Wonderful time in Puerto Plato - Neo picked us up, took us to all the places and then some. He waited patiently for us in the shops etc, we exchanged Spanish, English words. Neo was incredibly pleasant and helpful navigating the streets of Puerto Plato. These Canadian girls highly recommend Neo and this tour.

Red Carpet Treatment - That was a great day. Our small group of 4 was picked up and taken on our tour. Our tour guide Told us it was our tour and that he would take us where we wanted to go in addition to the normal planned tour. He took us to a couple of places we wanted along the way. We stopped at the rum factory which was fun. We saw the iconic umbrella street and pink street as well as the main square. We toured a chocolate factory as well as an amber museum. We then went to Sousa beach and stayed there for 2-3 hoursper our preference. Perfect end of the day.

A great experience - We chose the Puerto Plata City Tour and Anthony was our tour guide. He picked us up with a Good Morning greed and a great welcoming smile. He introduced himself, asked us about our trip, and explained in detail what our tour would entitle and off we went. He pointed out landmarks along the way n gave us a little history of each. This was a private tour n he made it clear that the tour was flexible and custom to our interests. Michel Tours is family owned and they are spiritual, professional, trustworthy and responsible. This was our first time with this tour company n I was very impressed as I had used others that had left a lot to be desired. We had a great day and the vibe was happy and accommodating. We went rum tasting,to Paseo de Doña Blanca where I met Lizzie ( a little monkey),shopped for Larimar( a beautiful blue stone from DR n my fav), saw many sites n beautiful views and to a restaurant that had the best fish soup I’ve ever had. I totally recommend Michel Tours n of course, Anthony ( he let us call him Tony), a very nice man that takes great pride in what he does n does it all very well. When I return to DR, I will reach out to Michel n her wonderful family. God bless them all❤️

Beautiful tour with small cuts - The tour overall was nice and we could see many of the most important highlights. We particularly liked the viewpoint – this was definitely a highlight of the entire tour. Unfortunately, however, there were also some points that could be improved. No WiFi was available in the vehicle, although this was stated in the description. We were also told in advance that both a driver and a tour guide would be there, but only the driver was present on site. Our driver Bolivar was very friendly and endeavoured, but the communication in English was a bit difficult in part because his English was not very good. All in all, the tour was fine, but we would have expected a bit more at a price of over $300 for our group. For this reason, we would probably not book the tour again.

Me no speak English - Our tour guide didn't speak English & we didn't speak Spanish. He was very nice. He took us all around to the most popular places. It would hsve been better experience if we could understand each other.
