Perfect for Cruise guests

Cesarin P, 08-12-2022

This tour is definitively the best for those looking to check the most out of the island when coming with limited time from a cruise ship.

It visits most of the important landmarks and areas.
Including the nifty tour to the Aloe Vera factory, the little chapel, the natural bridge remains, the lighthouse and others...

We were a bit worried when we arrived as people were getting together at different points by the commercial zone by the port but there was noone there.
Thankfully another guest managed to ask a different tour operator who got into contact. And the bus operator and tour guide was already coming and soon picked up and we were in our way.

The bus was medium size and comfy. Not those oversized bus.
The party was small with around 12-16 people.
Mostly from the Holland American Line ships ( We were from the Norwegian).

The guide was helpful by saying his spiel in both english and spanish. Which was very convenient for my mother and sister who did not speak english fluidly.

The tour started with the basic town view then heading to the Aloe Vera factory. Where they show how the factory operates as well as showcase the multiple products.

The tour continued to visit the other places, the natural bridge, the lighthouse, the little chapel, the rock formation, other towns (some in very disrepair and falling because of the closure of the refinery) as well as the popular baby beach which is absolutely gorgeous place to visit (also has a restaurant hat has decent prices).

After this, the group separated based on time. And we returned back to the store sector to allow us to purchase souvenirs as needed.

In general the tour was very enjoyable. We only had 2 minor issues.

1) The bus has 2 much narrower seats, where 2 if the seats are on a bump of the wheels. Thus you cannot stretch your legs properly.
2) There was a racist tourist in the tour who demanded to the tour operator to stop speaking spanish and that we should be learning english.

Other than that, I really recommend this tour to other cruise goers.

Great excursion!!!

The aloe factory tour was very interesting! We really enjoyed Farley, our tour guide, too! The tour was paced appropriately and we felt like we got a good introduction to the island of Aruba and what it has to offer.

Fun & Informative

ImeeMarie_A, 07-12-2022

Great tour! Our guide, Curtis, was fun and very knowledgeable about all the different spots. He also gave us some extra gems of information between sites! I recommend this tour for all newbies to Aruba!

Memorable experience.

Celestina_M, 06-12-2022

Farley, our tour guide/driver was the best! He was so informative, patient and funny. He even got out to feed the donkeys. He was able to answer all of our questions. He made it fun pointing out all of the important things. Loved eating the local foods.

Ato was the BEST! He gave us a wonderful tour of the entire island that was educational and fun! My only wish is that we had done the tour earlier on our trip so we had enough time after the tour to visit all of his recommendations. Highly recommend requesting Ato for your tour. He is incredibly accommodating and goes above and beyond to make your day!
We cannot wait to come back!!

We had a great time with...

Shirley_C, 12-12-2022

We had a great time with Farley on the full island tour on Aruba. He picked us up and returned us to the Port and drove us all around the island. He explained about the history and was interesting and funny. He made sure we had a beautiful day in Aruba.

Great First Day in Aruba -- full island

Kevin_K, 09-12-2022

It's the perfect tour for your first day, you'll see a lot and most of the island-- then you can say you say most of the landmarks and can plan the rest of your holiday.

This tour is fantastic

Harleyhippie, 13-12-2022

Otto was a fantastic guide. Very informative and funny. All the stops we're fascinating. ended at baby beach (way too crowded) for a swim but nothing to snorkel. Had lunch at Big Momma's. Everyone should take this tour

Loved it!

Adeepa_S, 13-12-2022

Our tour guide was Ato, he picked us up at the hotel, the tour bus was air conditioned and comfortable. He passed by additional attractions on the way to places on the tour and told us about them in case we wanted to visit later. He also expanded on the rich history and culture of the Arubans. Loved this tour!!! Would highly recommend. Baby beach was the last stop, beautiful beach with calm waters

Very good preview of the whole island

Ramasu_S, 11-12-2022

Baby beach and climbing the lighthouse were fantastic!
