It's a comfortable laid back tour. The vehicle was air-conditioned. We had enough time to see each event at our stops. Interesting point: After seeing the lighthouse, one can stay at the nearby beach until others are dropped off. The driver returns to pick up those passengers. Peter was our driver. He's patient, a good driver, humorous, and has a great wealth of knowledge. We recommend him!

Aruba Island Sightseeing

Debbie_F, Apr 2026
The Aloe Factory was an amazing experience. The church, lighthouse and other sites were interesting and gave us a good sense of the Island. A few cons: There was no identifying signage on the vehicle, nor was there anyone with a sign. We had to contact the tour operator to make connection. Very frustrating. The bus was horribly uncomfortable. It felt like a breakdown was going to occur on every hard bump in the road. Our tour guide spent a bit more time talking about a tip than I was comfortable with. The first ask was more than enough.

Great island tour!

DawnE_D, Apr 2026
Had a great trip with Peter getting to know the island, his knowledge of Aruba was educating! he was friendly and helpful throughout. Tip: if you are on Royal Caribbean wait by the excursion area and he will turn up on time :)

Great Tour. Sketchy Van.

Michael_L, Apr 2026
Peter was an exceptional tour guide. He gave lots of very interesting information throughout the tour and and was happy to answer questions. He even stopped at a grocery store because some people in our group wanted to see it. Not sure why, but it was fine. The downside of that was that we were rushed at the gold mining fort and the light house, both of which we only had 10 minutes at, which was not nearly long enough Also, the van we were in was very old and felt like it May break down at any moment.

It is a short trip but covered a lot of ground in a short period of time! Visited the ruins, casabari, aloe factory and lighthouse. Tour guide Peter was knowledgeable

Unsatisfied

GThomas_H, Oct 2025
Be careful at stops. The driver left four at the first stop my wife and I were two of the four. The driver also stated inaccurate facts and stories. He talked too much about things that had nothing to with the tour and then point out things after passing them

Great choice for a tour in Aruba

Jennifer_R, Oct 2025
This tour is a perfect way to “ see the important sights “ in Aruba. Our tour guide, Ricardo, was a terrific driver/host! The length of the tour was just right and allowed us to enjoy the rest of the day at our hotel ….

Three hour tour

Mary_K, Oct 2025
Nice trip around to see a few of the top things to see. Our driver was great, funny and knowledgeable.

Our tour operator was very informative and answered all of our questions. It was a very good tour. I would highly recommend it. It was a good way to see Aruba !

A great starter tour for Aruba

Cheryl_L, Jul 2025
We enjoyed this tour - we had seen some of the highlights previously on a ship excursion, but due to weather we didn't fully enjoy it so we wanted a do over since we were staying on the island. I thought the Aloe tour was very interesting, Casabari rock was nice- there are great views at the top. We had been here before so we skipped the climb this time and walked around to see the other things like the stone formations which seem natural and the rest of the park area. We then went to the Gold Mine Ruins which to me was not worth the stop unless you are into ruins. I didn't see any signs giving up any history but the views are very nice there. It is a lot of uneven walking inside the ruins so definitely not for anyone with limitations. We visited the chapel which was beautiful. We stopped here prior also but it was raining pretty hard so we couldn't see much. I was glad for a revisit. Small but beautiful. Our last stop was the California Lighthouse. We had also been here once before but it wasn't open. It is open now but we opted not to climb the steps due to physical limitations but the surrounding views are spectacular. Ricardo was our guide and he was very informative, funny and kind. He provided very cold water which was needed on a humid day. I think the headset should be updated as it was hard to hear him sometimes.

Informative city tour

Jessica_L, Jun 2025
The Aruba highlights tour with Peter as the guide was a great tour, Peter was knowledgeable, gave tips, and answered questions, I would highly recommend this tour.

Great! Interesting and...

Great! Interesting and comfortable excursion. Nice tour if it’s your first time in Aruba. Enjoy it!!

Must see!

Marty_P, Feb 2025
We stayed at the Riu for a week and took this tour.This was a great overall tour of the island! The aloe factory was very interesting and loved the park. Try the watermelon juice. Yummy!

Interesting & informative tour

KoonMing_C, Jan 2025
Interesting Tour. Instruction about meeting point was not clear & confusing. Should mention whether the meeting point is inside the terminal or outside near the gate. We were told by representative from Viator that we should wait outside the gate for the bus; but the bus did not come after the scheduled time. The rep. then phoned the tour operator & was informed that we should be waiting inside the terminal. We had to walk back which took another 10 minutes. We saw a white bus coming out towards us - so we stopped the bus & the driver told us our bus was gone. We were taken to another smaller bus - wasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Disappointing! Must be precise & 100% clear about the exact location of the meeting point.

Great tour highlighting Aruba

Diane_K, Nov 2024
Our guide was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and helpful. He spoke English and Spanish so everyone understood. He encouraged questions. It was averygood tour.

Amazing

Christine_M, Nov 2024
Peter was amazing so much fun and knowledgeable so happy the tour was so fun so happy I took this tour. It was our honeymoon. My husband decided to stay back because we were out too late partying in the casinos, but I wanted to do the tour so I went, yay so much fun I enjoyed with other couples

Fantastic tour, well worth it

Tonia_J, Sep 2024
A must see and do. Beautiful island. You’ll have many tour company options, but certainly choose this one. Comprehensive, fun and entertaining. The cost was very reasonable and they picked us up from our hotel which was great given we didn’t have a car

Disappointed

Marti_E, Sep 2024
Our tour guide Peter was great! I felt we did not have enough time at each stop..10 minutes was not enough time to enjoy the stops! The “air conditioning” in the bus was not sufficient if working at all.

Fascinating tour and tour guide

Anne_W, Sep 2024
Peter was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and went into details about each stop that we visited. We enjoyed seeing all of the sight and the history of each stop.

Great tour

Aruba island tour

Bruce_R, Aug 2024
The tour itself was very good. However, pickup time was 8:30, they did not arrive until 9am. There was no communication or contact from the tour provider. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable.

Not pleased with driver

Karen_H, Aug 2024
Peter, the driver was late. the communication of what time the driver was actually coming was poor. I met 2 other drivers (one drove a van & the other drove a smaller Bus) every time I asked where you there for me, all I heard was oh he's coming. Pick up time was scheduled for 8:30 am, we were picked up after 9 am. I called the company I registered thru (in Vegas) 3 different times and I asked will out time be extended. The tour was scheduled for 3 1/2 hours. I was dropped off at 12:10. The driver had great historical facts of the island.

Tour of Aruba

Kevin_W, Aug 2024
I recommend this tour to anyone who visits Aruba. We had a very knowledgeable guide who gave us time at each designated spot and also gave us a history of the place. His name was Peter. Again, don’t miss this tour

Trip around the island

Leila_J, Jul 2024
Got to see many sights. Had a courteous driver that was on time and personable. We learned many things about the island that day. The air conditioning works well. There is no toilet.

Wonderful

Jacqueline_M, Jul 2024
Learning about Aruba, the culture and the people. Visiting the different places. Admiring the beautiful surroundings and people.

Fantastic tour

MARILYN_V, Jul 2024
Peter, our tour guide, was an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. He was so entertaining and knowledgeable and personable. He has a great sense of humor. We were lucky to have him. He answered all our questions and I had many. Would strongly suggest taking this tour. It's a bargain.
