Reviews
Perfect mix of everything!
Cable car views were spectacular, city tour showed us the real Puerto Plata, and the monkeys were adorable. This tour hits all the highlights. Our guide was excellent!
Amazing value for a complete experience
Four hours, four amazing experiences! The cable car alone is worth it for the views. Adding city landmarks and monkeys made it an unforgettable day.
One tour, complete Puerto Plata
Didn't have to book multiple tours — this covered everything we wanted to see. Cable car, culture, monkeys, all with a knowledgeable guide. Perfect!
Best cruise shore excursion
As a cruise passenger, I wanted maximum experiences in minimum time. This tour delivered! Cable car views, colorful streets, monkeys, and back on time. Highly recommend!
