Amber Cove: Taste & Explore! Unforgettable City Immersion

Carlos and Harry were fantastic guides. We arrived at the mountain top right at opening time so we were the only ones there. Carlos was eager to take great pictures of us. Lunch was also very nice in a beautiful back porch setting. The drinks were flowing at every turn. Only negative was the shopping stops were more like timeshare presentations. Jewelry, cigars, chocolate… all with quick 5 minute presentations followed with “now, how much do you want to buy?”. I asked to visit a regular old gift shop and they squeezed a visit at the end to a store where they haggled over every price. 5 stars for the guides, lunch, and the views. 2 stars for the shopping.

A wonderful tour filled with many stops in the Puerto Plata area !!! The tour guide Raphael was very very knowledgeable about the area and answered our questions !

We had a fabulous time with Alexander & Fernando on our tour. It ended up being a private tour which was really nice. Alexander took some really fun photos while we were visiting multiple locations. We never would’ve had such good couples photos on our own. We visited the Christ the Redeemer statue on the mountain. Alex pointed out all kinds of wild herbs and flowers along the way. The rum tasting was really fun! They brought us to the umbrella street, pink alley, we learned about cigar rolling, had a chocolate tasting and lunch at a cute cafe. We even danced the merengue! Learned a lot about the history & culture. Highly recommend!

Viator doesn't tell you the cable car has been shut down for a year, so we started off disappointed. However our tour guide and driver still made our experience 5 star. We started at the beautiful botanical gardens at the top of the mountain with outstanding views. We then had a rum tasting at a distillery lots of fun, bought some to bring home. Moved on to a quaint restaurant for a wonderful lunch. They took us downtown to the square. Toured the church, the umbrella street, pink ally and went to a jewelry store. They took us to a chocolate and wine tasting. From there we went to the Fort. There was so much we passed on the cigar making tour. Oh and did I mention free drinks with or without alcohol. This tour was awesome and a phenomenal value. Take this tour, you won't be sorry you did.

You see a wide variety of things. The only thing I would skip is the jewelry store - a hard sell - and not my thing. Everything else was wonderful. Carlos, our guide, and Henry, our driver were friendly and accommodating. Lunch was fabulous - such a cute restaurant!

From start to finish, the accommodations were top notch, endless drinks, information and more! Alexander the Great and Indiana Jones were so kind, positive, informative, safe drivers and more. Alex knew exactly where to take photos, told us all the historical facts about the DR and ensured we made it back to the ship promptly. We would recommend this trip to anyone!

The tour guide and driver were both very nice. We wish the guide was a little more knowledgeable about the history and plants.

We had a wonderful experience with Rafael and Henry. We ended up being the only two on the tour, so it was like a VIP experience. Rafael was very kind and knowledgeable. I wish he gave us a bit more information about the history and the culture of the area, but he answered our questions thoroughly when asked. The rum distillery was a great time and a stop I forgot we were making but so much fun. We ended up being gone the majority of the day which was nice. I highly recommend.

We had a great time with Fernando and Alexander on this tour! We ended up being the only 2 on the tour so we had a very personalized experience. The lunch was delicious, and we tried some amazing coffee and hot chocolate. The tour to the top of the mountain was interesting and Alexander was very knowledgeable with the plants etc. I would 100% recommend!

The tour guide Alexandre was excellent but the tour itself could have been better. Did not get to up the mountain due to the weather.
