“The tour was modified due to cable car maintenance as we drove up the mountain. Beautiful views from the mountain top and our tour guide, Carlos, took some very neat pictures of us. We visited the rum factory for rum sampling after the mountain visit. Amber Museum was the next stop before our lunch stop at a quaint restaurant. Carlos modified the tour at our request and our wonderful driver, Max, drove us safely back to the cruise ship. We had an enjoyable day.”
Review of Puerto Plata’s 3-hour city tour, with rum, chocolate, amber, cigars, historic sights, port pickup, value, and practical tips.
“This booking was created by a taxi driver who isn't associated with any tourism , which led to many suspicious things. The driver did not offer any water, sodas etc that were part of the above package. He did not speak English, which led to more confusion and hectic. Had to loop in local port officials to get the authenticity of the driver, and as we have already prebooked the service and couldn't cancel on the day, just went with it. Highly disappointed with the experience.”

Puerto Plata private tour review covering the fort, rum, chocolate, amber, cigars, transport, flexibility, price, and practical port tips.
“This tour was supposed to be a group tour but we were the only ones on it. Rather than cancelling the tour, the company honored it an our guide Edgar showed us a fantastic time. Rather than taking advantage of the fact that two people can be shown things faster, he kept a leisurely pace and showed us the beautiful sites of Puerta Plata. We had a fantastic time and Edgar was an awesome tour guide who shared lots of insights into the town, the country and the people.”

“We had a fantastic experience on our family excursion in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Our tour guide, Eriel, was amazing—extremely knowledgeable about the area and genuinely dedicated to making sure we saw everything we were interested in. He took the time to explain the history and culture of the city, and his patience was truly appreciated, especially while we explored different shops at our own pace. The entire tour was enjoyable, relaxing, and very well organized. We highly recommend this excursion and highly recommend Eriel as a guide!”
