Outstanding tour and guide! - Our tour guide was Nigel. He was knowledgeable, answered all our questions and was a delight. We had been to Curaçao before, but he showed us a whole new side of the island’s art and culture. Well done!

We only did the 1 hour... - We only did the 1 hour tour but I wish we had done a longer trip! Our family needed 3 vehicles, we were able to squeeze 3 small adults into one. The guides were so much fun, it was the perfect way to start our day!

Island exploration through the eyes of a tuk tuk - We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring areas of Willemstad on the tuk tuk. Our drivers were great, took us to a lot of cool spots and offered bits of historical information along the way. It was a great way to see an overview of the area. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Curacao.

One of the best excursions of the trip! - We really enjoyed getting to see the area in a TukTuk and guided by Nigel - from the island, with lots of information and history. The artwork around the city is incredible. Nigel was awesome - great stories and we made several stops along the way, including a short walk through beautiful homes/murals. We traveled with another couple - and they were in a separate TukTuk, but we went to the same places. HIGHLY recommend! It's a great way to see the island and learn more about where you are visiting!

Tuk tuk Williamstad Feb 2024 - Pick up was at stated time and convenient to ship. We went through several narrow lanes that are unsuited to tour bus or even passenger cars. Guide was well informed. We can recommend this tour.

Almost perfect - The tour guide 5 star all the way. I gave it 4 stars due to the wait time and difficulty in finding our driver. There was some definite miscommunication-but driver Nigel more than made up for it. He was so personable, knowledgeable and fun!!
Just be real sure about where you are being picked up, and the contact phone number didn't get answered.
