City Tours & Cable Car in Puerto Plata

22 tours · €40–€105 per person · ★ 4.8

City tours in Puerto Plata take half a day: the cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres to the Christ statue and the view over the bay, the fortress on the point, the Victorian houses and Umbrella Street, and a rum and chocolate tasting to finish. We picked 22 city tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a shared half day tour from €40 per person; the most expensive are private tours with your own guide and vehicle.

The cable car closes in high wind and on some tours is replaced by a truck road up the mountain, which the listings say; the fortress and the amber museum charge small entrance fees that are included on most tours here. Shared tours run from Amber Cove and Taino Bay to ship hours and from the Playa Dorada hotels with pickup, and the private tours stop wherever you ask. Tastings are generous and the rum shop prices are fair. The best reviewed Puerto Plata city tours come first below.
