Ariel was the best guide ever! - Ariel was fantastic, the knowledge he has of Puerto Plata was deep. We learned so much from him. He was always very friendly and pleasant to deal with. My favorite still was the Cigar factory, I learned so much, I had no idea of all that goes into making a cigar.

Ramon’s Tours Puerto Plata Tour - The entire experience was one of the best we’ve ever had from start to finish! Nestor was so special - the passion he had for his country, his extensive knowledge, his kind demeanor was all genuine. Our driver - apologies that I have forgotten his name - was exactly the same as Nestor. We experienced so much on the tour. We especially liked the small group size. There were only four of us from our ship, and six from the other two ships so it was just right. Side note, I discovered that I had booked the wrong date within the 24 hour no cancellation, no refund window for this tour. But Ramon’s Tours was kind enought to change the date within no issue and no additional charge!

We had an amazing... - We had an amazing excursion in the Dominican Republic, and our tour guide, Ariel, was a huge part of what made it so memorable. He picked us up right from the port where our cruise ship arrived, and from that moment on the experience exceeded every expectation. Ariel was warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. As we drove, he pointed out so many details about daily life in the DR that we never would have noticed on our own. We learned so much, and the variety of things we saw along the way was far beyond what we anticipated. It truly felt like we got an authentic glimpse into the country. This excursion was so much more than we expected, and Ariel’s knowledge and hospitality made it even better. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic... - We had a fantastic experience on our family excursion in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Our tour guide, Eriel, was amazing—extremely knowledgeable about the area and genuinely dedicated to making sure we saw everything we were interested in. He took the time to explain the history and culture of the city, and his patience was truly appreciated, especially while we explored different shops at our own pace. The entire tour was enjoyable, relaxing, and very well organized. We highly recommend this excursion and highly recommend Eriel as a guide!

Carlos is the best!!! - Carlos was our tour guide and he was amazing!! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Instead of being on a tour with a large group, it was just my partner and I. So we really got a private tour of the city. We suggest everyone book a tour with Carlos if you want to have the best time in Puerto Plata.

Amazing experience with Carlos - Amazing experience! Carlos was knowledgeable and accommodating! Would recommend this tour with Carlos to everyone, 10/10 experience. We went through the rum factory, amber and ladimar factory, chocolate factory, the umbrella and pink street, the old fort, also got some local food! Carlos showed us all the cultural artifacts and drove us around while giving us all the information on the city.
