredible character. really a good person. helpful and kind. met by chance outside the harbor getting off a cruise. took us around the beaches and the city not as if we were his customers but his friends. very recommended
Gracias Alberto

Johnathan made us feel like family! He took us to all the major stops for shopping and sight seeing in Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)! We stopped for pictures, comfort, shopping, authentic Dominican food, and of course, the best beach!! It was a super fun time for ages 22 to 76!
