Unique city tour with Carlos

We booked the city tour from home. When Carlos picked us up at the hotel, we thought other guests would join us, but instead we had a private tour. It was unique, he showed us so much, helped us, and explained things. We would recommend the tour to everyone. Carlos accommodated our wishes and let us experience great moments.

Puerta Plata Perfection!

Francisco was our tour guide. He is incredibly well loved in Puerto Plata, and as a result, you have an incredible tour. He took us everywhere. He kept us hydrated and happy. He was so flexible when we decided we wanted to change the itinerary a bit.. He even encouraged my son to go to the fort which give us a beautiful view of the ship and a nice family moment. 5 stars!!!! Highly recommend.
