It was a private tour just my husband and I. Jose was very accommodating and friendly. He even took pictures for us at the various stops. Loved going down Pink Street and the entire experience was enjoyable!

Puerta Plata tour, taxi

Published on Aug, 2024

Booked a last minute Puerta Plata tour while staying at the Lifestyle Resorts.. Communication was efficient and the details were easy to navigate. Our driver Osiris arrived on time to pick us up. The van was clean and air conditioned. We chose a tour of the Rum factory which was enjoyable, visited the Amber Museum, went to Umbrella Street and the Pink Street, the Church, the city center with the birds. We played dominos with our driver and I fed the street dogs :-)! We then toured the BLVD along the ocean and visited the fort for photos. Our driver then returned is to our hotel. I was happy with my booking and would use the company again.
