Comfortable, Informative, Beautiful Day, Best Tour Guide! - Excellent meeting instructions and communication. Francisco was very punctual and picked us up in a nice air-conditioned van and he has drinks if all kinds available as well. Francisco is a wealth of local information. He took us to all the touristy spots and talked about the history (umbrella street, paseo de dona blanca, the fort) and gave us plenty of time to look around on our own. He showed us around town and also asked if there was anything else in particular we wanted to see. He is willing to shape your tour to what you like if needed. If you are interested and have time, ask Francisco if he could take you to the Puerto Plata cable car and wait while you go up the mountain and back. His second job as a photographer came in handy as he took great photos for us (and with us)! If you are visiting Puerto Plata, booking this tour with him is definitely recommended!

Perfect day thanks to Francisco - Francisco was referred to us by friends who met him on a prior cruise, and we are so glad we got his name. He took us exactly where we wanted to go — even a place not on his normal route. He helped us find everything we wanted to take home and taught us about his home. We had the chance to sample the native food and drink as well. He took care of us from arrival until our return to ship — well before we had to be back, so no chance of pier running.

Wonderfully Friendly and Very Knowledgeable - Our experience with Francisco was wonderful! He was very friendly, talking to us throughout the whole trip. Not only that, but he told us many things about the island as we drove around. He also was kind enough to get us fresh sugar cane and guava fruit to try from locals! He took us to all of the stops we wanted to as well. Overall, we had a great time and if we come back, we will be sure to book Francisco again!

Great experience with a great tour guide! - Francisco was friendly, knowledgeable, polite. He took us to many different locations where we learned about the history of the island and safe shopping locations where we wouldn’t get taken advantage of. He took us to a local restaurant where we enjoyed delicious Dominican dishes. Overall a 10!
