Had a great day with Ray! We started off kilter as we were late due to ship time vs local time but Ray patiently waited for us. He did a great job of personalizing our experience making the day unique. My husband is a huge baseball fan ( youth and pro ) so we had a stop at an incredible little league stadium. His knowledge of the sites and island in general was top notch ,never leaving a question unanswered. I strongly recommend you spending a day getting to know the island in this intimate manner .

Had a great time with Juan! He gave us, not just a comprehensive history about the island, but he also told us a great deal about his family which was intertwined with the rich culture of Curacao. We learned about the language, the music, got to sample the beaches, and of course we got to taste the famous Blue Curacao.
Would highly recommend this tour. It was a great overview, and now we know where to go when we inevitably come back!

We had the best afternoon in Curaçao with Juan!! We felt a private tour would be best for our group as we have one with some health issues and limited mobility in certain situations. The company communicated well, reaching out to ask what ship we’d be on and when we’d arrive and they provided clear instructions and photos for us to meet them. When we met up with Juan he asked us what we’d like to see and we were off from there. It’s always special to get a tour from someone who has grown up there and can tell you what it’s like to be local. Juan made sure we saw everything we wanted plus some more things he suggested, and he was an absolute joy to spend the day with! He had a great attitude, was friendly and so helpful! He made sure my MIL could see everything too even when we had to walk over some rougher terrain, he would run ahead a few steps and help her over. He could tell we preferred more laid back spots and took us to a beautiful quiet beach to swim before heading back. Absolute 10/10 experience and we hope to come back someday! Thanks Juan!!

Absolutely amazing. Ray was the best tour guide ever. Very informative and funny. So kind and accommodating. My husband and I really enjoyed this tour and all the history provided. This was a great way to see so many hot spots on the island. I would certainly recommend doing this tour over others.
Lara_B, May 2026
Fantastic day! Ray was wonderful. The entire day was relaxing. We learned about the island and experienced everything we wanted to. I couldn’t recommend this enough.
Jeff_B, May 2026
Juan was a fantastic guide. We were able to customize our tour to see exactly what we wanted and saw more than we could with any group tour.
Jay_G, Apr 2026
Shu was outstanding. Not only did he show us all the best beaches and sites, but his understanding of both Island history and how it all fits into International history was amazing. We highly recommend this tour.
Margaret_W, Apr 2026
This was an excellent day out. Having chosen things we wanted to see and do, Ray incorporated all these into our journey as well as a couple of extras that he thought we would like (and we did!). He was very knowledgeable about everything we saw, and gave us lots of information about his island. We felt safe in a comfortable vehicle, and enjoyed the opportunity to see exactly what we wanted to. Thank you so much Ray!

Took the Curacao Full Day experience and it was great! Juan did a great job picking out places we would enjoy.
Ann_C, Apr 2026
Had a wonderful time with Ray. He was very responsive to our needs, answered all of our questions, let us design our own trip and he genuinely loves his job and his interaction with his clients. We went to a lunch with great food and a beautiful view. The pick up is a short walk from the cruise ship on level ground. Left leaving Curacao with a great appreciation for the country and our driver and hope to return again very soon!!
Tracy_G, Apr 2026
There were 8 in our group and we all enjoyed this tour very much, perhaps even more than we thought we might!!! We wanted to take the opportunity to see as much of the island as possible and understand what we were seeing or where to go when we were on our own. Our guide was Shue and he was fantastic!! Very prompt, very friendly, very knowledgeable and funny too!! Took us some great places and beaches across the island,took us to Playa Forti where we enjoyed our favorite meal during our week long stay on the island!! The grouper and grilled tuna were AMAZING! One of our friends even jumped off the 40 ft Cliff into the beautiful blue waters below!! We visited a blowhole on the island and drove through parts of the capital city!! He took pictures for us at all the places throughout the day!! 7 hours and he never rushed us - they say time flies when you're having fun....and we surely did!!! Would highly recommend!!!! 😊
Christian_B, Apr 2026
We loved this tour! Our guide, Juan, was excellent and very knowledgeable. He even stopped at his parents bakery and got us a loaf of cheese bread, which was amazing! Juan’s passion and love for his home really came through and we definitely went places you’re not going to see on the big cruise line excursions. Our son was giggling about the bumps on some of the unpaved roads, so Juan used his drift car experience to add a little extra fun to our ride. Our kids were laughing hysterically. When we asked our kids what their favorite part of our vacation was, they both answered, “the bumpy roads!” We saw viewpoints only locals would know and it made for a truly authentic experience and gave us a greater appreciation for the island and its culture. I cannot recommend this tour or Juan enough!
Adam_P, Apr 2026
This was my first time doing a private tour and it was great. It was easy to meet our guide near the cruise port. Juan was friendly and knowledgeable. He let us customize our tour and we were able to visit more points of interest than expected. I’d especially recommend a visit to Shete Boka national park. We also visited several beaches, the distillery, and a lookout point. At the end of our tour we asked Juan to drop us off downtown where we were able to explore more on our own and then easily walk back to the cruise port.
Heather_E, Apr 2026
Ray was fantastic- warm, fun, informative and always trying to make our experience tailored to us. Great day overall!

Our time in Curaçao was unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible tour guide, Juan! From the very beginning, he brought such a lighthearted, fun energy that instantly set the tone for an amazing day. He answered all of our questions with ease, albeit with his personality we were hesitant on the accuracy of some of the tales. He made sure we saw every highlight we had hoped for—and then some.
What really made the experience special was how Juan shared the island’s culture with us. From visiting a charming family-run bakery to relaxing at beautiful beaches, seeing the sea turtles and caves, every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen. His personality made everything feel so personal, fun, and effortless—it truly was everything we wanted and more.
We loved every single moment from start to finish and the day felt more like spending the day with a friend. Juan is an absolute treasure, and we feel so lucky to have experienced Curaçao through his eyes! Don’t hesitate to follow him on social media.

Juan took us on an awesome trip around the island to see beautiful beaches, sea turtles, blow holes, and the beautiful town of Willamsted. He gave us a very good history lesson of the island and brought us to a fabulous spot for lunch to enjoy local foods. I highly recommend taking this tour for anyone visiting Cuacao.
April_E, Mar 2026
If you want to see the whole island, book this excursion. What had a blast. Juan took us to all the best beaches. Also, got to visit a couple caves, as well as the blow holes. We even stopped at a spot where all the locals eat.
Haley_W, Mar 2026
Amazing experience! Ray was AWESOME!!!! I highly recommend this company and private tour. Very knowledgeable and took us to all the places we wanted to see plus extra! He took us to a really nice authentic restaurant on the water for lunch - which was an added bonus. Ray was a great tour guide and Curacao was our favorite port of the whole vacation - mainly because of this experience!
Steven_B, Mar 2026
Great tour - Ray did a great job and adjusted the tour as we wanted. His English is outstanding - so he was able to show up around and explain everything perfectly.
David_N, Mar 2026
We hired a local private tour in an SUV for 6 hours to visit the major sites on the island of Curacao.
Joy_S, Mar 2026
Juan was a great host, took us to several great spots to snorkel, see turtles, even to his family’s bakery where we had a delicious cheese bread!
Suzanne_S, Mar 2026
Excellent day seeing the island with Juan our fabulous tour guide!! He was so attentive to our needs and really personified the day for us! Highly recommend!!!
Penny_T, Feb 2026
Ray our tour guide was fabulous. We visited the Shetland Boca National Park, Grote Kip, the Distillery and passed through downtown. We also swam with turtles. Ray our tour guide suggested a wonderful place for lunch overlooking the ocean. The food and drinks were delicious.
Connie_G, Feb 2026
Amazing day spent with Ray. He was so kind in sharing the island with us and making sure we saw everything we wanted. Great knowledge and so kind.
Angela_T, Feb 2026
Juan was great at customizing the tour to our likes. We got to see many things in one day. The highlight was the blow hole
Christine_H, Jan 2026
We very much enjoyed our private half day tour with Juan. He helped us plan our day around the activities we wanted to do and shared some of his local favorites with us. We started our your with the distillery and saw many beautiful beaches, flamingos. Hato Cave, the blow hole in Sheta Boka National Park and many other things. It was a very enjoyable day and I recommend this tour!
Barbara_N, Dec 2025
Wonderful time! Took us to things we wanted and things he recommended. Two seniors with walkers, two adults, one child. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
Doug_J, Dec 2025
Having a private driver/tour guide is the best way to spend a day in Curaçao! Ray is fantastic. He showed us way more in a few hours than we could have managed on our own. Highly recommend this to any couple or small group.
Kevin_J, Dec 2025
Great customised experience with a friendly and knowledgeable guide! We saw the whole island and would recommend this tour highly.
Nancy_L, Dec 2025
We did some minor exploring on our own, but would’ve never discovered all the amazing things that Curaçao had to offer without our incredibly experienced and knowledgeable tour guide Ray.
