Vacation in the DR April 2024 - Our Tour Guides (Roberto y Chino) were AMAZING! They showed us areas of the DR normally not seen by other tourists. Our Tours provided places that we visited that were very individualized and detailed. We were able to see many different parts of the Dominican Republic and got a full understanding of what was in the area. Both were super nice and were always on time, suggest different places for us to visit, and ensured we had an amazing time. I will definitely be giving them a call upon my return for another vacation in Dominican Republic. Thank you so much gentleman!!!

Great guide and trip - Alexander was a great guide and showed us around the city on our way to the airport as requested. He even made stops if requested. He was knowledgeable about the areas in Puerto Plata and answered any questions. The vehicle was also very clean and air conditioned with wifi. Very professional.

Private tour brings charm of Puerto Plata to life - Roberto was our tour guide and treated us like family. We shared a wish list of places to visit and he managed to bring us to all of them seamlessly really bringing the charm of Puerto Plata to life for our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 teens). I would highly recommend this tour because it is so much more practical (costs far less than the cruise ship tour) and much more personal (we focused on what we wanted to see). We always felt safe with Roberto which is especially important when traveling with kids. Thanks Roberto!
