Excellent experience - This experience was top notch. Tamares was very kind and we had good communication with him. The monkey encounter was so fun and the guides there were so patient and kind. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Perfect monkey excursion - Excellent excursion from cruise ship. Tamares was a fantastic guide! Plenty of time to hang out with the monkeys. If you are on a cruise, make sure you note the time difference - boat time may be different than island time.

Great time with the monkeys! - We had a wonderful time with the monkeys! Our driver/guide was Tavares (sp?). He was fantastic. He provided us with great background info about Puerta Plata. We were impressed and very pleased with his knowledge, experience, and courteous professionalism.

Fantastic tour! Monkeys! - Our private tour operator Aneudy Tamares was amazing. Very knowledgeable of the local history and places to see. I would highly recommend this tour over the shipboard options. Super easy to find inside the port. Smaller groups are great!

Best day ever! - Amazing! 10/10 I booked this on my own (not offered through my resort) my boyfriend and I ended up being the only people on the excursion! It was like a private experience! The man who picked us up was very nice and great to talk to. The 2 young brothers at Monkey Mania were our guides, great boys! So friendly and welcoming. We had about 20 monkeys all to ourselves! The brothers even climbed a tree and picked us some fruit! After the monkeys we went into the town and it was so safe. Lots of tourist protection around. Very cool added bonus.

The monkeys - Monkeys were cute and we liked the city. It would be extra chèvre if we could stay for lunch downtown. The guide was friendly and talked to us all the time.

Monkey Mania and visit to town. - I was disappointed that Tamera’s wasn’t there to greet us. We were not sure who we were going with. I don’t like the unknown especially in a different country. I also didn’t like that our guide spoke very little English. Juan was very nice but we learned very little about what we saw during the drive. It would’ve been nice to be able to communicate with him. That being said we enjoyed tasting the hot chocolate and taking a picture with the parrot and holding the monkeys. Then we went to umbrella street where Juan walked us around and then on to Pink St and Central Park . He also let us go back to Umbrella St and shop around. All in all Juan was very courteous , helpful and a good driver. I would recommend others to request someone who can communicate.
