Amazing, Wonderful, Knowledgable and Fun - Diana was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and clearly very experienced as a tour guide. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of throughout the day. What made the experience even more special was the group we were with. Everyone was so friendly and fun, and the entire day was filled with laughter, learning, and enjoying great food together. Overall, we had an absolutely fabulous time. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Puerto Plata—it was the perfect mix of culture, history, and unforgettable moments.

Best excursion ever!! - Antonio was amazing! He customized our tour to not only cover what was advertised, but managed to squeeze in a couple of extra stops for us. Lunch was excellent, and he brought fresh avocados to share with us, in addition to the delicious meal prepared by the restaurant. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Dominican Republic, and each of the stops we made, and he also made the day so much fun!! It was the highlight of our entire cruise!!

Great tour with Carlos - This was a great experience. Our travel guide was very nice and polite. Ask for Carlos Perez if you are doing this tour. He wasn’t just a tour guide, it was like going on a tour with a friend who knew the history of the island. I will be doing this tour again when I come back with other friends.

Great experience! - Antonio was wonderful and made sure we saw everything on the tour with plenty of time. He did a great job coordinating a tougher pickup/drop off for me and I really appreciated that!

Fun Tour of Puerta Plata - We had a fun day with Marcelaius and Tommy during our excursion in Puerta Plata. We visited the rum factory, Mt Isabel, toured the city center area (including umbrella and pink streets), and had a wonderful lunch. I would recommend two things when booking with Rothis Tours: 1) e-mail / call ahead to confirm the meeting time and pick up point if you're stopping as part of a cruise (there was some confusion internally with our reservation which caused a bit of stress at the start of our day - Marcelaius to the rescue!) and 2) if you book a private tour, ensure that you communicate clearly with your guide as to the places you really want to see (we missed the chocolate factory due to our later start time, extra time we spent waiting to be driven up to Mt Isabel, and a mechanical issue that was clearly outside of our control). Please note that visiting Mt Isabel may take some extra time when the cable car is out of operation. It is well worth the time to go up the mountain for a visit, though!
