Amazing experience - Showed me and my mom a good tour and it was a little hard finding them at the port but once we found them it was good. He was super friendly and had good energy. He took me to try fruit as well the mangos were good an we learned a lot

Monkeys and city tour - The monkeys were adorable. We had such a good time. It was not called Monkey mania though if you're searching, it was monkey house. Our driver was very nice and talkative. Vehicle was clean, we had a mini van to ourselves.

Money well soent. - Wady Tomaras was our guide. When you go through the port you will come to a bunch of drivers with green shirts and hats. I asked one about Wady Tomares and one of the men called him over. This was essentially a taxi service- which I imagine we really could have gone wherever we wanted. Our agenda was monkeys, umbrella street, pink street and the fort. He had a van just for the 5 of us. Nobody else joined my family. The van was exceptionally clean comfortable with leather seating. He was very polite and soft spoken. His driving was very good. He really cared about following the rules and making sure we were safe. We opted to not get out at umbrellas or pint street as it was super busy. He stopped and we were able to get pics from the van. We went to the fort and got out there. But beware of that- they had people with tables set up and they were very pushy. You have to just put your head down and not interact- unless you are interested. I think they were harmless and probably just in need of money- but it kind of scared me a little. After all that he offered to take us to a restaurant or anywhere else we wanted. Very accommodating and kind. I’m thinking you could probably just contact him and use his service to go anywhere. This was so much cheaper and the way to go.

Great experience for the whole family - Driver was fantastic. We felt safe the whole time and our driver (Twin) was the best. He took his time, was very patient, and took us to the monkeys, and then the tourist parts of Puerto Plata. We made it back with plenty of time to get back to the ship. 100% recommend
