 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For the past 4 years, we request Nelson to drive us whenever we are going off resort. He is so conscientious, courteous, dependable and on time. His vehicle is always impeccable and his English is excellent. He is fun and very easy to talk to. I would recommend him over all the drivers we have had in the DR!  Thank you, Nelson!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Nelson for a tour day in the mountains of the Puerto Plata area. We had a fabulous day. We had a tour of a coffee farm and had the privilege of getting the tour by the owner which was incredible. Then we went on to see the amber mine process. We went into the cave and this was followed by a lovely coffee with his mother in their home. We then watched the process of him removing the amber from the rock and polishing it. We ended up buying lots of beautiful amber products!  Then we went on to a waterfall river and then back home. Fantastic time seeing the true side of DR life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nelson was awesome! Talk about peace of mind while traveling. Picked us up and drop this off to the airport. We were running late to our own expense because I wanted food. Promised me that we'll still get there in time and oh did he deliver. Not only did he stop at a place that he knew for what I wanted, the food was excellent and we still made it to the airport on time for my flight.
The second time we used him he took us to uncharted locations off the beaten path, chilled with us the whole time and made sure our experience was amazing. We went from relaxing at the hotel to going out and enjoying some amazing views. If you looking for something different to do he's your man. Just ask and he'll deliver. Options aren't limited with him. Can't wait to go back!!!
