    Carlos was excellent in sharing history and touring the DR area. Flexible and friendly would recommend his tours to anyone who like personal touch.

  • 5Our guide was exceptional

    Our guide was very accommodating to our members with mobility challenges. Even waited for us to make the long trek from the ship to past the taxi set ups. Jesus, our guide, was knowledgeable and patient. He wanted to make sure we made the most of our limited time on shore. He made sure we saw the highlights and arranged for us to re enter the port area closer to where the cruise ships passenger shore excursions were dropped off. We made it back to the ship in plenty of time. I just wish Celebrity had allowed more time in the Dominican Republic as it was one of our shorter port visits. I would book with Perez Tours (Viator) again and would request Jesus if given the opportunity.

  • 5Great day seeing Puerto Plata

    I highly recommend this tour and Gustavo our guide was awesome! He definitely listened and allowed us to curate the day we wanted. Gustavo happily answered a million questions about life in the DR and showed us around this beautiful country.

  • 5A Must-Do Excursion in Puerta Plata!

    WOW!! What a great day with Carlos. Carlos provided great communication with us from the time we booked the excursion until the end of the tour. He was waiting for us at the pick-up spot outside of our cruise port. He had a nice, comfortable, air-conditioned van & provided great commentary & explanations for us. He made multiple stops as listed in the trip itinerary, plus other shopping opportunities, lookouts, city center. Carlos was very enjoyable to spend the day with and was also very accommodating as to what we wanted to see & do. He also speaks very good English for those who do not speak Spanish. We highly recommend Carlos. He is an excellent tour guide. Thank you Carlos for a very enjoyable day.

About Puerto Plata

Puerto Plata is a seaside city on the Dominican Republic's north coast, with a cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres, a Spanish fort and Victorian houses.

Puerto Plata sits on the Atlantic coast in the shadow of Isabel de Torres, a green mountain topped with a statue of Christ and reached by cable car. In town, the sixteenth-century San Felipe Fortress guards the seafront Malecón, and the old centre keeps wooden Victorian houses painted in bright colours around the central park. The Amber Museum displays Dominican amber, often with insects trapped inside.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Plata: Fort San Felipe (Fortaleza San Felipe), Damajagua Falls (27 Charcos), Amber Museum (Museo Del Ámbar).
