Excellent tour! - My mother and I truly enjoyed the Puerto Plata City Tour, as it is our first time visiting the Dominican Republic on her birthday. Our tour guides Mara and Sexy Papichulo were excellent! They combined a bit of humor along with factual history which kept the tour interesting. Mara is a very sweet and personable young lady. We felt safe in the city and Sexy Papichulo was a wonderful driver. It was a hot day and the cold drinks they provided on the van definitely felt refreshing. I would recommend the Puerto Plata City Tour to those interested in learning about the rich and colorful history Puerto Plata!

Rosario is amazing! Great tour! - We had a great time with Rosario! He is very knowledgeable and more than willing to answer any and all questions you may have. He took us to all of the best stops in Amber Cove. His van is very comfortable and clean. He goes way above and beyond!

Great tour, wonderful company to work with, a great alternative to typical shore-ex tours. - This is an excellent city tour run by a small company that is very professional and supportive. We were able to book the tour and communicate with Rosario thru whatsapp, because there was some uncertainty about our actual docking time at Taino Bay. No problem. We received a wonderful, very personal tour, saw all the sights advertised for Puerto Plata, felt very comfortable throughout. Mara was an excellent, knowledgeable guide, and Rosario drove our van. It was a very enjoyable morning experience, highly recommended. We met them just outside the port, so allow for a 10-15 minute walk, because it's a bit larger than expected, with shops, restaurants, tiki bars, swimming places, and exhibits.

Such an amazing day! - My daughter & I had so much fun with our guides Elizabeth & Miguel yesterday! They were so nice & very friendly, they made us feel right at home! They provided us with ice cold bottled water to cool us off, after each stop because it was very hot and humid. We were able to see so much of the island in the short amount of time we had to explore. First, we went to the Rum Factory and learned how they make the rum, then we headed to umbrella street and then Pink street where there was an adorable little monkey that my daughter held and we took some beautiful pictures. Then, we stopped by the cathedral and took some photos. After that we stopped by a beautiful jewelry store, and then, the chocolate factory where we learned how they make their chocolate and cocoa butters, etc. We got to sample some delicious chocolate and got some beautiful souvenirs to bring home to our friends and family. Next, we headed to the beach, where we rented an umbrella and chairs and had lunch right there on the sand with some very nice local folks! We were gifted beautiful anklets from one of the sweetest vendors, named Gina in booth number 25. She has some beautiful handmade jewelry and other items there for sale. We bought a gorgeous Larimar necklace! There was a very nice man who made my daughter a beautiful bracelet with her name on it out of yarn, right on the beach by hand in less than 20 minutes. The last stop was at a local restaurant called Empanadas Grill and we got to experience some authentic empanadas, they were so delicious! We made it back to Amber Cove with plenty of time to spare and we were able to walk around and enjoy the shops there in the port and take some pictures at the different locations they have there. All in all, I’d rate this experience 10 out of 10! If you’re ever in the area and want to explore the island, book with Elizabeth & Miguel! You won’t regret it!!!

BOOK THIS! Best Cruise Tour - Excellent Value with Mr. Rosario at DSRR! - Our group of 2 couples booked this tour thru Viator, with pick up at Amber Cove port (where our cruise ship docked). The tour company is DSRR ExceptCust Tours, headed by Mr. Rosario. I would book with DSRR again and again. They truly exemplify "customer first"! Excellent value; friendly, professional, accommodating staff; comprehensive tour of Puerto Plata City. Owner Rosario, our tour guide Mara, and our van driver clearly wanted to please us in every way possible. They gave clear directions on when and where to meet after leaving the ship. Mara was cheerful, knowledgeable, fun, and sincerely desired to share her love of her country with each of us. Admission prices were included in our tour price, including ALL of these stops: Macorix House of Rum, Cathedral of St. Philip, Paseo de Dona Blanca (pink alley), playing dominoes with Mara at Umbrella Street Bar 1920, complimentary beverages in the DSRR van, Del Oro Chocolate Factory, Fort San Felipe, and local shops. Mara and Rosario made sure we returned to our ship in ample time before its departure from Amber Cove. Highest recommendation!

Great Tour and Friendly Staff - Lilo and Mara were amazing tour guides!!! They were so friendly and helpful and provided drinks for us in the van. My husband and I were brought to the front of the line of the tours for the rum factory and chocolate factory. During the tour to see the umbrella street, Mara took us to experience one of the local favs...playing dominoes! It was such a great experience for my husband and I as we enjoyed every minute of our tour. Thank you Lilo and Mara for such a great day and til we see you again!!!
