Amazing Tour
Very knowledgable and knows all the places of interest. Just ask and you'll be surprised at the places he can safely take you. We went from Pink Street, to Cigar Factory, and finally the Malecon. It was worth it.

Vacation
Oliver is a excellent tour guide. He was very patient with us a we took our time site seeing downtown Poerta Plata. He answered all our questions about the history of Poerta Plata. We ate at authentic Domenican restaurants and a lot of socializing with the locals.

This guy is the best!!
From the moment we met Oliver...he treated us like family. Any time of day or night, he would be available for any adventure. Brought us sight seeing, had some drinks and good food with him. Just an awesome guy. Really appreciated everything he did for us.

Five Star Tour
Oliver provides the best tours in the city. I have been back twice due to his phenomenal work. Not only a great tour guide but well connected to the community as well and you can't put a price on that kind of value. I look forward to touring with him again.

Perfect Tour Guide and airport transportation
He was very knowledgeable, fun and easygoing! Also helped us with the natives while we ate and shopped around! Even went the extra mile to make sure the money exchanges were fair with the street vendors.
