Welcome To Marysol Tours

  You're in good hands with these guys. Definitely dependable company to tour with if in the case you are worried about your safety traveling and DR. Took us out for... read more a one day excursion and had us back in time to take pictures at the port prior getting back on the ship.

  We booked the waterfalls and horse back riding on the beach (two separate days) with Garry at the Mall and both were great! Organized and fun, not to be missed!... read more The included lunch at the waterfalls was delicious. For the waterfalls, take a waterproof camera if you have one. Use some old shoes for the riding, ours got soaking wet because there were big pods on our way (it was raining a lot the day before).

  Marysol Tours is a fantastic tour company Our fun loving guide, Jose, made our tour to Damajagua Falls so memorable. Our family was on the Carnival Breeze cruise... read more and was in port on February 17, 2020. The cruise tours were $30 more expensive than Marysol and we had heard over crowding was an issue so we decided to go with Marysol.

I emailed Marysol a few times with questions. Francisco responded promptly and eased all my concerns. The walk took about 10 minutes at most because you have to leave the ship main gate. Turn Left and walk 75 feet and they were waiting for us. No issues with safety at all.

The van was newer, clean and well maintained. We had another family of four on our drive but the van can hold twelve. Jose was the guide and Juan (or maybe Juam) was the driver and I felt safe the entire ride. Jose joked and shared notable landmarks. You do see small villages and market along the way.

When we arrived at the falls, Jose helped arrange paparazzi for us. The paparazzi are a photographer that follows along on the tour and takes pictures and videos of the entire excursion. I highly recommend this because you do not have to worry about getting the best shot or carrying a camera. So worth the $50 plus tip. We got 160 pictures and 6 videos.

You can store you belongings in the van. The driver stays with the van and the tour guide follows along on your journey.

After the Falls we went to a small place to see wood carving and tobacco processing. Items are available for purchase. We bought two beautiful pieces. He then asked if we wanted to get something to eat. Since it was our first cruise and the other family wasn't interested we decided to head back to the port. They dropped us off at the starting point and we walked back to the cruise ship port. The entire excursion took about four hours. We were in port for six hours so we had time to look around the shops and our purchases offsite were far less expensive.

I can't say enough great things about this company and tour. I will recommend them to my family and friends the next time they are in port.
