Edgar Tours - We actually had Edgar as a tour guide He was great, very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended as we had a private tour and he let us know the stops and we could arrange as we want it! We had several stops and he was very patient as we entered several shops we want it to check and buy articles. He shared with us the history of the country and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend Edgar tours we had a great time during our visit

Edgar was Amazing! - Edgar was awesome! He was waiting for us when we disembarked the ship. We had someone messaging us to keep us and Edgar updated so that we didn't worry about finding him. He had a very nice, super clean and comfortable van. The air conditioning worked great and he was happy to use it for us. You have him all to yourself so you don't have to worry about other people in the group and how long others want to be at a stop. He showed us everything we wanted and more. He had drinks for us and was very nice. He even gave us an unexpected gift at the end of our tour. He was great! We highly recommend him.

Excellent Experience - Very happy we booked this tour. Edgar García made our day trip to Puerto Plata a memorable one. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and professional. His family has been in the business for decades. We traveled with our two small girls and he made sure to go out of his way to make it enjoyable for them as well.

We HIGHLY Recommend Edgar's Tour! - Edgar was AWESOME! He was waiting for us when we got off the ship. He had been there early. He took us to all the highlights and places that we wanted to go. It was private, so just my husband and I and not with 50 other people. His van was very nice, very comfortable and great air conditioning. He had drinks for us, gave us great information and we enjoyed our day with him. We highly recommend him! If you are on a ship, Edgar knows all the times of arrival and departure and makes sure you are back in plenty of time to get back on the ship. He even gave us the sweetest present at the end!

Great Tour of Puerto Plata with Edgar - We had a wonderful tour of Puerto Plata DR with Edgar. He picked us up right at the cruise port gates, holding a placard with our name so he was easy to spot. His minivan was clean and roomy. There would easily have been even room for 6 or 7 in his vehicle but on this particular day it was just my wife and I on the tour. Edgar asked us several times what we would like to see, but he had planned such a nice itinerary for us that it was nice to just sit back, relax and take it all in. We never felt rushed as he proceeded to show us all of the interesting sights in Puerto Plata, including the Rum factory, Amber jewelry manufacturing, cigar rolling demo, umbrella street, pink house, cathedral, central plaza, chocolate factory, fortress, mountain views and just typical everyday activities by the residents of Puerto Plata. We felt safe and secure and Edgar was pleasant, professional and personable in every way. If you are visiting Puerto Plata and want a great experience and tour guide, then you should definitely book a tour with Edgar Private Tour.
