Awesome private tour of Aruba - Our guide, John, was the best! He was attentive, courteous and went out of his way to fulfill our requests and to find us other places to stop that he knew about. I'd never before seen the art murals in St Nicholas...and they were awesome. As we were driving to the lighthouse, we saw a church that was beautiful and asked to stop so that we could get pictures. He accommodated us with no issues. John also talked to us about interesting facts about the island. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.

The best excursion ever with David... - If you want an excursion that makes you feel at home.....look no further....this is it. David provided us information on life in Aruba. He took us to the locations and provided us with detailed information about each. David, our guide was courteous, flexible and an utter gentleman. By the time the trip was concluding he had me looking for properties in Aruba...a potential place to retire. When I return back to Aruba, I will definitely utilize this business for another excursion.

Full, fun exploration. - Dave and Alex were amazing and waterhole jumping was really fun- especially for teen boys but worked for all. Non-stop action.

Amazing experience - An excellent tour - much more personal (and cheaper than the cruise ship tour). Our driver, Archel, was so informative and passionate about his work, he made the experience really enjoyable and interesting. He showed us some amazing sights of the island and explained everything, being able to answer questions with a great depth of knowledge. We never felt rushed and he was very accommodating - returning later to a beach to pick four people up who wanted to stay there longer than the rest of us.

Unforgettable!! - We really enjoyed this guided tour. Lit, our driver, took us to the most important places and told us all about the history of the Island. He is a very kind person and speaks very well in English and Spanish (in addition to other languages). We recommend it 100%
