Only us and two other people today. Got air conditioned van instead of bus. Mark was an awesome guide. Friendly. Informative. Personal. He handled a flat tire with grace. Had our beach time while he got alternate transportation.

Booked the half day bus tour but luckily we were the only ones booked for that morning and ended up in an air conditioned van with an Excelkent tour guide Hugo. Very Knowledgeable, funny, and prompt. Learned a lot about Aruba and enjoyed our time!

Despite the unique cloudy and somewhat rainy weather, our tour guide Hugo did an excellent job. He took us to all the key spots on our tour, sharing valuable insights and history about the island along the way. We look forward to seeing Hugo again on our next trip to Aruba.

We had a fantastic tour...

Jenna_P, Apr 2026

We had a fantastic tour with Mark! It just ended up being me and my fiancé on the excursion and we both loved every minute! The island is beautiful and we were so glad Mark was there to tell us all the history and secrets of Aruba!!

Not horrible but not...

Craig_K, Apr 2026

Not horrible but not excellent. About 10-15 minutes per stop. Hugo made the best of it. And I don’t need to be reminded to tip or not. If you earned it, you’ll get one!

Fun way to see Aruba’s...

Evin_A, Apr 2026

Fun way to see Aruba’s beautiful landmarks. Easy, not physical strenuous, just bumpy roads. Our guide Hugo was funny and very knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

5/5 stars

Nicole_N, Mar 2026

This tour was an unforgettable five star experience! Our bus tour with Hugo exceeded all my expectations. It was a nice blend of education and entertainment. We learned alot about Arubas history and how the island has come to evolve over time. The itinerary was nicely planned, we were able to explore each site without feeling rushed. This was a stress free adventure for a family of 7 and we would absolutely do it again!

Excellent

Joe_M, Mar 2026

We all had an excellent time. Hugo was great. He was very knowledgable and interesting. It was nice to see another part of the island.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Don't think I'll do this one again

Thonya_R, Mar 2026

While our tour guide, Hugo was very interactive and full of knowledge about the island of Aruba, I did not enjoy this tour. Because there was a small party on the date of my booking. We arrive to see a small van instead of a colorful beach bus. We were not informed of this in advance and it would've been nice to know since I'm over 65 years old and jumping in and out of the back of a van was very hard on my knees. This information should be shared in advance so that the party can make a decision as to whether is good for them or not. I ended up going because I didn't want to lose my money, but if it had not been for that I would not have gone on the tour in that van the places that we stopped to see were amazing and I learned a lot about the history of the island so that was good. You also wanna make sure if you're not staying at a resort that you are clear about your pick up location because we had a little hiccup with that. You also want to make sure that you wear sneakers or swim shoes because there's a lot of walking and climbing.

Great Day

Melodie_G, Mar 2026

Hugo the guide was great - it was a good way to see several interesting areas and learn some history of the island-

Response from Host, Mar 2026

AP was a wonderful tour...

Michelle_M, Mar 2026

AP was a wonderful tour guide. Since there were only 4 of us on the tour, he took his time at the different travel sites and answered all of our questions about Aruba and it's culture. Highly recommend Rockabeach tours and especially AP.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Disappointing

lolasny, Feb 2026

Hugo the driver did a great job !!! Very informative and friendly. If you’re thinking about doing any snorkeling or swimming, this is not the trip for you. In the end we had 30 minutes at the “packed” beach. The natural bridge has collapsed so not much to see there but Hugo made the trip bearable.

Great day trip with Hugo

Carrie_A, Feb 2026

Our driver Hugo was amazing. He is born in Aruba and shared some great stories with us. Highly recommend this trip

A Great Tour of the Island

Irwin_B, Jan 2026

Our tour guide, Hugo, was entertaining, informative, and very personable. He kept us on schedule so that we could see everything on the itinerary but we did not feel rushed. The transportation was an older school bus and the ride was bumpy. There was no air conditioning but the constant breeze made the ride acceptable. Hugo also had music on the speaker system playing. This was a great way to see various parts of the island. Our group was happy that we went on this excursion.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Very informative tour...

Sandra_P, Jan 2026

Very informative tour around island, Patrick the tour guide was great, only 25 min beach time, bus was colorful but not the same as photo

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Great Time!

Krystal_H, Jan 2026

We had such an amazing time! And we learned a lot about Aruba! I’ll definitely do it again!! One of the best experiences

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Fun day seeing the island

Anne_M, Jan 2026

We had fun with our very knowledgeable guide Hugo. He’s local and made sure we saw all the sites and got back to our ship in time. Plenty of water was available. The snack was a small packet of cookies. We had 7 on our bus which was great to spread out. The ride is bumpy with open windows. Music blaring the whole time, however driver lowered it a bit on request. Great way to see the island. Minus a star because at $65 pp it was about double the what the vendors at the port were charging for similar tours. With them however we would have had about 40 people on a bus. We really enjoyed Hugo’s narrative and he readily answered questions and helped us with currency. He’s a real gem. Great guy to spend the day with. Thanks Hugo!

Great tour

Jeffery_R, Jan 2026

Great trip. Mark was a great driver. We saw a few extra sites and the experience was wonderful. We had a family of 10 and they were able to accommodate us next day.

Great tour

Erica_H, Jan 2026

Had a private tour with AB and it was awesome. We thought we were with a whole group but ended up just us! Learned so much about Aruba - the culture, people, island, etc. did tour early in our visit so know where/what to check out more!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Lovely day in Aruba

Rosalynd_K, Jan 2026

This was a very good trip. We were the only people on the trip, but we had a great day and were very well looked after by Mark. He told us a lot about the sights we visited and gave us ample time at each. He was also our official photographer! At the end of the trip, he took us to a lovely beach for swimming. Thank you Mark for a wonderful introduction to Aruba.

Hugo was a very experienced driver and tour guide, everything is in a rush, but overall I still recommend this tour.

0* out of 10

Michael_S, Nov 2025

Tour operator was not at location that app said, I contacted operator to inquire where they would be and got no response. Once time the tour should have started, I finally got a response from operator stating they were running late and that they would meet at a different location then in app. At this point since it was late and they were not able to pick up from the cruise port I requested a refund/cancellation. Viator sided with their business partner. If I’m late they leave me, when they are late no worries you can wait. I have serious reservations about ever using Viator or this tour service. I would recommend going through your cruise line, it’s not worth the hassle of dealing with outside operators.
