Very Comprehensive Tour of Puerto Plata! - We had a fantastic tour of Puerto Plata. We learned a lot about the city and stopped at some great locations. We got to see and taste some locally made rum, check out local gift shops and tourist attractions, and a local organic chocolatier. I highly recommend this private tour that comes at a very reasonable price!

Awesome tour and guides! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! It was our first time in the DR and we saw so many cultural landmarks and were able to purchase many items to take home. The tour guide and driver were very friendly and personable. We were given ample time to take pictures and ask questions. We even stopped and had lunch at an authentic restaurant. I’d definitely recommend this tour it was great!

Good quick tour - We had to book last minute due to our cruise being rerouted by Hurricane Helene. The tour operator contacted us quickly because they weren't aware of our cruiseline coming that particularly day, which we really appreciated as we could have made an error. They were able to confirm the change, and they contacted us again with a better start time. They also did the tour with us and only one other family since most cruisers apparently booked the cruiseline's excursion, and it was really great to get to have some choice in our itinerary. Like other reviews have mentioned, the chocolate stop really was a shop and not a factory, so we were good with it. Our driver and tour guide were both friendly, and we enjoyed our tour.

Puerto Plata, Playa Dorada. - Very good first experience in that hotel chain (Viva Wyndham) and on that Golden Beach. It is within a very spacious gated neighborhood, with other hotels, golf course, condominiums, Shopping mall, paddle courts, etc. The good beach, although for reasons of physical condition, we ventured to the beach of the Gran Ventana hotel, 1 km distant from ours (calmer waters). Very good swimming pool, entertaining equipment (we were helped a lot by an Argentine girl), short menu but good on the beach, very good at dinner.

Had a great day exploring Puerto Plata - My husband and I took a Puerto Plata City tour with this company and they were great. At first I was a little apprehensive because i was bookinf a tour that was not through the cruise ship but it worked out great. They were right out side the ship docking area waiting for us when we arrived and got us to the ship with plenty of time to spare. The tour guide as knowledgeable and spoke in English. The driver was wonderful as well. Overall a delightful experience and I would highly recommend them.
