THE best tour provider in the DR
Apr 2025 • Family
We did the airport transfer and Monkey Home and City Tour. We had Elvis for both. Elvis is a great driver and incredibly knowledgeable. We were a family of 8, Elvis had us loaded and on our way within minutes, arriving at least 45 minutes before the rest of the bus!
Our excursion started at 8am, Elvis was punctual and raring to go! He told us about Puerto Plata today. We were among the 1st of the day at Monkey Home( they have 4 small groups a day). They had us sanitize our feet before going into their home. They then let us know a bit about the monkeys and how we were to interact with them. The monkeys are small and very gentle. They are fed fruit, vegetable and what they catch in their safe home.
We then went on our city tour, the whole drive Elvis shared the history of Puerto Plata, stopping at monuments for photos.
We parked and walked the city center. 1st stop was the City Square, we had a band play for us. Elvis and baby danced, stealing our hearts.
As we walked Elvis continued to share everything he knows. There were great photo ops and so much to see. We stopped at a Larimar and Amber shop, a cigar factory a very cool shoe store where they handmake espidrils and paint them for you. A great little souviner shop. The Umbrelka St where we stopped for coffee and a quick lesson in how it gets there. The Pink St and the incredible history behind it. On our way back to thecresort Elvis took us to the top of the hill for an amazing view of the city and a stop for photos at Fort San Fillipe. Elvis shows how much her cares for the city and shares his enthusiasm with you. He had us laughing and saying " beautiful, beautiful, beautiful " Elvis started as a guide in the morning and ended the day as family.
Elbiatours is the only place you need to look to book your vacation making tours.
Thank you so very much for sharing your love of Puerto Plata with us.
