Larry_E, Oct 2025

It immersed you into the art culture of Aruba. It was a great way to see wonderful art and learn about the culture of Aruba at the same time.

Community and Art

Manuel_M, Oct 2025

I found this excursion to be quite refreshing. I truly enjoyed how each piece relayed the message of justice as it related to the community as a whole. Our guide, Nico, was quite knowledgeable and had a pleasant and warm disposition. I would definitely recommend the excursion for anyone who appreciates both gallery and street art. The Martinez's

Great Tour that brings San Nicholas to Life

Ernest_I, May 2025

A must for art buffs and people who appreciate artistry and collaboration.The history behind the tour was very informative and made it far better than just going yourself. And Tito's passion and going the extra mile really tied the whole tour together, as well as picking us up and dropping us off at the end of the tour. Recommended.

Worth a look

Ann_M, Feb 2025

Amazing street art murals. Very talented artists. Interesting art galleries and info on the art scene in San Nicolas. Hospitable host.

Walking tour of the beautiful murals!

Joan_B, Feb 2025

This is the best tour to experience the murals of San Nicholas with the man who is behind them all, Tito. He is revitalizing his town with the beautiful murals from artists all over the world. Tito knows the story behind the murals and the artists intimately. This is a valuable and worthwhile tour.

Unorganized?

SashaAnn_W, Nov 2024

Booked the experience on Monday November 4 around 6pm, for the next day Tuesday at 4pm. I then messaged Tito to confirm the booking. He messaged back and said he couldn't do the tour on Tuesday, that he had a meeting and offered Wednesday. The message was casual and there was no apology offered. Less than 24 hours, so I couldn't cancel myself. Had to contact support for a refund. I don't understand why he didn't just update the availability of the tour to prevent people from booking.

A Wonderful Experience

LaTrina_R, Sep 2024

Awesome Experience!! Our tour guide Tito relaunched the entire ARTist scene in Aruba. Lots of beautiful murals and history of St. Nicholas region of the Aruba Island. Don't wait book this Experience Now! Thanks Tito.

Art tour

Kenneth_C, Mar 2024

It was a wonderful experience looking at and learning the history of each murals that we were able to see(Michelle did a good job for her first time). As for Mr. Tito, I was so inspired by his story and how he had a vision to have an annual Arts fair.

Walking Mural Tour

Janet_B, Feb 2024

Tito was our guide, a true story teller and shared the stories of each mural. He is passionate about the art and really puts his heart and soul into the experience. I highly recommend the mural tour.

Amazing! Highly Recommend

Rachel_K, Feb 2024

Highly recommend this tour! The art was great and Jean our tour guide added a ton of context to each piece and pointed out things we would have missed. Also glad we did the tour with transport. Overall a great afternoon!

A must-have tour

Macy_G, Dec 2023

It's my favourite tour of Aruba. Fantastic art and stories and a very engaging and funny tour guide Tito. Smooth pickup.

Book in Error, Best Tour of the Vacation!

Thomas_H, Dec 2023

I really enjoyed this tour. Quite frankly, I booked it by accident, but it was GREAT! It turns out that I have a real interest in Wall Murals, and other artistic endeavors. I got to see a part of Arruba many won't know they missed. The guide gave the stats and an almost gallery type of explanation of the many meanings the murals represented. If you like art, and if you are like me, envious of how artists convey their feelings, this is a worthwhile tour for you.

Lovely Treat

Monique_E, Nov 2023

Tito and Gene were amazing. Great storytelling. Murals were beautiful. The gallery had a great selection of artist as welll!

Not good

Paula_B, Sep 2023

I'd leave zero stars if I could. Was in lobby at 3:50 pm and waited till 4:20 pm to be picked up. Was supposed to been picked up at 4 pm. So, we didn't get to go on the tour since nobody picked us up. I'd like to get a refund if possible, was very disappointed for not being able to go.

Karolin_K, Sep 2023

Great tour!! We learned a lot! Would recommend this to anyone visiting Aruba especially for those whose visiting for the first time!

AMAZING!!!

DAnna_K, Aug 2023

We started with a very lovely and informative ride with Tito’s Mom, Diana, had an amazing experience with Jean, the rollerblading artist, and ended with an introduction to Tito’s sweet 2 month old baby girl! We highly recommend the whole story walking tour as a must to do when in Aruba!

I Love San Nicolas

Denise_H, Aug 2023

If you love the Arts, this is a MUST SEE tour! Street Art taken to another level. Imagine walking around a small town and all the walls tell a story. Brilliant idea Tito, of revitalizing a town that was left deserted. Our tour guide Jean was great! The best part was meeting Tito, his mom Diana, and his beautiful new baby girl! My next trip to Aruba will be scheduled around Art week, September! Blessing to you Tito, your family, and all the brilliant artists who tell the story of San Nicolas through their talented street art! ♥️

Nice tour if you like art and history

Carole_B, Aug 2023

The Mural Tour was enjoyable. It started out with us introducing ourselves and telling each other what art meant to us, then a little bit of history of San Nicolas. I could take or leave this part. The murals themselves were pretty and the history was interesting. I warn you if you cant take walking in the heat, this may not be the tour for you. It was hot! We took the 9 am tour thinking it would be cooler, but they explained that the sun rises early in San Nicolas, so it is hot earlier, so the 4 pm tour may be better for you. One of our guides, Tito was very nice on the drive home. We asked if he could stop and take a picture of us in front the the "ARUBA" sign and he was very accomodating.

Highly recommended!!!

Brandon_A, Aug 2023

To begin, I am not an artist at all! There are so many amazing pieces of art to see in San Nicolas. By taking the tour and getting the background or reason for each of them makes the trip much more memorable. Highly recommend taking this tour.
