TheShayQueen Posted May 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2014 We are sailing on the Carnival Breeze and La Flor Dominicana Cigar Factory Tour is the one tour my husband really wants to do. What is the best way to get there from the port? You could always do the "Altos de Chavon & Cigar Factory" tour through Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanger Cruiser Posted May 7, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thank you, I did see that but wasn't sure if that was the best way or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShayQueen Posted May 8, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Thank you, I did see that but wasn't sure if that was the best way or not. I'm not sure about that, so hopefully someone else chimes in to help you out. We did the tour that I mentioned above and if you're interested, you can take a look at some pics/video in the La Romana link (1st Breeze link) in my signature. Good luck and I hope you enjoy your cruise! Edited May 8, 2014 by TheShayQueen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_water Posted May 8, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 8, 2014 We spent a couple weeks at Dreams and I wanted to get there too but never made it, just went to Bayahibe Fine Cigars in Dominicus. So I don't know how easy/cheap it is by taxi, and there is other great shopping in La Romana too. I would e-mail them for advice in getting there ligero@laflordominicana.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesabeach123 Posted May 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Best way is to take a taxi from port. It's a 10 minute drive east of port. La Flor offer several tours (see their website for details). For the 30 minute $US5 "afficionada tour" you don't normally have to reserve. http://www.cigarcountrytours.com/en/cigar-factory-tour.html Taxi from port to La Flor and then back to port should be around $US50, but it depends on the number of people in your group. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanger Cruiser Posted May 14, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks that's exactly what I needed to know. I had been on the website you posted but wasn't sure what we were looking at to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cxvillar Posted July 16, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2014 WOW a 10 minute drive from the port and it is a $US50 that sounds way out of line. Are you sure about that information? Yep, I think that taxi rate is right. I called Casa de Campo which is also 10 min away from port and the concierge said taxi from port to their hotel would be $30 one way! I'm planning on renting a car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelkel2 Posted January 22, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 22, 2015 WOW a 10 minute drive from the port and it is a $US50 that sounds way out of line. Are you sure about that information? I'm glad I saw this. I always like to research my ports of call before I really decide. Of course Carnival hasn't released any shore excursions for our specific cruise yet, but you can always look them up by port. So I wasn't really too interested in anything else and so I got to thinking this cigar factory would be fun. Then I thought, oh we could take a taxi and do it cheaper ourselves. UM wrong. Glad I saw the taxi rates. Still undecided if I want to spend 4 hours on a tour with Carnival, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanger Cruiser Posted January 22, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted January 22, 2015 We did the tour through Carnival and I am glad we did. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic about cigars and made it very interesting. My husband was not happy that he could not purchase a cigar that was made there, they are only exported, but loved the tour. The little town that we visited after the tour was quaint but we did not have enough time to really enjoy it. The things that we heard about the taxi's that others took that day made us realize that we were even happier that we did a Carnival tour and not a tour on our own (which we usually do). They can be very untrustworthy especially for women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
