Kurt was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a wonderful time spending the day with him- learning and exploring Curaçao. Would highly recommend him and his tour!
Howard_W, Feb 2026
Great flexibility to design your own tour and learn more about the island and its culture. Curt was very informative and made us feel at ease immediately. Good use of time and never felt rushed.

Our private guided tour of Curaçao was amazing!!! Anita our guide and Victor our driver were very detailed oriented and let us plan our day. We visited the Hato Caves, went swimming with sea turtles and tropical fish, and visited Shete Boka National Park. The west side of Curacao was very beautiful and Anita told about the culture and history of this island. Door to door pick up and drop off, best air conditioning, snacks/drinks, and towels/snorkel gear wear all available. This was the BEST start of our first trip to Curaçao and Anita even fished up our trip with a list of places to visit during our stay on the island. Private tour is unbeatable - you won’t be disappointed!!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that your private guided tour of Curaçao was such an amazing experience. Anita and Victor will be so happy to know that their knowledge, hospitality, and attention to detail made your day unforgettable. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the variety of stops. From the Hato Caves to swimming with turtles, Shete Boka, and exploring the beautiful west side of the island.
We’re also glad that the comfort of the bus, the snacks, drinks, towels, and snorkel gear helped make the day even more enjoyable. Anita always goes the extra mile with her recommendations, and we’re delighted she helped you plan the rest of your trip!
Thank you again for choosing a private tour with us. We’re honored to have been part of your first experience in Curaçao, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Guide Anita was extremely knowledgeable. Knows her heritage. Driver Nadine was great as well. I would recommend this private tour.

Wow what can we say!! This tour was everything we wanted. We explored the entire island, we snorkeled at beautiful beaches, saw a sea turtle, stopped to see the wild flamingoes, stopped to eat lunch at Playa Forti and it was DELICIOUS, and we even stopped at a gallery and bought some local art. Our guide Anita and driver were absolutely fabulous and we could not recommend this tour more. If you want a private tour of the whole island - this is absolutely the way to go. We got snacks and a cooler full of drinks included. We also did the tour on a Sunday and a lot of the stores in Willemstad were closed, however, our guides brought the city to us and even brought the Curacao liqueur for us to do a personal tasting! When they say they will do anything for you that you want, they mean it! Wherever you want to go, they will cater to you!! The tour was so fun and we learned so much about the beautiful country of Curaçao. Thank you Anita for everything!!! ❤️
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re so happy to hear you had such a wonderful time exploring Curaçao with us. It sounds like you truly made the most of your day. From snorkeling and spotting turtles to enjoying local art, delicious food, and even a personal Curacao liqueur tasting!
Anita and our driver will be thrilled to know how much you appreciated their efforts to make the experience special and flexible for you. We love showing guests the real Curaçao and creating memories that last.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure on our beautiful island!

Absolutely the best tour! Anita and our driver were amazing. We had a full day and wanted more! Highly Recommend!!
joseph_j, May 2025
Ruth did a great job showing us around the island. We totally enjoyed the history of the island and many of the special site we saw. She was kind enough to set up a lunch for us, which was excellent. We went to the beaches, saw the turtles, and watch the waves crash against the land - absolutely spectacular.
Kimberly_G, Mar 2025
Anita was a wonderful guide and very patient with my family. She planned a full itinerary for us based on our input and when my son had an allergic reaction she got us back to ship for medicine and then back on our adventure. I am so glad we had a private tour and they were very accomodating with our situation and we still got to see beaches, caves, turtles and eat at a scenic restaurant.
Amy_R, Mar 2025
Our wonderful day in Curacao started with a land tour of the city and several historic site, where we learned about the history and culture of the island. On the way to the beach we had lunch at a charming little restaurant perched on a high cliff with amazing food and beautiful views of clear blue Caribbean waters below. After lunch we headed for the beach for a few hours of swimming and relaxation. This tour was flexible and allows guests to create a customized itinerary which we did with the help of our wonderful guide to ensure that we made the most of our time on the island.
Abbey_R, Feb 2025
It was nice to have our own driver to show us around but it was just my husband and I in a huge multi-passenger bus which felt kind of weird. The tour guide was great from a knowledge standpoint but I felt that for a private tour, we seemed rushed through a lot of places. He would often go with us to see the sites therefore it was not as “private” of a tour as I had hoped. Yes, we got to see a lot of Curaçao but it was kind of weird having someone follow you around while doing it.
Tammy_S, Feb 2025
We did a private tour with Ed. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We came with a list of places we wanted to see and he took it from there. Great tour and worth the extra money for a private tour! Would highly recommend!
Patrick_D, Jan 2025
Our tour guide Ali was very knowledgeable. Got to see a lot of the island from the developed parts, downtown Willemstad then the best part of the island, the West side. Definitely recommend requesting Ali. This is on a small bus so great for larger party of people
Teresa_M, Jan 2025
Anita and Al were amazing guides! We learned and saw so much on this tour. This tour beyond exceeded our expectations!!
Nathan_P, Jan 2025
This was the best tour I have ever had. Anita was hands down the best tour guide. Patrick was a great driver. We will be coming back.
Michaela_H, Jan 2025
Anita with Samuri tours was absolutely incredible. Not only was her knowledge of the island and the different populations on the island impressive, but she was also hilarious! It felt more like we were traveling around Curacao with our long time friend than with a guide we had only met that day. At one point in the day it began to rain and she was quick to offer alternative sites in the event it was still raining when we arrived at Shete Boka. Our itinerary included a long visit to Willemstad, and then we ventured up to the north western portion of the island to swim with turtles, visit the amazing cave at Shete Boka, and lunch and swimming with turtles at Playa Piska. We finished the day with a tasting of Curacao. It was truly the highlight of our trip and Anita recommended several other things for us to do while we visited the beautiful island of Curacao!
Ann_H, Jan 2025
This "tour" is way, way, WAY overpriced. It's not a tour - it's a taxi service between attractions, none of which are included in the price. You'd think the exorbitant price would at least include an enthusiastic driver, but ours was definitely not. As we greeted him and boarded the van, I reiterated that we were interested in activities that the five children in our group would like (which I had also explained in an email to the tour operator days prior). His reply (loud enough for everyone in our group to hear), "There's no activities for children on this island." His reply and indifferent behavior set the tone for our entire day.
We did our best to put a positive spin on the day, but I wouldn't recommend this "tour" to anyone. I've done 50+ Viator tours, and this was one of the worst. Forewarned is forearmed.
Kelly_Z, Dec 2024
Can I give Anita 100 stars? We had such a great time with her as we snorkeled with turtles and went to an amazing beach before having a delicious Curaçaon lunch and sightseeing on the island. She gave us fantastic advice, made us laugh and made our Christmas tour so memorable.
We can’t wait to come back and see her again in her new beachside home!
Beryl_G, Dec 2024
We had no idea of the places to go, so Anita and the driver took us everywhere! The education and the beauty of the island was phenomenonal. Anita and the driver (I'm unable to remember her name) were patient with us and hilarious. It felt like we knew them for years because they made us so comfortable. I highly recommend
Lusine_H, Dec 2024
Amazing experience with Marvin! Great photographer, very friendly and knowledgeable of the places for Photoshoots. Highly recommended!
Dorothy_P, Dec 2024
Ali was amazing. He is A top tier tour guide and host. We spent a full day with him where he customized the tour and made the sight seeing special. He was very knowledgeable and informative and answered all of our questions graciously. We will definitely request Ali on our next trip to Curacao.
Ronald_M, Nov 2024
Wonderful full day tour with the best guide (Anita) who felt more like a friend than a paid guide.
We saw everything we asked for and then a whole lot more based on her suggestions.
Great lunch stop as well.
Just the right mix of information, sights and history.
Sad to see the day end.
Valorie_W, Nov 2024
THANK YOU!! We had such a wonderful time with Anita and Jeanette and they took great care of us. We saw/did everything on our list plus all the other interesting places they took us to. I'm going to make Oliebollens for our family for New Year's Eve!!
Dena_W, Oct 2024
Great experience. Air conditioned bus for just the two of us. Very knowledgeable tour guide and driver. Enjoyed lunch at a local establishment, visited the distillery, beaches, the caves, shopping downtown and the national park. The tour is custom for what you want to see. Highly recommend.
Megan_D, Sep 2024
Glen was our tour guide for the day. One thing that we loved was that our tour was completely customized to us! Glen was full of knowledge on the island & even surprised us with the most breathtaking view! (It wasn’t originally on our list of things to do, but we are SO grateful he knew where to go!) Glen also took videos/pictures of us throughout our tour. Glen was super friendly & out going, it was like touring the island with a friend! Highly recommend doing a private tour. Thank you Glen for making our 1st trip here so memorable.
Michaele_H, Aug 2024
Anita was a fabulous hostess and knew so much about Curacao! We enjoyed our time immensely and did everything we wanted to do!
We saw the Flamingoes, went to the National Park, swam with the turtles, has a fabulous local lunch (with the BEST, COLD corona) and even did a little shopping at the ChiChi factory!
It's by far the best way to do and see a bunch of different things in one day!
I highly recommend the personal tour!
Patty_N, Jul 2024
Anita was phenomenal! Completely tailored our experience to get the full ‘flavor’ of the island! Not just the touristy stuff but so much more! And Victor, our driver, also made great efforts to ensure a great day. Seemed pricy at first when we booked, but it was worth every penny — and more!!
Natasha_G, Jul 2024
The guide went above be and beyond to make our day stress free and enjoyable.
This was absolutely worth the cost and I would do it again in a heart beat.
Would recommend to anyone looking for a day out in good company, with wonderful knowledge of the island and a genuine effort to cater to specific tastes.
Jason_M, Apr 2024
Glen, aka Johnny Bravo, was excellent. We wanted a private tour on our first day on island to get both a feel for the layout and learn more about the island in a way you just can't get from reading about it. We had a car rented for the week and our plan was to go back and spend more time at the places that stuck out to us on the tour. They built an all day itinerary from our interests and intent. Glen picked us up at our resort in a 25 person bus. It as a little much for just the 2 of us but very comfortable and air conditioned. In the end, we saw the island and had the information and experience to explore a little more on our own over the next few days. I would absolutely recommend this as a way to get to know Curacao. We loved it there.
Taya_Y, Apr 2024
We took a all day private island tour with Brian. He did an excellent job and tailored the tour to our interests. The beaches he showed us were incredible! So much natural beauty! I would highly recommend this company for your tour and make sure to request Brian!!!
