4 hours of Puerto Plata Experience - Mr. Fabio picked us up from the resort and showed us the city i.e. macorix rum factory, choco factory, fort, and the church as well as umbrella street and pink street. Tour was approximately 4 hours but can be less. Mr. Fabio never rushed anyone while they were looking for jewelry. Also, Mr. Edwin himself came to greet us which was very kind. Good times indeed

Edwin's tours will not disappoint! - We did a city tour with Edwin as our guide and he was terrific! Throughout the tour you could tell he was very proud of his country. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He answered every question we had. Later in our vacation we used Edwin's taxi service and, again, the service was very prompt and courteous. I highly recommend Edwin's tours and taxi service!!!

Excellent tour company and tour guide - This tour was Absolutely wonderful. They were super attentive accommodating to our group and very helpful. They added a stop as we removed a stop in order to accommodate the desires of the group. The rum distillery was awesome we’ll do it again. The chocolate factory was a disappointment not the fault of the tour guide or tour Company it’s not a factory it’s a sales pitch to buy their stuff. Literally a small store front room where they have you taste some of their products not even all of them don’t explain to you any history how it’s made there is no factory there is nothing that simulates a process it’s just here’s a couple of things that taste here’s our store so you can buy stuff would not do that again and I would take that out of the tour actually! The actual tour guides were easy to spot please keep in mind it is a very long walk from the exit of the ship to get to the part where the excursion people are waiting for you. But the tour company was excellent their guides were excellent and I would use them again.

Worth the price! - Overall a really fun experience. It’s heavily focused on shopping and they coral you to various small shops but all and all, it was worth it. The tour guide was great and they made us feel safe and watched over. We can off of a cruise ship, and the walk through the port is about 10 minutes to where they pick you up. For those of you reading this that are coming off of a cruise, the Taino Bay cruise port itself is an awesome port of call and honestly could spend all day there alone.

I would recommend. Knowledgeable & friendly people - We visited on a cruise. Once ship was docked we got off and walked through the gates of the amber cove port. We did have to ask for directions to the highway but once we were in the correct direction, we followed the walk way to the main gates and found Samuel easy. (Was holding sign). Samuel and Edwin were great tour guides. They are very friendly and knowledgeable. It is not a private tour but the others we were with were friendly and we were all one happy family. I would recommend this excursion to any who visit the area.

Perfect City Tour! - This was an awesome day that exceeded our entire families expectations. We had a last minute port change due to a hurricane and so I went online looking for a fun way to make lemonade out of lemons. We loved all of the stops on our city tour, our guide, and beautiful Puerto Plata. None of us had been there before and we are so happy that the universe brought us there (if only for a day). All 7 of us would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to know more about this beautiful city and country while enjoying its authenticity.
