Highly recommended. - We had the private city tour, and it was very personalized for us. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. She had many wonderful stories about local and island history. We very much enjoyed spending the day seeing so many wonderful sites, from the mountain top, the chocolate factory, the Fort, and of course the vibrant downtown. Would definitely recommend!

Great Experience, Excellent Customer Service - Fantastic experience! We originally booked a private tour but the night before our trip I got food poisoning at our hotel. I reached out to Viator and they offered different options (when they could have canceled with no refund) and we ended up taking a private tour with Antonio. Great knowledge, service and conversation throughout the day which was just short of 7 hours long. While some of the Dominican souvenir salespeople can be aggressive with trying to make sales, we had noticeably less people stopping us than other groups. Lunch was delicious and included, as well as coffee on Mount Isabel. If you want to make the most of a day trip into Puerto Plata I would highly recommend this tour as you don't have to buy your own tickets, wait in lines, etc. Expect that you will be walking through a number of shops for rum, chocolate, and other souvenirs. Del Oro Chocolate had much better prices than Choco Lovers for those looking to buy lots!

Puerto Plata City Tour - We really enjoyed the tour of Puerto Plata. The tour covered many of the tourist attractions in the city. Antonio was a great host and very knowledgeable about Puerto Plata's history.

Excellent tour - Having private tours is the way to go! You can get all your questions answered. Antonio was great! We saw everything we wanted/expected to see.

Quick overview of the city - Smooth transitions to all of the activities. The cable car to the top of the mountain had not been working for months so we drove to the top. Would have liked a little more time to see the botanical garden.

Not satisfied - First off, I would like to say my reading has nothing to do with Raul, he was great and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The cable car that you mentioned in your ad was not available, and looks like it’s been unavailable for quite some time. The chocolate factory tour was really no factory tour at all just a method to try to sell some of their goods. The rum factory was pretty much the same way; really nice rum tasting, but no tour of any factory. All I’m saying is if you advertise it that sets an expectation in our expectations were not met.
