City Tour + More - Great city tour! We got to stop and take pictures at all the main sites in Puerto Plata, which was exactly what we wanted. The experience was seamless from start to finish! They were on time, well organized, and stress-free. The van was immaculate with Wi-Fi included. They even stopped to get us fried chicken, which was a nice touch, and transportation to airport was the same. Everything ran smoothly & priced reasonably. 10/10 highly recommend!

Excellent 3-hr Puerto Plata tour with Roberto and Dane. - Superb 3-hour Puerto Plata tour with Roberto and Dane. We had a tour guide, photographer, and historian all rolled into one! Roberto exceeded every expectation—sharing rich history, stunning views, and capturing great photos. The highlight was visiting the local market to buy Guanábana, mangoes, and cherries (which I haven’t had in over 35 years). We received more than we imagined and thoroughly enjoyed learning about this beautiful country.

Absolutely Amazing - Dominican VIP Transfers exceeded all of my expectations from start to finish. From the moment I booked, their communication was fast, clear, and incredibly professional. When I arrived, my driver was already waiting with a warm welcome, spotless vehicle, and a genuine desire to make the ride as smooth and comfortable as possible. The vehicle was clean, modern, and equipped with great AC (a must in the Dominican Republic!). The ride was calm, safe, and efficient, and my driver offered helpful local tips without ever being intrusive. It truly felt like a VIP experience. What impressed me most was their reliability. Traveling can be stressful, but Dominican VIP Transfers made transportation the easiest part of my trip. I felt taken care of every step of the way. If you’re visiting the Dominican Republic and want a stress-free, premium transfer service, look no further. Dominican VIP Transfers is the gold standard. I’ll absolutely be using them again on my next trip!

Wonderful!!! Totally amazing! - The best experience ever!!!! What an amazing experience in Puerto Plata. Alexandro and his staff was one of a kind. Wish Royal Caribbean would offer this company. They picked us up and took us and gave us a private tour. We went to the pink street Dona Blanca and the umbrellas road. Fantastic! Then they took out entire group to a private beach where we had our own beach lounges and delicious food. All this for an unbeatable price! Would come bail over and over again.

Great ride! - Alejandro and Roberto were great. They took us all over the city and explained the history of Puerta Plata. We saw how cigars were made and were able to roll one of our own. Roberto walked us down the umbrella street and the pink street and was nice enough to take all of our pictures. Also he took us to an amazing chicharron stand called Chicharrones Light where we got chicharrones for a great price. Very good experience, felt safe and had a great time.
