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.
