Family Memories - We booked the Eat, Drink & Be Merry tour because the excursions offered by the cruise ship didn't allow us the option of booking a tour exclusive to our family of 5. Once at port in Puerta Plata our wonderful tour guides "Alexander the Great" and "Mad Max" we're waiting for us. They went over the itinerary with us and assured use they were there to make our trip memorable; for us to sit back, relax and leave it to them. And from that moment on they called ahead to our destinations checking wait times and crowds and even adjusted our route so we didn't have to wait in long lines. My family was over the top pleased with this tour and the knowledge that Alexander shared with us about their beautiful island. I can't forget to mention the awesome driving skills of Mad Max and the wonderful lunch at Kaffe Restaurant. Also, Alexander is an awesome photographer and captured so many memories for us. Thank you guys both for an awesome experience. I highly recommend this tour and be sure to request Alexander the Great and Mad Max 😎

Awesome tour! - It was a awesome tour with a awesome tour guide! I was nervous at first because I didn't know much about this island because we have never been there for a visit. But they put our mind at ease and it was a wonderful tour!

Highly recommended! - Our guide Alexander the Great and our driver Mad Max were terrific. All parts of the excursion were memorable, including the cable car trip up the mountain, rum factory tour (with plenty of samples!), cigar making store and the fort area. The included lunch was very good. Last but not least, all the rum and cokes you can handle during the excursion!

An Amazing Time in the DR with Alexander the Great and Indiana Jones - Alex was an amazing tour guide! He took us to visit all of the highlights of Puerto Plata and also allowed us to add stops if we wanted. The tour ended up being just the 3 of us and lasted 6 hours--well worth the money! Don't hesitate, take this tour.

Fun tour in Puerta Plata!!! - My sister and I had a good time on this tour. Carlos was a great tour guide for us. We visited sites that we would not have found on our own. The van was clean our group was small. We toured with a couple and they were friendly. The ride was smooth and they offered drinks and snacks. There were plenty of opportunities for great photos. We did the cable car, museum, rum tasting, lunch and cigar shop with a lesson and fun dance session at the end. I recommend this tour!

Book This Tour - My family & I recently visited Amber Cove on Carnival Freedom. We really wanted to make the most out of the DR so we decided to do a private tour. This is the one! We had more fun than expected. Our tour guide Alejandro the Great was amazing & our driver Fernando kept us safe on the road. We appreciated them both. The van was very comfortable & had enough room for all of us. Company was very professional an accommodating. We will be cruising back to the DR in the future & will definitely book with Iguana Mama again! Again book this tour.

Wonderful Tour of Puerto Plata - We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the Eat, Drink and Be Merry Tour in Mid November. We wanted a tour that would allow us to see the beautiful sites and experience the culture of the Dominican Republic, and this tour was perfect! Alexander was our guide and Fernando was our driver and they both did an awesome job showing us around the Puerto Plata area. We were picked up right outside the entrance to Amber Cove. It was about a 15-20 minute walk from the cruise ship and very easy to find. They spent 5 hours showing us the highlights of the area including Mount Isabel de Torres, tour of Macorix House of Rum, visit of Fortaleza de San Felipe, eating a delicious lunch downtown and walking around the downtown area. We ended the day with a visit of the Espigon Cigar Factory. We had such a fun time and highly recommend this tour!

Go for it! - Alexander the Great was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and accommodating! This was a well rounded tour to experience many area sites. Gorgeous views from the cable car and nature park. Many of the shops lay heavy on the sales so be prepared for that but you're in good hands with this tour guide!

Rainy Day in Dominican Republic - Our tour guides 'Alexander the Great' and Alfredo were excellent. We were the only couple on the tour which made it more personal. The weather was terrible which cancelled our trip to the top of the mountain. Cancelled by management for safety reasons. Just wondering if true. Other tourists on other tours did go up the mountain. The rum house and walk around the town square was nice. The chicken lunch at Kaffe was delicious. Would highly recommend it.
