Overview

As a local expert with over 15 years of experience in guided tours and private chauffeuring, my company and I will share with you all the wonderful history and beauty of the city of Puerto Plata. In this tour, our guest wil experience San Felipe Fort that is nearly 450 years old, a cable car ride to the top of Isabela Mountain (depending of tourist traffic that day) that is almost 800 meters above sea level (the only cable car in the Caribbean!), and a stop at our famous Del Oro Chocolate Factory. Bring your sweet tooth!! Another attraction is a stop at our unique Paseo de Doña Blanca, known as the Pink Street. These are just some of the attractions our guest will experience on this tour. We will have lots of fun making your experience one to remember creating memories that will last a lifetime. Guest questions along the ride are welcomed and highly encouraged. We will always be on your time and on time!
