Pretty impressive tour. Was only my wife and I with Melanie our driver/tour guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and several times asked what else we would like to see. It seemed like she knew everyone in town as we walked around town center. Great tour and great guide! It was only the 3 of us so a very personal tour

We booked a private tour and it was one of the best tours that we have ever been on! Rigo and Jose made sure that we saw every sight and we felt like celebrities touring the different places with them. I have a mobility cart (lightweight/compact) and they were attentive to how we could get to each place and loaded unloaded when needed. This was a fabulous tour and much less than what the cruise line offered but was private with only my wife and I. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Randy for this wonderful review! 🙏✨ It truly means a lot to hear that your private tour with us was one of the best you’ve ever experienced. José and I are very happy to know you felt comfortable, well taken care of, and even like celebrities during the day 😄🌴 Providing a private, personalized, and accessible experience is exactly what we aim for, so I’m especially glad we were able to accommodate your mobility cart smoothly at every stop. That’s very important to us. Thank you for trusting us instead of a cruise line excursion, and for your strong recommendation. We would be honored to welcome you and your wife back anytime for another amazing adventure in Puerto Plata 🇩🇴 Best regards, Rigo – PopDominican Travel Tours & Excursions
Rigo was great. His van was new and clean. It had great air conditioning and WiFi. He knew the city and had so many unique facts.

I would highly recommend Rigo and would definitely use him again should I be in the Dominican Republic again

Rigo and his son were such wonderful tour guides. Communication was clear and we weee picked up at the promptly at the port in a pristine van stocked with cold water and Gatorade. There were 8 of us and he tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to do. I recommend him for all your DR travel needs. So much nicer than a cruise tour. It was a private leisurely tour.

We arranged a city tour of Puerto Plata from the Amber Cove Cruise Terminal with Carlos Pena (email: carlospena_60@hotmail.com or mobile number: 829-520-9940). Carlos met us at the taxi pick up area and took us to see Puerto Plata sights. We told him we wanted tropical fruits and fresh coconuts and Carlos took us to a fruit stand for coconut drinks, mangoes, and other tropical fruits. If you're cruising to Puerto Plata, don't hesitate to contact Carlos as his rates are a fraction of what the cruise lines charges for city tour. Carlos was able to accommodate our group of 7 comfortably.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Puerto Plata city tour! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed visiting the local sights and tasting fresh tropical fruits and coconuts — those authentic moments are always a guest favorite. We’re also glad we could comfortably accommodate your group and provide a private, affordable alternative to cruise line tours. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Puerto Plata again in the future. Best Regards from Rigo – PopDominican Travel Tours & Excursions
We booked the Puerto Plata City tour and had Alfredo as our guide. Alfredo took us on a fantastic tour. He was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave us just the right mix of history, local information and could really sing. Our tour took us to Macorix rum, Del Oro chocolate, and another chocolate store, all of which had generous and very tasty samples. We saw pink street, umbrella street, the fortress, and the church. This tour and Alfredo really gave us a little of everything!! We got to have pictures with a little monkey and Macaw, fresh coconut water from the vendor by Central Park, empanadas, dancing at the rum factory, shopping and more!! My family and I highly recommend this tour and Alfredo. Alfredo can also take great pictures!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed the Puerto Plata City Tour and your experience unforgettable. He truly loves sharing the history, culture, flavors, and fun of our beautiful city — and we’re glad that his energy, knowledge, and even his singing made the day special for all of you! It’s great to know you enjoyed the rum and chocolate tastings, the colorful streets, the historical sites, the dancing, the photos with the monkey and macaw, and all the little surprises along the way. Puerto Plata has so much to offer, and we’re happy we could give you a bit of everything! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to the Dominican Republic. Warm regards, Rigo – PopDominican Travel Tours & excursion
Very friendly tour guide who was also great at sharing information on the history and culture of the town. Also what was amazing was that we had the choice on what we did and it wasn’t a fixed plan that couldn’t be adapted to what we wanted
Thank you for your kind words! 🌟 We’re so glad you enjoyed the history, culture, and flexibility of our tours. Hope to welcome you back soon! 🇩🇴 best regards from Rigo PopDominican travel tours and excursions
