Our tour was made all the more special with Maree( 5 letters😊) she was knowledgeable, friendly and had good humour. She gave us local background about the language, customs and history of Aruba. The tour was so much fun that the time passed quickly and we saw everything that was on the list. She also did a great job of suggesting other things to see and do on the island. Great day! Great tour! Great tour director!

For $50 I could not have asked for a better way to experience what Aruba has to offer. Ato was an incredible guide! Between him and the staff at the Aloe Museum, I learned so much about Aruba and its history. After the Aloe stop, seeing the sights around the island was incredible! I opted not to rent a car during my short stay in Aruba, so this tour gave me the opportunity to see the beautiful areas of the island without paying for a car and gas. I highly recommend this tour, even if you have a vehicle and could drive yourself to the places. You’ll make friends, and laugh and learn as Ato shows you One Hapoy Island!

Ato was wonderful!! He showed is all around the island and made the tour fun while we learned all about the island’s history. I was very impressed that he did the entire tour in two different languages and made sure no one was ever left out of anything! Definitely recommend to first time Aruba visitors!

This tour was prefect for us!! We had plans in the afternoon and this filled up the morning!! We learned a lot on this tour as our guide Stephanie was very informative!!! This was not a large tour bus and we had about 12 people on the tour, so it was nice and personal!! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that is short of time but wants to see the island as well as learn as much as you possible can!!!

Enjoyable way to see some of the major island attractions. Our guide was knowledgeable and was willing to share experiences that gave a real sense of the island. He was a bit on the curt and abrasive side, which took things from being 5 star to 4 star. A refresher on how to treat customers might be in order.

Tour guide was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and told us very interesting tidbits about the island and landmarks.
My only complaint is they waited till after 9 am to tell us that our 10 am tour was canceled and did we want to go on the 9 am or 2. We ended up on the 9am one, but missed the tour of the Aloe factory which we were excited about touring. Viator did refund a portion of our ticket.

Merry was the best guide. She was knowledgeable and answered questions. She also went above and beyond and called to make us dinner reservations for after the tour and dropped us off. We had a small group (only 5 of us) and a great day!

I wish I could give a better review but this tour was ruined by a moody and plain rude tour operator. I don't know what the deal was but he was very aggressive and made us feel like we couldn't ask questions without being insulted and told to "Google it, watch National Geographic or the Discovery channel" in a condescending and patronizing manner.
He did give us a lot of great information about the islands native plants and the balance that is needed in order to protect native species that are at risk of extinction. He also taught us a few native words along the way.
That being said.. I can honestly say this tour experience was "sushi" and I wish I had the time back to savor with my family on a different experience.
