The entire trip was nice and calm, and we felt taken care of from beginning to end. The guide, Sammy, was amazing and made our whole group feel like family. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience truly unforgettable and well worth the price.

Mostly a tour of local businesses

Was a quick tour to various tourist traps - mostly to places where they gave you a little information, say about making rum or different types of native stones, and then tried to sell you stuff. I don't think it was at all worth the money.

5/5 For the tour and our guide!

This was just the right amount of history and shopping. We saw so many sites and felt safe the entire time! Our guide, Fransisco, was funny, patient with our slower members of the group, and very proud to show off the DR sites. I absolutely recommend this tour, but please know walking is involved! 5/5!

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.
