This was a great experience if you are visiting Aruba and don’t drive or you have a short time, this tour is perfect.
We were picked up from our hotel and just enjoyed our day since they take care of everything, our tour included a meal. In the places we stopped must of them had a little shop were you could buy drinks or a quick snacks.

We took this tour purchased from De Palm Tours. We got a 10% discount because we came with Air Canada. It was our first visit to Aruba and we wanted to see the island. The objective has been completed even if overall, there is nothing really special to see except perhaps the “Natural Bridge”. Snorkeling at Baby Beach was good. Edwin, driver and guide was very good.

A couple things wrong with this tour. A glass blowing factory, Lava, was the first stop (not in the advertisement) which was basically to watch blown glass making then a push to make a purchase - not in the tour description and a waste of 45 min. Two items stated in the website were not available; no snacks were ever offered (you had to purchase everything on your own), and when we reached the final destination (Baby Beach) no snorkeling equipment was provided so all you could do was go in the water or go to the bar. Asked several other people and they all agreed the ad said snacks and snorkeling were supposed to be included, so I know it wasn't my imagination.

Tour employee at the hotel told us one of the stops of the tour would be San Nicholas, she even circled it on a map. We drove right through and never stopped. Our friend has a grandchild named Nicholas and he wanted to stop and buy something with his name on it, like a shirt. The tour was to be 7 1/2 hours long and turned out to be closer to 9 hours. When the bus stops at other hotels to pick people up, some people weren't ready, so everyone waits for them. Then at Baby Beach we were given one hour and one lady jumped off the bus at the 1 hour period and I guess went looking for her husband. We waited an additional 15 minutes and she came back with a bowl of ice cream, and yes, everyone waits. Lighthouse and Chapel were nice, as was Lava Glass factory. The Natural Bridge had collapsed but they don't tell you that until you get there. Big disappointment! We arrived at the Rock Formation during the hottest part of the day. The left path was covered the whole way with some sort of animal feces. Another disappointing stop. Food wasn't too bad where we stopped for lunch but bathrooms were pretty gross! Francis was our tour operator and he did his best.

The buses cover all the hotel areas and beaches, their cost is 2.60, they are good with air conditioning, I recommend them to go to the center and explore its beaches

There wasn’t much excitement on this tour. For me the highlight was the last stop at the Baby Beach when we spent an hour. The other stops were 15 minutes. The drive was scenic. Good if you’re looking for a low key thing to do, I would like to see a more elaborate description that would have helped me make a better choice.

For our ‘Aruba Town and Countryside Tour’ we booked directly through Holland America and the company they used was Palm Tours. Our driver was named Julius, and the tour took about 3.5 hours. The bus was very new and clean, and the AC was great! Julius was very personable, funny and knowledgeable as he shared the island history. There were multiple stops, including The Bridge, California Lighthouse, Alta Vista Chapel, Casibari Rock Formations and others. At the end of the tour Julius also helped us by recommending a nice beach club at Eagle Beach, which was very nice. We highly recommend this tour, the tour Company and of course our great driver and guide Julius!

We are a party of 8 and we did the Bus Tour with Stanley. I can’t say enough about how pleasant and non stop information he provided about your Island. It was interesting and he was just the most pleasant person to everyone. I highly recommend this tour full day and ask for Stanley to be your driver.

We learned a lot and saw quite a bit of the island. I felt like this was a great way to experience a lot in a short amount of time and the tour guide helped a lot.
Enjoyed Casabari Park, Aloe Factory, California Lighthouse, and Eagle Beach. Be aware that, even though the excursion itselft is not strenuous, the walk from the ship to the bus can be quite a distance, especially when it is hot outside. Also be prepared to pay to use the restroom at Eagle Beach and there are no toilet seats. Views were wonderful though!
