We were lucky and were the only guests on the tour. Our driver was able to tell us a lot about Aruba. The ride with him was very pleasant and the bus was modern. We saw a lot of beautiful things and can recommend the tour to everyone.

Great experience! Our guide Juan was exceptional. He gave us instructions and explained everything thoroughly at each stop. The views were great ! All stops were excellent. Some steep steps involved.

It was a great tour. We saw all the highlights of Aruba and the guide provided excellent information and gave us enough time in each stop. I would highly recommend both our Guide and the tour company

Nice, leisurely drive around the island, with plenty of time at each stop. Our bus driver/tour guide Hose was very knowledgeable and his commentary throughout the tour was interesting.

Very interesting and just as advertised. Isaac did a great job.
