An Unforgettable Experience! - We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour! We did a private tour for a group of 8. Everything was well-organized, from transportation to accommodations, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, offering the perfect balance of sightseeing, and cultural experiences. Our guide, Lenin and driver Diego were knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. They shared fascinating insights, local tips, and made sure everyone felt included. The destinations were breathtaking, and every stop exceeded my expectations. We especially loved the Macroix rum tour which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also loved the authentic Dominican lunch of rice, fried chicken, and Mangu. Everything was absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. I can’t wait to book my next trip with them!”

Beautiful Puerta Plata - It was perfect. We had Isamal as our guide and he was great. We had 3 children with us ages 3,9 and 13. They totally enjoyed it. Puerta Plata is beautiful and very interesting. We never felt unsafe, the people were very friendly. The food at the restaurant was delicious. The kids all loved it and ate everything. The chocolate factory was interesting and the chocolate is the best I have ever tasted. The fort was also very interesting. We to,d Isamal what we wanted to see and he customized it for us. Our tour lasted 5 hours and we were back at the ship with plenty time to spare. You will not regret taking this tour. We all loved everything about it.

We toured the city - Our trip was amazing. Ismael was our tour guide and he took great care of us. He was so great with our children (ages 7, 7 & 9) too. He made sure they experienced the amber museum and fresh coconuts while the adults enjoyed a rum tasting and cigar rolling. The authentic lunch was incredible and we also learned so much while touring the city. I recommend this tour to anyone! Such a wonderful experience.

A great transportation company in Puerto Plata - Ishmael tours arranged transportation to Los Galos and back for us. It was pretty reasonable compared to the cost of renting a car and much much easier. The driver Diego did a great job was very personable. He also arranged transportation from the airport and back, which was just great. This company is very trustworthy and I would highly recommend them.

Fabolous Day in the DR - What a way to see the city! Diego and Alexander were our driver and guide and they were fantastic! It was my husband, BFF and her husband. We travel together alot and love the private tours when offered. We started with them picking us up at our hotel for just us 4. We hit the rum factory first and an early morning tour and tasting. The rum was really good and super cheap! From there they took us to an outdoor market to see where locals buy and sell food etc. We were able to taste a local flavored ice and it was great. Alexander the Great was also telling us the history and about the items were were seeing and the people. Next up was the cigar factory. Again a personalized tour with just the 4 of us. Alexander stayed with us and everyone smoked a cigar and had some more mamajuana. Super interesting and fun watching them make them by hand. From there we took a tour of the Ambar factory to learn about this gem in the DR. We bought a ring, necklace and bracelet here. Then he brought out rum and cokes for everyone to drink while we were driving around. Then on to the famous umbrella street and pink street. He then took us to the plaza for a quick photo opp and then we went for lunch which was a local treat. It seemed like everyone was there and it was all locals. Food and water and tea were included in our price. After lunch we hit the Del Oro chocolate factor for hot chocolate, brownies and a tour. Then a quick stop at the Puerto Plata sign for photos. And we ended with a tour of the San Felipe Fort. We had a fabulous tour and the guides were amazing. Don't hesitate! Just book it!

Guide was very... - Guide was very professional and personable. He accommodated our schedule and requests. We visited the amber latimar and chocolate museums that are more accurately described as souvenir and jewelry shops. It was expected and welcome. Parts were very interesting. We saw the luxury hotel district and the outdoor produce markets. All good.

Best Tour on DR - Best tour in DR. You can customize your tour to pick and choose your stops. We compared our tour with several other couples on the cruise and none could come close to our grand tour. Do not miss this tour.
