Overall nice tour. Covered much of island. Tour guide was energetic and informative Spent enough. time at each spot
Ato is a great tour guide. He made the experience fun, and I learned a lot about Aruba. I really enjoyed this excursion. Thank you.
Great eclxperuence. Had so mych fn. our tour guide Curtis was wonderful. Curtis was funny and very informative. Definitely an activity to do in Aruba.
It’s a definite must. Great to learn history on this beautiful island. Our guide, Curtis was informative and at times funny lending the day enjoyable,
1st our driver Kurtis was great, very knowledgeable, explanation of the history of the island.
This trip showed us some parts of the island that we haven't seen in our previous 2 trips here.
Went on same tour 4 years ago. Not as good this time. Could not hear driver with all the rattling of the vehicle. Wasn’t as informative as last tour. Took family this time and was disappointed with how much info was left out. Made it boring.
We had a very good experience, especially with the tour guide. He was very approachable, knowledgeable and fun
Weren’t provided info about who was picking us up, very confusing initially. Once we finally had a driver, she was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure that everybody was comfortable throughout. Gave ample time at each site. Very enjoyable experience.

Thank you for choosing us to explore Aruba, and we hope to welcome you back again! 🌴☀️
Too much time was spent at the first location the aloe vera factory/ museum. This created a rush to visit the other locations on the tour. Using a driver as a guide and driver is unsafe and ineffective with two language groups. I learned more by googling information than I did from the guide. Actually, too little information was given for any of the locations. Missing the Alo Vera Chapel was due to poor planning and delays. Could have rectified by have the first stop only 30 minutes.
It was great having transportation provided to visit all of these sites, which made getting around very convenient. However, our experience felt more like having a bus driver take us from one destination to another than having a true tour guide. We would have appreciated more information and commentary about the sites we were visiting along the way.
One other suggestion would be to provide an exact specific hotel pickup time rather than a 40-minute pickup window. Having to wait around or rush not knowing when the bus is coming is inconvenient and makes it easy to waste time.
We had a fantastic half-day tour with Curtis! He had great stories, was so friendly & told us all about Aruba. He never made any stops feel rushed and took his time to answer questions from everyone on the tour. Also, this was a small, intimate tour of about 11 people, which made it feel customized. Also, it was really great to be picked up at the resort. I highly recommend this tour, especially for first time visitors to Aruba. Keep up the GRESTNESS!!!
Ato was a great tour guide; friendly and knowledgeable. Air conditioned van. Great stops with just enough time to explore!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tour! Traveling solo, I had an amazing experience. The guide was friendly, everything was well organized, and I got to see so many beautiful places in Aruba. Highly recommend!
Very informative. Learned alot about Aruba and its culture. Driver was great and we had a great time.
They picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel which was very convenient our tour guide gave us a great history lesson on Aruba and what makes the island so special. There were several stops during the tour which allowed us to take pictures and use the restroom. The island is so beautiful and everyone was so nice which made it all so relaxing and comfortable. I highly recommend anyone to take the tour and see the beautiful island and all it has to offer.
We didn't get to see the aloe factory in operation but learned about the history of aloe and what it's used for. We enjoyed all of the additional stops as well. Our favorite part was hanging with Mary and her wealth of knowledge.
This activity is the perfect way to explore part the island main attractions in a short period of time. The route is pretty easy and with amazing views. The communication was good and on time. My tour guide/driver was Stephanie, she is a sweetheart and very knowledgeable about the island. I would definitely recommend it, specially if you are traveling with kids or even if no and you just want something simple but with lots of information about the island. I would recommend the tour to anyone and I would be looking forward to visit again. Thank you !
Ato was such a great tour guide. Funny, knowledgeable and jumped into action to help one of the guest on the tour find and retrieve her phone after leaving it at one of the stops! I highly recommend this tour for those looking for a nice experience with history and an easy going time.
Great experience! We learned a lot about the Aruba culture and history. Our tour guide was friendly and it was a great experience with the perfect amount of time at each spot. We weren’t rushed but it also didn’t feel like we were waiting around. We were able to cover numerous areas and landmarks in the 1/2 day trip.
I had a smooth and enjoyable experience overall, even though my resort wasn’t one of the designated pickup locations. We met the group at the first stop, the Aruba Aloe Museum, and once everyone arrived, our driver gave us a quick briefing before we headed out.
We made several stops along the way, plus a few slow drive‑bys to take in the scenery. Our driver, a knowledgeable local, shared great insights about the chapel, native trees, and the island’s unique rock formations. It was a windy day, and at one point some money flew out of my hand — he didn’t hesitate to help us chase it down. We found it, by the way.
At the end of the tour, he even dropped us off at our resort since it was on his route to take other guests home. A thoughtful touch that wrapped up the experience nicely.
Great tour. Our guide, Ato was very knowledgeable. Enjoyed
Aloe Farm and the factory. Learned a lot about Aruba on this tour.
This was a great tour. Our guide always Ato, he was super friendly, bus was comfortable and we learned a lot about Aruba that just explains why it’s an amazing place to be! The Aloe factory was hands down our favorite part!
Mary was our tour guide, and was so knowledgeable, charismatic, and kept us all engaged the entire tour. We stayed on time, the bus was air conditioned and we experienced amazing scenery and the culture. This isn’t advertised but they also offer transportation service and the prices were more affordable than taxis. Jackie was so helpful with ensuring pickup back to our hotel so we could enjoy dinner and we’re so grateful!!! We will always use this service when in Aruba.
Farley was friendly and knowledgeable. The half day tour was great; I think any longer would’ve been too long for my liking. I loved getting to see different parts of Aruba without having to rent my own car. I also appreciated that this tour is in an air conditioned bus and a bottle of water was offered.
Good overview of the places of interest in Aruba. Aloe Factory was interesting. Right amount of time at each stop. The driver was Mary and she was knowledgeable and friendly.
Absolutely wonderful, our driver/tour guide was great and very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour
It was amazing. We were able to see the whole island from the light house to the aloe factory and wild donkeys.
We loved getting to see the island. Our tour guide Otto was amazing. Aruba is so beautiful. And being in an air conditioned van was essential.
We had a nice air-conditioned shuttle. Some other tourslines are open air buses, that we saw - -I was very glad for the cool as I'm not used to the heat and humidity. The stops were not overly incredible but they showed us the best they had and gave us information all about their island. It is more dry and desertlike than I expected. It was a full tour and we saw everything. The pickup was near the port, just outside the port gates near Diamonds International. It was a longer walk for my older parents but at the end they dropped them right off by the cruise ship so they didn't have to walk as far. (The walk to outside the terminal is about 2 blocks.) We were dropped off near the shopping area. Our driver let us quickly stop for pictures near a pretty beach spot. We did have some other guests who were not as diligent in watching the time at each stop so that slowed us down just a little. Not the guides fault though. Overall a full tour for a very reasonable price.
Marry was out tour guide and she was awesome! she was very informative, pleasant, and funny. She made the tour worth taking!
