Great Transportation Service Experience. - I recently used Ismael Transfer Tour Service for a city tour visiting Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. I’m so glad I chose ITT service for my family’s tour. Ismael did not disappoint! He was courteous, friendly, organized and very knowledgeable of the city. Ismael willfully answered all the questions we had about the city of Puerto Plata, including surrounding cities. Ismael was also very patient throughout our tour as we took photos, and shopped throughout the day. He also took us to a fabulous local restaurant for lunch along with some other fabulous local hang outs. I highly recommend using Ismael’s Tour Transport Sevrice for your your transportation needs.

Amazing Experience - Our first time visiting The Dominican Republic and I can't say enough positive things about Ismael and his company. I felt safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Each time Ismael and team picked us up, either for a city tour, airport transportation or site seeing it was an extremely enjoyable ride. We will be back for another visit and Ismael, without hesitation, will be our first call for transportation. I don't usually write reviews but wanted to convey how well taken care of we felt and the top knotch quality of service we experienced. We felt at home.

100% Recommend - Ismael and his company took great care of us throughout our week in the DR. You won’t find a better private city tour than this one with Ismael, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Also provides great food and drink options along the ride. We also used Ismael’s company for our airport transportation to and from our resort, every driver we had was very professional and efficient.

Puerto Plata tour worth every penny! - This tour was really great! Ismael did a wonderful job of providing us with the opportunity to see the real Puerto Plata, while feeling safe and comfortable.. We were driven around town by Edgar in a new air conditioned van, while Ismael gave us the history of the city. The tour was clearly well thought out and executed flawlessly. He had pre purchased tickets for each location so there was never any waiting. We stopped at the Rum Factory, Chocolate Factory, Amber Mine, Umbrella Street, Town Square and Pink Street just to name a local sites. But the best part was when we visited the local Market where farmers come to sell their goods. We even shared a “cerveza’ with a local elderly man, and then ate lunch at a local outdoor restaurant. Thanks to Ismael and Edgar for showing us the real Puerto Plata as part of his “family”. It was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in see this picturesque, interesting city with someone who knows how to do it up right!

The rum distillery and... - The rum distillery and chocolate factory were fun. We also enjoyed walking around the central city. Unfortunately the fort museum was closed the day we were there. Our guide Elias was very good.

An Unforgettable Experience! - We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour! We did a private tour for a group of 8. Everything was well-organized, from transportation to accommodations, making the trip stress-free and enjoyable. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, offering the perfect balance of sightseeing, and cultural experiences. Our guide, Lenin and driver Diego were knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. They shared fascinating insights, local tips, and made sure everyone felt included. The destinations were breathtaking, and every stop exceeded my expectations. We especially loved the Macroix rum tour which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also loved the authentic Dominican lunch of rice, fried chicken, and Mangu. Everything was absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. I can’t wait to book my next trip with them!”
