Great guide, some missing items, like cable car.
Thank you for your review and for your kind words about your guide! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the cable car. Unfortunately, it is currently out of service and is undergoing a major renovation. At this time, an official reopening date has not been announced, which is why we do not include it in our tour description. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Puerto Plata in the future for another memorable experience with Amber Escape! 🇩🇴✨
Loved the pickup and drop-off right from the resort lobby. The places visited were all great but the rum factory your was great with all the samples, I'd do that again! The only downside was the cable car no longer is in operation do they drive you up.

Antonio was a fabulous guide. We had two elderly family members with us and Antonio was incredibly accommodating. He chose paths that were easily walkable and even convinced a street vendor to give up his chair so my mother in law could rest for a minute. The street art was beautiful, the facts were interesting, and the tour van was incredibly comfortable. We had such a phenomenal time, we booked two more tours with the company!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a phenomenal experience. Antonio will be very happy to know his efforts made a difference for your family. Making sure everyone feels comfortable and able to enjoy the tour — especially our guests who may need a little extra care — is something we truly value. We’re also glad you enjoyed the street art, the stories, and the comfort of the tour van. It means a lot to us that you trusted our company enough to book two more tours! We look forward to creating more great memories with you and your family in Puerto Plata. 😊
They were very accommodating with my mom in a mobility scooter! When it rained, they walked along side my mother holding an umbrella over her! Made a couple extra stops for us as well. Very professional and knowledgeable!
