An unforgettable day in Puerto Plata with Cristina! - My friend Sara and I went on a beautiful tour of Puerto Plata during our cruise, together with a small group of Italians. Our guide, Cristina Calà, was simply fantastic: nice, prepared and always available. In a few hours – just off the ship – we managed to live a very rich day: we visited the main points of the city, a wonderful beach and some very interesting historical sites. Cristina was able to perfectly dose cultural moments, fun and relaxation, telling us curiosities and anecdotes with passion and professionalism. I would also like to emphasize the availability and humanity: I had the need to stop at the pharmacy and without any problem they accompanied me, with great kindness and attention. I absolutely recommend this tour to those who stop in Puerto Plata: it is a great opportunity to get to know the true spirit of the Dominican Republic in the company of an Italian guide who knows how to make you feel at home, but on the other side of the world!

- Made tour in Italian with the magnificent Cristina. It immediately puts you at ease, super professional guides you to discover every most characteristic corner of Puerto Plata. Tuor ended with a few hours relaxing on the beach where he made us taste an excellent Mofongo. One of the best experiences made during the various trips. That it's just goodbye ☺️ ❤️

Heaven on Earth exists! - The beauty of the places visited leaves little room for words but so much for wonder. If you are lucky enough to have a guide, or rather, a polite travel designer, prepared and extremely helpful as Cristina Calà (I add: at a very honest cost) , you reach the top, nothing else!

SPECIAL INSIGHT - I loved learning about the culture but especially from a man who has lived there for many years. He was respectful to anything we opposed to do and didn’t ask questions. It really was a personal tour and he turned around when I wanted something last minute with ease.

Fun day tour through the culture of the town. - The tour brought us through much of the culture of the town. We got to see some awesome buildings and the tour guide was knowledgeable about our questions. They even detoured for a store that we wanted to visit outside of the tour.

A memorable day in Puerto Plata thanks to an exceptional guide - We toured the city of Puerto Plata and loved every moment of this tour. Our guide, Francisco, was simply exceptional: professional, passionate and always attentive to our comfort. The organization was impeccable. Even when there was a slight unforeseen event; the bus to Mount Isabel was full, but Francisco was able to adapt the schedule calmly and efficiently so that we could enjoy the day to the fullest. Every stop was interesting and well chosen, but the highlight was definitely the meal. The restaurant recommended by the tour operator was a real favorite: tasty Dominican cuisine, attentive service and pleasant atmosphere. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover Puerto Plata with a competent guide and a well-organized team. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Fabulous tour to see the sights! - Edgar and Francisco were fabulous hosts for our tour. They were on time, pleasant and flexible. They allowed us to make some minor adjustments to our day and were helpful and knowledgeable. We learned a great deal of interesting history and had fun along the way. They had nice cold water for us and we felt very comfortable during our day. We highly recommend Edgar Private Tours and will use them again the next time we are in Puerto Plata!

A perfect way to explore the heart of Puerto Plata! - We had an amazing experience on our Puerto Plata City Tour with Francisco from Edgar’s Private Tours. From the moment we met him, Francisco made us feel safe and welcomed. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture, and answered all our questions with enthusiasm and warmth. What really stood out was how personalized the tour felt. It was just me and my boyfriend, which allowed us to go at our own pace without the pressure of a large group. Francisco also took the time to capture so many great pictures of us along the way — memories we’ll truly treasure! Some of the highlights included Paseo de Doña Blanca and La Calle de las Sombrillas — both full of charm. If you're looking for a stress-free, informative, and enjoyable way to discover Puerto Plata, this is it! Highly recommend this private tour over anything offered by Air Transat or resorts!
