- Ayo Rock Formations - Situated in the center of Aruba, north of the Hooiberg, the Casibari Rock Formation is a popular tourist destination, much like the Ayo Rock Formations. These formations consist of quartz diorite rocks.
- Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - Gold fever, a condition where many dream but few prosper, struck Aruba in the early 19th century. Initially, local men with basic tools sought gold. From 1854, mining rights were granted to various professional companies, most of which struggled to succeed. The Aruba Island Gold Mining Company constructed an elaborate mill on the northern coast in 1874, along with roads and a pier. The English company ceased operations in 1881, and by 1916, the gold rush had ended.
- Alto Vista Chapel - Built in 1952 on the site of Aruba’s first Catholic church, established in 1750 by Spanish missionary Domingo Antonio Silvestre, the bright yellow chapel is accessible via a winding road lined with white crosses marking the stations of the cross. It is a serene place for reflection, nestled in the Aruban countryside.
- California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes - Located at Hudishibana near Arashi Beach on Aruba’s northwest tip, the California Lighthouse is named after the steamship California, which was wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.

Great Tour. Sketchy Van. - Peter was an exceptional tour guide. He gave lots of very interesting information throughout the tour and and was happy to answer questions. He even stopped at a grocery store because some people in our group wanted to see it. Not sure why, but it was fine.
The downside of that was that we were rushed at the gold mining fort and the light house, both of which we only had 10 minutes at, which was not nearly long enough
Also, the van we were in was very old and felt like it May break down at any moment.

Nice overview - This tour was a good overview of the island, and a nice way to get to see some of the undeveloped side of the island. Note that they pick up for cruises but not the airport, for resorts but not Airbnbs (per the driver- restrictions as to where the bus can go). I was just able to catch the 12:30 bus to the airport after the tour, but I would definitely check with the company if end time is important. The driver gave a lot of advice to passenger questions about transportation on the island and took us back on the road by the main beaches (at a group's request) so we could drive past them- a nice overview of those as well.

The Aruba 3.5 Hour Tour - It's a comfortable laid back tour. The vehicle was air-conditioned. We had enough time to see each event at our stops. Interesting point:
After seeing the lighthouse, one can stay at the nearby beach until others are dropped off. The driver returns to pick up those passengers. Peter was our driver. He's patient, a good driver, humorous, and has a great wealth of knowledge. We recommend him!

A great trip to discover what Aruba is about - The trip itself was very well laid out so you get to see a little bit of all of the island.
Our driver Ricardo was also very knowledgeable about each stop we made as well as things of note along the way AND he was very funny and entertaining😁

Visit very race. - The itinerary said we would have 30 minutes at each stop, but it was only 15 minutes. We barely had time to get off the bus and had to get back. I as I am young, did the visit running, but there were several older people that we couldn't see anything.

Aruba is beautiful - Aruba is beautiful. The tour was nice except we had seats on top of the wheels. I am six too. I had no room for my feet and I still have back paina day later those seats should never be sold.

EL tours bus highlight review - The sight seeing trip i give a two stars. All of the stops were completely rushed. A strict 15min time limit. No extra time given. No time to take in the view or to absorb the sights. Just click pic then rushed. I would recommend definitely renting a car so that you can be on your own time and move at your own pace without being rushed. For the price was not worth it. And the nerve of the driver to insinuate about giving him a tip at the end of the tour. I would only give this bus tour a two star
