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!

This tour was AMAZING! From start to finish I have nothing but great things to say about this company. Michael did an excellent job on communicating with me from the moment I booked this tour. Once we arrived in Puerto Plata I was able to reach him with ease and locate our tour guide Anthony (Tony) and he was outstanding. He took us on the best tour, explained so much about the beautiful Island and made our experience so fun. He made us laugh, gave us historical information on landmarks, and took the BEST photos of us. I will absolutely recommend them to EVERYONE who visits here and I will definitely tour with them again the next time we return to DR.

Just one word for Michel Tours, Fantastic!!!
One of the best tours I've had while visiting any new place.
Special thanks to my amigos, Marcelino and Alvaro for making this trip a memorable one.
Visiting a new country with 2 babies on board can be very challenging, but thanks to these two guys for being so accommodating and taking care of us during the entire tour. Highly appreciated.
Puerto Plata is a very BEAutiful place to visit with mind blowing beaches and a very nice town to spend the day.
If I ever visit Republica Dominicana again, Michel will be the company for another tour.
Highly recommended!!!

Neo was an amazing guide! He was patient and personable! He went above and beyond taking us on a panorama tour. He took his time showing us real Dominican life! Even the American cows and DR transportation in the county. He was always smiling and fun! He taught us so much about his country! Neo was an exceptional guide and the highlight of our trip!

Our driver was incredible. Very knowledgeable and great with the kids. Our driver made us feel safe the entire time and had everything ready. We didn’t have to wait in very many lines to get in the falls but it was crowded that day as it was spring break. Great excursion and team!

Amazing tour, Neo (not sure on SP) was an amazing guide. He let us go at our own pace, he let us make a fun stop at an area we thought just looked really beautiful to take pictures. Overall a great tour and well worth the money!

This tour was exactly what we were looking for, small private, and still all the highlights.

We were able to go at our pace and avoid the crowds.
