Qchell Posted November 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2017 My DH and I are going to Amber Cove for the second time next year. The first we were booked at one resort for the day, that excursion got cancelled and substituted with another resort that was so awful we got a partial refund. We already have a beach day at Half Moon Cay and snorkeling at Grand Turk so we really would like a culture/island tour in DR this time. Looking at the island tours through Carnival - they all seem to be the same tour basically rearranged in differing orders with lots of gift shop stops. Not what we are looking for. I was looking at Marysol City Tour - and that is a possibility. Has anyone done that? Do you get to actually see the sites or are they simply quick stops in between gift shops? ;) Any suggestions on tours that really allow you to get out and see DR outside of the gift shops?

KroozFoolz Posted December 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 12, 2017 You can arrange a private tour with a taxi driver at the port. Price is negotiable. You can tell the driver where you want to go and what you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchell Posted December 12, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I have seen through the years where a number of people have opted to do that with wonderful results. I am always a tad bit hesitant to do that even though my husband is Puerto Rican, from the island, and Spanish is his first language. If anyone has any cab drivers they have experience with, I'd love the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessedladyg7 Posted February 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We absolutely loved and would highly recommend city tour with Marysol Tours incl cable car ride. It was excellent, informative and yet provided excellent opportunity to buy local wares. We purchased beautiful pcs of art and other one of a kind items at excellent low cost prices. Back to your inquiry, this was a wonderful active tour of Puerto Plata with a small group and time to shop. No beach time though.

JT1962 Posted February 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We loved the Waterfalls excursion with Marysol Tours. They offer several other tours that are less active also. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
