Just do the tour, it's great!! - Where to start... our guide was Reuben, he was wonderful, funny, informative, overall a great guide to have! We ended up being the only ones this day for the tour, which was great! Went to Aruba Aloe, asked if we wanted to go to AYO or Casibari rock, we had already been to Casibari, so we chose AYO. He walked/hiked with us giving us the background on everything. We went to small place where they make cigars. Extremely nice people. Got to see the process. Stopped by Studio Murano Art and saw them doing glasswork, so amazing very nice people there as well. Got lunch while there, was very good. After that we went to do rum tastings. We had told Reuben we liked rum, don't think he really believed us until we got there and started tasting! We tasted just about all the rum! Highly recommend this tour!

Fun & Different Tour - Made in Aruba - This was a delightful trip that visited a number of local sights that we had not seen before on our previous visits to Aruba. Our driver, Leon, was knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the local area. All of the venues we visited provided an insight into local craftspeople and businesses. Our very favorite was the rum tasing at The Arubian Taste. We brought a few bottles home to enjoy the flavor of Aruba throughout the year. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking for a unique excursion of the island.

Enjoyed our tour today... - Enjoyed our tour today with Leon. Would recommend this outing for couples and groups looking for something different from the sun and sand. This tour was a great opportunity to meet people and see their contribution to this beautiful island. Bring money to shop, and your questions. There is so much to see and enjoy (plus lunch) on this tour. You won’t be disappointed

Great Small Local Business Tour - The tour was great and so was our tour guide Leon. He was friendly and told us a lot about the island and the local people.
We especially enjoyed the rum tasting and the aloe factory. When we arrived at the murano glass demonstration there was a lady (tourist) learning to make glass. It was fascinating to watch the employees show her how to turn and shape the glass.
We also had a very good lunch that was included with our tour.

Mixed emotions - Positives: Leon did a great job as our tour guide. Friendly, funny and cared about needs.
The Aloe tour was wonderful. Lots of explanation about how the products are made as well as a demonstration of how some Aloe is processed. Staff was very knowledgeable about all the products. The glass blowing was interesting but I had seen it done before. But they did a very nice job. Rum tasting was fun! Lots of rum to choose from and all of our group had a great time.
Negatives: Terrafuse glass and ceramic had been taken off the tour, but there was no mention of it at booking. I was extremely disappointed as that was my top reason for going. Leon took us to the gold ruins to fill in, but frankly, there was no comparison with that vs. art. We should have been told up front and offered a discount as this was not a last minute decision to not go to Terrafuse. I also feel that all the stairs at the Aloe facility and the bleacher seating at glass blowing should be mentioned. I was quite able to do it, but someone with any injury or elderly would have a difficult time.
