Top Aruba Private Sightseeing Tours - page 4

We had a great day visiting "out of the ordinary" places in Aruba! Our guide, Skylar, first talked with us about things we wanted to see. He then managed to get us to those places while giving us some background history along the way. He also took us to places we previously did not know about but were similar to our requested places. The trip was always comfortable. Biggest regret was not having more time to see more island. Skylar was a great host/tour guide!

As we had covered most of the recommended sights and snorkeling places in Aruba by the time we took this trip, we were left with some of the least accessible beaches we still wanted to visit, and Bryan was the perfect guide and driver to take us there in his 4x4. He met before scheduled pick-up time and was eager to review and advise on our preferred stops to agree the final itinerary to get the most out of our 4 hours. We enjoyed the scenic Blackstone beach, Tripod Bridge, Andicuri and Shark Bay beaches prior to a recommended stop at (the collapsed) Natural Bridge for some context. Bryan is a pleasant guide aside from being an experienced driver successfully navigating the steep sections of the rocky roads. He willingly shared his knowledge and thereby ‘adding more flavour’ to our experience. We had requested to stop by the natural cave pool planning to take a dip; however, this was closed by the government due to safety precautions only a few months prior, but we still stopped taking a look. The Baby Natural Bridge (appears to be same name used for ‘Son of Natural Bridge’, next to the collapsed Natural Bridge) and Wariruri Beach was another scenic stop and photo opportunity. Due to not taking a dip after all (we had already visited Conchi natural pool in the NP, which could have been another opportunity on the northern coast), we found ourselves with more time than expected and Bryan took us via a recommended stop to taste Pastechi, a specialty of Aruba, on our way to a final recommended stop: Seroe Colorado in the south with its natural bridge and overview. Bryan proved to be a great photographer taking some memorable photos along the way. We also appreciated that this tour included a pick-up (and drop-off) at our B&B. To save time and be more flexible, we recommend bringing your own packed lunch or snack if you are planning a full day. For convenience, also remember to bring your towels and wear your swimwear from the start (limited places to change) if planning for a dip. Thank you, Bryan, for the tour, well delivered according to our preferred itinerary with some great additions.

Our guide (host) was great. Very knowledgeable and he shared so much about Aruba at all the stops we made and at ones we didn't. His love of Aruba was real and contagious and it was the same for everyone I met along the way. How could you not fall in love with a country where the government actually cherishes its' residents. Loved the tour and looking forward to even more next time..
