Our tour guide was fantastic! We had members of our family that had mobility issues and he was wonderful to help us in and out of the vehicle and deal with our rollators. Having a guide who was a local makes a huge difference. My husband and I will be back in 3 years for a week in Aruba and we plan to use this company again. Highly, highly recommend!!

Four Hour tour that touched on all the highlights. All the historical sites. Small group of 9 people. Visit to the Aloe factory and store was amazing. High light of the trip was a visit to the Osterich fair. Poncho was our tour guide and he went above and beyond,

Our guide, Pancho, was terrific and he paced it perfectly. Being a native Aruban, he was able to point out things that would have gone unnoticed. He also related his personal experiences growing up on the island to what we were seeing for the first time. The tour also hit the major sites we wanted to see.
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Pancho was absolutely amazing! As an Aruban native, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great time. It was great being a part of a small group because it was intimate and we all got to know eachother really well. The 4 hours for the tour were also great because you hit the sweet spot where you have the rest of the day ahead of you. I highly recommend this tour! Great way to see Aruba :)

Pancho was a wealth of information. He recommended additional spots as we drove past them and was happy to answer any and all questions from the group.
The experiences themselves were all great. Very informative tour at the aloe Factory. Harold was lots of fun at the Ostrich farm.
A great tour and a great way to kick off our stay in Aruba!
