Walk the cobblestones of Puerto Plata's Victorian-era old town with a licensed historian, then step inside the 16th-century Spanish fort guarding the bay.
What to expect
Your guide meets you at the pier and walks you through the restored gingerbread houses of the historic center, explaining the city's Victorian trading past. You'll enter Fortaleza San Felipe, a coral-stone fortress built to fend off pirates, and hear stories of its use as a political prison. The tour concludes at a local café for Dominican coffee and pastries.

Good to know
Fully walkable from the pier area — no transport needed. Mornings are cooler and less humid; the fort has uneven stone steps, so wear supportive shoes.
