Step by Step

This half-day guided tour of Puerto Plata is an efficient and enjoyable way to get to know the most representative aspects of the city without worrying about the logistics. From your pick-up at your accommodation, you will begin a tour that combines history, culture, architecture and local production, all with explanations in Spanish or English according to your preference.

The tour begins with a visit to the Casa del Ron Macorix, a museum that tells the story of the Dominican rum tradition and its evolution over time. You'll then be taken to Umbrella Street, a visually stunning spot ideal for photos, followed by the majestic Cathedral of San Felipe Apostle, located next to Central Park, where you'll appreciate the mix of historical influences and the local pulse.

You'll continue with stops at picturesque corners such as the Paseo de Doña Blanca and viewpoints in the upper part of the city that offer panoramic views of Puerto Plata. In addition, you will get to know the artisan and commercial tradition at the Fifi Cigar and Jewellery Factory, and the sweet universe of cocoa at the renowned Del Oro Chocolate Factory, learning about its production and its impact on the local economy.

The tour concludes on the Malecon of Puerto Plata, where you can admire the Fortress of San Felipe from the outside, stroll through the cultural environment of the amphitheatre and contemplate the ocean, closing the tour with a contrast between urban and maritime views that defines the charm of the city.

    The best: passionate guide, photogenic city and cool car. The minus: that in the end I wished I had stayed longer.

    I liked the fact that you see the essentials without getting saturated. The guide explained the rum and then the cocoa well, details that you don't see on many tours.

    The bronze Cathedral and the colourful promenade were highlights of the tour. Only that the air in the bus was strong and I almost fell asleep.

    The Malecon at the end made it clear to me why they say that Puerto Plata fascinates. The only thing missing was a little more time in the museum.
