The best way we found to actually see Puerto Plata beyond the resort gates....

via GetYourGuide ★ 5.0

...Our guide knew every spot personally and it showed — the owners greeted him like an old friend at every stop. The food was exactly what you'd want from a real food crawl: unglamorous, delicious, and genuinely local. The mangú alone was worth showing up for. We left stuffed and with a much better understanding of what Dominican food actually is.

⭐ Our Commitment

We aim to enchant, so we get 5-star reviews left and right!

Full money-back if your experience is anything less than 5 stars.
