Summary: Great value and much cheaper than the cruise line and more personable. Do recommend! Just FYI, and specially at the fort stop, vendors are very aggressive and pushy. Please be mindful of that.

Summary: We booked the Puerto Plata City Tours instead of the cruise ship excursions, and we were so glad we did. Edwin, the owner, was very communicative prior to the tour and was very professional. He picked up us in his air conditioned vehicle promptly at the entrance to the port, and we were surprised that it was a private tour! Edwin and Francisco were very attentive in making sure everyone was comfortable and provided cold bottled waters. Our tour included a tasting at a rum factory, rolling cigars at a cigar shop, chocolate tasting at a specialty store, the historical town square and church. This was our first visit to Puerto Plata nd he and Francisco made it very special. We HIGHLY recommend Edwin Tours when you are visiting Puerto Plata. Thank you Edwin!
