Outstanding Tour - Really enjoyed our morning with Jesus and Ricardo. Very informative as we drove around, and the tour included many stops and site visits that other tours did not list in their materials. Highly recommend this group and tour if you are cruising to the Dominican Republic.

Fun and exciting Puerto Plata city tour! - I highly recommend this tour! Ricardo and Jesus were stellar tour guides. From pickup to drop off, they were kind, knowledgeable and fun! Great for families with young children, even with the rum and tobacco tour, there was something to learn about the Dominican people.

Best tour ever - The tour was excellent our tour guide was amazing Jesus was knowledgeable friendly funny and excellent please please take this one for an amazing time Jesus and our Ricardo were amazing highly recommend

Fantastc and fun - Fabio from Marysol tours was accommodating and full of history and knowledge. Fabio was funny and always thinking of our needs and not himself at all

Best time in Puerto Plata - Were a group of 24 were got so much fun. Marysol tour were right on time when our cruise dock in Puerto Plata thank you Francisco

Honest and professional - Our search engine for White River Rafting in Puerto Plata took us on TripAdvisor to Marysol Tours and our request was professionally handled by Francisco. On our first interaction with Francisco, we advised him that we were travelling as a group of 36 persons and some of the activities we were interested in, 1. City Tour, 2. Paragliding, 3. Waterfall Excursion and of course 4. White River Rafting. Everytime, we liaised with Francisco we felt comfortable and became a little more trusting of him as an individual. With our travel experience, we have learnt to always check reviews and so we did and I must admit, the more we read, our bad experiences had me questioning these reviews because they all seemed," too good to be true." Upon our arrival, he met with us at the Hotel and we discussed the tours and made our payment so we booked, paid and were anxiously awaiting our activities with him to commence the next day. Well what can I say, Coach Bus arrived on time, clean, well attired and friendly staff and we started out City Tour. Jesus, our english speaking tour guide took us around and both him and the Driver were oh so patient with our crew and made our experience definitely an incredible experience and Day 1 was a success. Day 2, our transportation to Jarabacoa to Paraglide, bus driver on time and took us to our destination once more, waited and was ever so patient again as the Paragliding tram was experiencing some weather delays and took us to an incredible lunch. Day 2, yes a success. Then comes Day 3, Jesus with Driver. If we can describe patience as a person I would say it's this guy, he explained everything to us, safety, got us a Photographer for the group, and was intentional in aiding our non swimmers with overcoming their water fears. Professionally succeeded in this activity, BTW this guy is top fit to consistently do this tour. Last day was the River Rafting and it was like a fairytale come to life. The river was beautiful, guides were patient, fun, clear with the instructions and so in sync with the team. Noone would have guessed we were inexperienced and so many non swimmers. Our fears escaped us and had us in awe of the beauty of this tour. I must say Francisco and his team come higher than a 5 star rating. Our team was comfortable, safe and definitely our moneys worth.

Great way to see a lot of the city! - Fun day! We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the cable cars, downtown, rum factory and fort. Our guide was a very safe driver, very informative, very attentive and spent the entire day educating us on the local life and history of the Dominican. Started at 9am and wrapped up and back to the hotel around 3pm.

Great day trip for info - Very nice tour with Marysol. Jesus was our guide. The tour was informative and fun. We liked the rum distillery, amber museum and the chocolate factory was great. Really liked the hot chocolate at the chocolate factory and bought a bag as well as some rum. I was under the impression that we were going to a cigar factory when in fact it was a part of the amber museum tour. I wish I would have known because they allowed me to try a cigar which I really liked and would have bought a box but I thought that was a sample of the upcoming factory.

Thumbs up! - Friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver that took us to several very interesting places. Loved walking around Puerto Plata and seeing the classic cars, central park, and liked the rum factory sampling! We did find it sometimes hard to understand the tour guide, but he was very accommodating and repeated himself when asked. I recommend he get a microphone so people in the back of the bus can hear him as well as those in the front.

Scammed! Buyer Beware! - Earlier this year, my husband and I took the Puerto Plata City tour with Marisol Tours in the Dominican Republic. On this tour, one of the stops was identified as the Amber Museum, but actually it was a tourist type retail store that had a few pieces of amber on display, which we were given information about before being set free in the retail store. While in the store, a salesman showed us a Larimar pendant (I had my own chain) with matching earrings that he insisted on putting on my body and then directed me to a mirror. The jewelry was beautiful and when I asked about the price for the jewelry he put on my body, we were told $1500 US for the set. I liked the pieces and was agreeable to $1500, so I bought the jewelry, I did not check any bank accounts on my phone until I returned to the US at which time, I discovered the store had charged me $2500 instead of the $1500 agreed upon. I contacted Francisco at Marisol Tours to report this and he put me in touch with Louis, the store manager where I bought the jewelry. He remembered me and insisted I was confused about my experience in his store. My husband and I know exactly what we were told regarding the price of the jewelry the salesman put on my body. That pendant and earrings were the only jewelry we looked out. Bottom line is, I was scammed! Louis offered to send me a gift 5 months ago that never arrived. Again, bottom line is, I was scammed! Buyer Beware!
