Lady, Ruth and Donna were great tour guides/drivers when it came to the history and info on Curacao. They all kept high energy and Lady added a great sense of humor to the tour. I had fun and definitely recommend! The oxtail at Plasa Bieu were sooo good as well.

No stop on Rif fort, Fort Waakzamheid , Zakito, we didn’t know why?
The tour was not started on time at 8 AM because driver and tour guide still need to pick up tourists in two different hotels
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify that the tour officially starts at 9:00 AM, after all guests are picked up from their hotels, which ensures everyone can join comfortably. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again.

I’m so glad my friends and I decided to go on this tour. The tour guide Angelo was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was clear with his instructions and made everyone feel comfortable. Debby was a rockstar as well! We felt safe riding with her. We learned so much about Curacao on this tour and was able to taste some of their local dishes. We were able to take some beautiful pictures and even drove next to a bus of children on their way to school, who showed us so much joy. I recommended this tour to anyone who would love to know Curacao’s history.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you and your friends enjoyed the tour, and that Angelo and Debby made the experience memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for another great adventure! ❤️💛💚

This was an excellent tour. Our driver, Lisa, and our guide, Angelo, were great. Angelo did a phenomenal job at explaining the different areas we visited & the history behind the sites. He's also very entertaining, which added to the fun of the tour. Lisa showed off her top-tier driving skills, very impressive!
We were given ample time to explore and take pictures at each stop. I would suggest wearing very comfortable shoes because we did quite a bit of walking. Our stop for lunch was also really good. The vendors prepared traditional Curacao food.
Overall, it was a VERY good tour & I would definitely recommend it!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour with Angelo and Lisa. It’s great to know that the history, fun, and food all made your experience special. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! ❤️💛💚

This was a great tour. We were provided a wonderful and informative tour of this gem of an island country. I got some amazing pictures of the city. Our tour guide Alejandro and driver Debby were great! I highly recommend this tour especially if this is your first visit.

Judith_B, Jun 2024
The half-day Willemstad tour was charming, and Angelo our tour guide was very entertaining! Just note that the open-air bus doesn't provide relief from the hot, steamy climate (for anyone accustomed to air conditioning) in the city streets. Some of the tour highlights were the beautiful murals in Otrobanda, and the story and monuments behind the Fight for Freedom Park, as told by Angelo. Very moving!!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the charming half-day Willemstad tour with Angelo as your entertaining guide. Your feedback about the open-air bus and highlights like the murals in Otrobanda and Fight for Freedom Park is appreciated. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
Line_B, May 2024
Angelo and Lisa made this experience one we will remember for a long time. Their enthusiasm, joie de vivre, attention given to everyone is unequaled!! The walking tour was fun and very informative. The murals and the explanation of their meanings meant a great deal. Lisa is the best driver in town and Angelo is the best guide in town and together they form a fantastic team. I would have done this tour again if I could have!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Angelo and Lisa made your experience memorable and enjoyable. Your kind words about their enthusiasm and expertise mean a lot to us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on another tour in the future! ❤️💛💚

This is a nice 1/2 day tour. Our tour guide Miguel was charming and was knowledgeable. The walking tour of the Ortrobanda section of the city was filled with interesting, high-caliber street art. Since it was a national holiday the streets were empty and not much was open. Because of this, the tour was modified to swap out the market tour with an hour at Kokomo Beach, which we enjoyed. We were only notified a couple of days beforehand even though I’m sure this would have been known at the time of booking. The bus was an open windowed school bus, so be prepared for a good amount of wind when on the open road. But, it was good for picture taking without getting out of the bus. The title of this tour is a bit misleading since it mentions lunch, which is not included in the tour price. It’s really lunch “on your own”.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Miguel. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the last-minute changes. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll take it into account for future improvements. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
Richard_U, Jul 2023
Give credit to Miguel he was a great tour director. He do extra favors to make sure we have a great experience at Curaçao. Not a beer drinker but I guzzled 3 it was free lol. Visiting the Curaçao liquor Distillery was a good experience. I recommend this excursion to everyone. You won’t be disappointed.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you very much for your recommendation, we really appreciate this. ❤️💛💚

Miguel was an awesome tour guide! He showed us all of the great local spots and gave great detailed history of all the sites. I would highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Daniel, Thank you very much for your recommendation and review. We hope to see you soon, back with us ❤️💛💚
Janice_M, May 2023
It was an amazing experience. Our tour guide explained the different areas of Curacao as the bus drive through the city. We learned in depth history of Curaçao from past to present.
Response from Host, May 2023
Janice, thank you for your kind review. We hope to see you soon back on the island. ❤️💛💚

I have been on many wonderful tours (mostly booked through Trip Advisor) but this was in my top 3 immediately! We were so fortunate to have Virnalissa (Lisa) with Irie Sightseeing Tours as our guide. She had us enchanted and engaged on pickup. Lisa read our group well and adapted her tour to our interests...providing history and anecdotes as well as keeping us laughing the whole time...7 hours flew by and we have come away with a charmed & personal view of Curacao. A side note: I do wish Viator would give more credit to their local guides/operators. It was hard to find the information after our tour.
Aida_L, Mar 2023
Everything about the tour was great. Lisa is very experienced, friendly, and she sees to it that all of our needs during the tour is addressed to. All the history and culture of the island, Lisa knows by heart. I can’t wait to tell my family & friends back home to visit Curacao and have Lisa as their tour guide. I’m sure they won’t be disappointed.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you for recommending our tour to your family and for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you on the tour, and we're glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Lisa and the rest of the team are looking forward to welcoming you back for another tour, and we can't wait to show you more of our beautiful island. Greetings from your Dushi people on Curaçao

Good trip to see the main sites of the island. Miguel was a great tour guide. The open bus is a fun idea for kids
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hi Anna, s glad to hear that you as a family had a fun time with us. This is what we aim for, a good, fun time with us. Thank you for your review
Paige_P, Dec 2022
Miguel was the best! He showed so much Willemstad history and showed us the best food to try at the plaza.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hello Paige. I'll let Miguel know that you think he's the best. He'll appreciate this, for sure! Thank you for your review.
Jill_J, Aug 2022
Great day, our tour guide made this such a fun time he was so knowledgeable about all the places we visited. His stories were so entertaining he made us feel like we were “ old friends” Loved where we stopped for lunch he gave us 2 choices and had authentic food from the island . Would’ve liked a little time to go souvenir shopping maybe instead of the last 2 hours at the beach cut that down a bit . Otherwise we had a great day thanks to him . So glad we decided to take this tour .
Nicollette_R, Jun 2022
Great historic tour of the country with stops to take photos. Visited the Curacao liquor factory and learn how is made. Did the tasting and you can also purchase there. Speed off at the beach where beachchairs were provided. You can buy lunch at the beach, swim or snorkel. Bob our tour guide was great at explaining the site's to us and pick up was on time.
VIVIANA_C, Oct 2024
Aunque la guia es muy amable y carismática, el recorrido no fue de nuestro agrado.
Los lugares visitados no son muy relevantes. La parada del almuerzo es en una zona muy fea y sin nada que valga la pena visitar.

Tive uma experiência muito ruim hoje com este pacote que comprei da VIATOR que como vc mesmo informou acima é Descubra Willemstad e almoço e na hora fui informado pela operadora local que não estáva incluído o almoço!
Como cliente antigo da VIATOR e recorrente e por ter ficado sem almoço e pelo desagradável momento que passei solicito o reembolso integral do pagamento realizado.
Como cliente antigo da VIATOR e recorrente e por ter ficado sem almoço e pelo desagradável momento que passei solicito o reembolso integral do pagamento realizado.
E peço que VIATOR retire essa informação da descrição do pacote para que não ocorra mais este desagradável problema com outros clientes!
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência conosco. Pedimos desculpas por qualquer confusão em relação ao pacote de passeio. Nosso título, "Descubra Willemstad & Almoço Local (meio dia)", indica que há uma parada em um local para o almoço, mas não inclui o custo do almoço. Esse detalhe está claramente mencionado na descrição do passeio. Entendemos sua frustração e pedimos desculpas pelo inconveniente que você enfrentou. Saudações da Equipe Irie.
Johanna_S, Nov 2022
Muy bueno el tour. Se recorren los sitios principales, hay paradas con buen tiempo para tomar fotos, el guía es súper amable. Nos recogieron muy puntuales en la puerta del hotel. Deberían aclarar que el bus es de ventanas abiertas y no tiene aire, pero realmente es muy cómodo y hay mucha brisa así que no es necesario el aire. La playa en la que se termina el tour es demasiado llena, no habían sillas para sentarse y muy muy llena. De resto todo súper.
Patricio_R, Jun 2022
Contratamos el tour en Español, pero el guia hablo casi todo el tour en ingles, uso como excusa que habia personas que hablaban 3 idiomas (español, holandés e ingles) y que por eso iba a guiar en ingles ya que asi entendemos todos. Solo explicó brevemente es español cosas puntuales que le preguntamos.
En la parte mas pintoresca de Willemstad no se detuvo ni un momento para tomar una foto.
Nos llevó a almorzar a un mercado en el que demoramos 2 horas para terminar la comida. Y dijo que no es su culpa, que las personas del mercadso son las que se demora, luego fuimos a la playa 2 horas mas.
La parada en la fabrica de licores casi no tiene mayor importancia
El recorrido por la isla fue rapido con un par de paradas.
Gastamos demasiado tiempo (2 horas) en el amuerzo y (2 horas) en la playa. 0 (CERO) minutos para bajar y tomar al menos una foto decente frente a las casas pintoresa en Willemstad (Otrabanda).
