Great customized tour for families - Great for families because you are in control of where you go and when you stop for bathroom breaks, snacks, etc. the vehicle had plenty of room for 2 parents and 2 kids. Ralph was very knowledgeable of all the history and other things about the island.

Great day in Curaçao - We had wonderful day with Ralph, he is excellent and knowledgeable licensed Tour guide and a Taxi driver. He picked us up on time and at the end even went over the 6 hours. His car was very comfortable and clean. His recommendation for lunch was great and the view was amazing. He asked us what we were interested at and then planned the day for us. Curaçao turned out to be a great stop for us thanks to Ralph

Great way to see this beautiful island 🏝 - We had a great day with Ralph on our private tour. All the stops were informative and Ralph was a great host. The turtles and flamingoes were great to see, and we loved hearing about the history of the island. All our communication was good and we would definitely recommend.

Excellent tour guide Ralph - Ralph was an excellent tour guide!! We went with my mom who has mobility issues. We were able to go to the Jewish synagogue and the mangrove park with her. She was able to get in and out of the car nicely and we folded her scooter in the back. We had to drop her off after the first two activities, Ralph was super understanding and accommodating. Then we went to two other beaches (Kokomo and Blue Bay), saw flamingos, fort Nassau where we took beautiful pictures, and curaçao liqueur distillery. Ralph was kind, knowledgeable, funny, and made the trip fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Awesome private tour experience! - My mom and I had an amazing day in Curaçao with Ralph as our guide! My mom uses a wheelchair that was stored carefully in the trunk and Ralph was very conscientious about making sure mom had good views of sites when she chose to stay in the car and he was wonderful with helping her throughout our tour at the sites where she did get out to get an up close view of things. We got to visit all the places on our “must see” list as well as a few hidden gems of the island that most non-locals don’t get to see. We’ve been to Curaçao many times and thought we had seen it all — we learned we didn’t even scratch the surface with those other visits. Some practical notes: Ralph is an excellent guide, he’s a great communicator - all through the booking and meeting up process, and during and after the tour, his taxi is super clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning in the taxi cooled us down after each stop under the warm Curaçao sun. I strongly recommend booking this private tour. I know we will book again the next time we are in Curaçao.

Best Way to See Curacao! - Ralph was very friendly, professional, and informative. Two adults on this private trip enjoyed the scenery, the history, and the comfortable ride at our leisure. I recommend this to anyone who is making a trip to Curacao. It was a much better experience than the large buses with lots of passengers from the cruise ship.

First Time Curacao Visit - Ralph was an excellent Tour Guide and representative of Curaçao. From before our arrival, Ralph was communicative and responsive. Once there, he fully engaged with us to personalize our tour to our interests. He was friendly, knowledgeable and offered us the opportunity to enjoy the island highlights with insights into the local history and things that otherwise would be overlooked by us. While we know that he knew the island thoroughly he approached our stops with an attitude that enabled our excitement to be shared. We highly recommend Ralph to other Curaçao visitors and hope to call upon him for future visits too.
