A Must Do Tour - Our tour with Francisco was great! It was nice that it was a smaller, more personal tour. We got to go to places that the big tour companies wouldn't be able to get to! Definitely a highlight for our vacation!

Fantastic! You won’t regret booking this tour with Edwin! - Edwin was FANTASTIC! From pick up to drop off, his attention to our family was amazing. We learned so much on this tour about Puerto Plata and its history. It was a great day off the resort. Puerto Plata held a special place in my heart prior to this trip and now it is an even more special place! Cannot wait to get back there and book another tour with Edwin and his company! Thank you so much from Katherine, Andrew, Nyah and Nick!

The only thing that was a... - The only thing that was a little disappointing was at the chocolate stop. I wanted to see how they got the beans/chocolate out of the plant and not just a tasting. The cigar stop was cool to see all the different cigars

Learned a lot about the history of Porta - The guide was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of Porta Plata. Very disappointed that the fort wasn’t open due to the holiday. Would have liked to know that in advance. Overall good experience.

You See a lot in a short time but you do NOT go to the Chocolate Factory - Pros: Nice tour guide who is willing to answer questions, AC in the van, included water bottles, feel safe with tour guide, group is not too big (max 8 people) so you are more easily able to go from place to place. You see a lot in a short time - the highlights for me were visiting the umbrella street, the rum factory, and the fortress. Cons: I was very disappointed that this tour says it goes to the CHOCOLATE FACTORY but it does NOT. It takes you to a store that sells chocolate but it is not take you to the factory - if I knew that I probably would have booked a different tour. It's fine if the tour does not include it but then it should be excluded from the description. The only other thing was it felt a little sales-y being taken to multiple stores to buy things but not be explained the history.
