Incredible day in Puerto Plata
This was an EXCELLENT tour! Our family lived our day and all the stops. We were picked up at our resort and our guide took great care of us, explaining everything along the way.
Our interaction with the squirrel monkey greatly exceeded our expectations. We were fortunate to be just our family and another couple, so had plenty of time with the monkeys.
Our guide then took us to Puerto Plata, stopping for fresh mangoes along the way. He shows us all the top sighting and provided great insight. He also took plenty of amazing photos for us, from the city view to Pink Street and more!
Highly recommend this tour. A wonderful few hours of cultural visit that also include the monkey interactions!

We hope this adventure is just the first of many with us. Thank you!

Fun tour and monkey encounter!
Junior, our guide, was very friendly and a safe driver!
The monkeys were adorable! The rum and chocolate was yummy, what more could you ask for?
Only confusion was getting picked up to start the tour, but after that it was all easy!

Our FAVORITE excursion
HANDS DOWN the best excursion and experience we could have asked for 🙌! Luis was our driver and such a knowledgeable, nice guy. He tailored the tour to our needs & crowds. We had a 5 year old with us and we all had a blast. His communication is immediate and helpful.
The monkey tour was amazing - its on a plantation and such a cool place. They let you sample their own chocolate and coffee. Cigars are hand-rolled on site. There's a large shop with lots of items including their own home grown items.
Downtown area has lots of picture spots and shopping.
The chocolate factory is really interesting.
It was a beautiful way to spend the day and see the city and mountainside. Highly recommend!
Wonderful, private tour for our family
Thank you!

Don’t miss out on this one.
Our driver alfardeo was great. We gave us such a great tour. He treated my family like it was his. He never rushed us one bit. His knowledge of his country was incredible. The monkeys were fantastic with lots of time too. Mario at the monkeys was great. I would do this again for sure. Skip the cruise excursions and book with this company. They pick you up and drop you off in the port.

thank you so much!!
