Bus in Aruba - 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

Best Driver,Guide - 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!

Excellent Driver and Customer Service - 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.

Great overview of Aruba - 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!

One Great Bus Tour - This was an awesome trip and Benjamin was the best driver and narrator, hands down. The sites were beautiful and the history of Aruba that Benjamin shared was very informative. This is a must do trip.

Low on the excitement scale. - 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.

Just Okay - Our tour guide, Jay was great, informative and funny. Liked all the stops but would have liked more time at the Natural Bridge.
People at the last pick-up stop were late and that was irritating. Seats on the bus didn’t have enough leg room for individuals with long legs like my husband.
The stop at the Natural Bridge should be 45 min and the lunch stop was too long. Recommend box lunches and longer stops. The food at the lunch stop was horrible.
