Couldn’t recommend more! - We decided to book this sort of last minute and we’re so glad we did. The two of us just wanted a low key informational tour of key monuments in the city and we got that and so much more! We cannot praise our guide Milton enough- so friendly and knowledgeable we felt so lucky. He even taught us about the plants, flowers, and trees which was such a lovely unexpected bonus! We mostly beat the crowds too which made everything that much more enjoyable for us. Milton’s facts, conversation (with perfect English) and company made this better than we could’ve ever hoped for. Thank you for making this tour so memorable, Milton!

Puerta Plata with Milton The Super Guide! - Our guide was Milton and he was the best!! He gave us a very personalized tour and was able to use his connections to get us into places other guides might not be able to. He was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We have even stayed in touch after returning home! We can't say enough great things about him and the wonderful tour experience we had. We all highly recommend him.

Milton for the win! Great host for our tour - We had an amazing private tour with our new friend Milton! We originally were going to be the only ship in port but they switched our itinerary to another day so ended up being one of three in port. We started out by going to the cable car up the mountain but when we arrived, it was a 2 hr wait so Milton said let's do the city tour first and then come back. Good call Milton! We visited the pink street, umbrella street, an amber museum, chocolate factory, a church, drove the coastline and saw a statue of Neptune and then when we got back to the cable car it was no wait at all! And so glad we saved the best for last. It was beautiful views and Milton was very knowledgeable of all the plants and trees and history of the area. He was very personable, professional and courteous. We also stopped at a locals restaurant and had some great plantains, rice and beans and pork. It was a bit difficult to find him at the port but we had the number that the info desk was able to call and guide us. We'd definately recommend!

Great personal experience - Our guide, Milton, was awesome. He took us wherever we wanted to go. When the cable car was cancelled because of weather, he took us somewhere else to still give us a good experience. He even took us to the store so we could buy a cord we had left at home. He was so courteous, putting an umbrella over us when it rained. He made sure we had a enjoyable time and answered questions abt the history of the places we went, as well as info about the country. It was a great tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour like a Local - Milton was an amazing guide and very respectful. He made sure we would see and learn about the history and culture of Puerto Plata. He tailors to your needs and what you would like to see in the area. We wanted to eat local food and were taken to a very nice cafeteria/restaurants where the locals eat and it was amazing! Thank you Milton and don’t think twice about booking a tour with him

Great Views and paparazzi at the top - The cable car ride gave us a refreshing view of the entire city, but near the top surrounding the Christ the redeemer statue was even better. Make sure you go early in the morning as it is way less crowded up there. There was one guy who put us in several different positions with the statues that made us look like we were holding hands with him and he was our own paparazzi guide. Our tour guides then took us to the city and we got to see the pink street, we got to see the city Square and learn about the history of Puerto Plata, and one of my favorite parts was watching a guy use a machete on a coconut so that we could drink it. After we walked around the town, and after drinking coconut water straight out of the coconut, we took it back to the machete man, and he cut the whole thing up for us, so that we could then eat the insides. It was a fun treat. We also got to go see a private demonstration of how Larimar and amber is turned into jewelry. The fort at the end of the tour was informative and our headsets were great guides. but not too exciting as they were not a lot of artifacts in there.

Puerto Plata - What a great way to get to see and learn about Puerto Plata. Our guide, Milton, was very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. He took us to a local restaurant where we enjoyed an authentic Dominican lunch and made sure that we got to see everything. I would highly recommend this tour.
