Amazing day spent on private tour! - Our driver, Milton, did an amazing job of educating us about the island during our drive, pointing out landmarks and including all of our stops into the itinerary. We hiked to see some memorable waterfalls and had an experience with Squirrel Monkeys at Monkey Home. Highly recommend this company for transportation and tours, just ask to have Milton drive you!

Great accommodations and... - Great accommodations and such a fun experience! Would do again in a heartbeat! Worth the money. Even better was the exceptional customer service as we had our own driver to and from port and to our excursions. Great time!

Perfect authentic 1 day trip to DR for mom and teenage son. - We were surprised with a vip - personal driver- “Jhon”. At first it was a bit alarming to be picked up in a personal car (I was expecting a van with a group), but Jhon was able to explain that we were the only group from our port and showed me my registration information on his phone and company sign. He was a superb host and put my concerns to rest quickly. We will definitely refer friends to ask for him. We were able to move in and out of places quickly and had first class service all the way. Jhon even anticipated our needs for water and stopped at a roadside stand for fresh coconut. The waterfalls were fantastic! Quite a hike for a middle aged mom, but the perfect adventure for my 17 year old son. The buggy rides were a perfect way to close off a day with my son that I hope he always remembers. Driving buggy’s on the beach & taking a dip to wash off the mud was awesome. It was a fantastic way to gain an authentic experience in the DR- if only for a day.

Book this trip! - Loved these activities! Only reason for giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the duplicate stops for the 'tourist' shops. Rather have spent that extra time in the buggys.

Great day - Anddy Tours was very professional. Your guide for the day was Cesar. On time. Easy to book with. We had to reschedule several times and they were very accommodating. The one star I took off was for the buggies experience. They were more like Go Karts than buggies. No off roading. Just driving down a dusty road and they don’t let you go fast. They should look for a different biggie company to partner with.

Fun day out with adventure! - We were picked up by Anddy and company in a private van. We were in heaven having our own tour away from all the other cruise ship people… but once you get to the waterfalls everyone is together and you go up there with over 100 people which made for slow going and delayed the rest of our day. They told us we could leave all our belongings in the van And it would be safe. Based on other reviews I wanted to take my phone in a water proof case but they insisted it was not a good idea as the phone would get lost in the waterfalls and we had our own “paparazzi” photographer just for us so we didn’t need it. You will def want water shoes and be prepared for a strenuous hike up! The water fall slides were amazing but rushed with all the people. We didn’t have any time to enjoy them. It was jump and go… The biggest waterfall is a bit scary. You can either jump, slide, or climb down. We all decided to jump and glad we did! We got back for a great buffet lunch and at that time they informed us it would be $150 For the pictures he took and he would send them to us the next day. I’m sorry, but I’m not paying that kind of money for many of the same pictures at a waterfall! So in the end, we don’t have any pictures. $150 is ridiculous! I wish we had been told in the beginning because we felt bad that we wasted the photographers time, but we had never committed to anything and they didn’t tell us in advance! I’m pretty sure he was supposed to come with us in the dunes buggies but once we didn’t buy he left. The drove us to a local place to sit through a coffee and chocolate demo where of course they want you to buy cigars, coffee, etc. but they weren’t aggressive and we didn’t feel pressured. The dune buggies are old and you definitely want a face covering. You will get MUDDY! We had a blast going through the huge puddles and although it was stinky dirty water, it was a blast! We were running short on time, so we stopped at a dirty, litter filled beach to rinse off very quickly. We were given a local rum and coke and back to the ship on time! Our driver was great about keeping tabs on the time!! All in all Anddys was great, just wish I had known these few things in advance.

Deceiving. Sent us the pickup location for the wrong cruise. You need more than water shoes for the hike. - More than water shoes are needed. Broke my toe on the river rocks. An hour hike not 30 minutes. Up hill and stairs. Equipment doesn’t fit well.
