Totally Immersive, Curacao Jewish Heritage Tour - Ralph was a wonderful, knowledgeable, warm and friendly tour guide. He had plenty of patience and answered our many questions during the 4+ hours we spent with him. We never felt rushed by him at any time. His car was clean and very comfortable and his trunk was large enough to hold my wheelchair. Ralph was even kind enough to push me in my chair rather than leaving everything up to my spouse. My wife and I were both very impressed by that. Ralph started the tour by showing us the first Jewish Cemetery on the island and over 4 hours later, after seeing all the important growth regarding the Jewish experience, our final stop was the Synagogue, which is still an active Synagogue even now. When we finished the tour, he drove us back to our cruise ship and we felt like we were saying goodbye to a good friend. We highly recommend this tour and more than highly recommend asking for Ralph.

Two great days in Curaçao ! - Our Ship was spending two days in Curaçao. I hired Ralph at Curaçao VIP tour guide and Taxi 160 for both days . We were three adults with different wants and needs and Ralph made sure everyone was happy and did what they wanted to do . He is a kind and friendly man with a clean and very comfortable car to take you around in . He happily accommodates everyone’s wishes. We did the Jewish Heritage Tour , which is fascinating and beautiful. Ralph is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot . The first day we did a tour of Curaçao which included The Hato Caves which is magnificent. I highly recommend Ralph for a wonderful experience in Curaçao.

Excellent Jewish Heritage Tour - Thank you Ralph for a fabulous day in Curaçao on your Jewish Heritage Tour. We enjoyed seeing all the highlights, the synagogues, cemeteries, museums, and the Curaçao liquor factory. You were most informative and personable.Your taxi was clean, comfortable and we really appreciated the air conditioning as it was very hot that day. I highly recommend your tour to anyone looking to learn the influence of Jewish life on the island.

Great Jewish Heritage tour experience! - Ralph was fantastic! The tour was all we expected and more. He was chock full of info and never rushed us (and my husband can be a little slow in museums). It was the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend him if you’re interested in a Jewish Heritage tour.

Private Jewish Experience - Highly recommend this private tour with Ralph. He is friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the Jewish families that settled in Curaçao. Wherever we stopped Ralph had a friend. Being a private tour we were not constrained by the specific time allowances that you have on a group tour. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted to at each location. The Maduro Museum and the Jewish Museum at Mikve Israel-Emanuel temple as well as the temple intself, were 2 of the highlights of the tour. Thank you Ralph for a very enlightening experience.

Ralph was prompt, incredibly informative and went out of his way to make sure all our needs were taken care of and even added extra visits to the Chabad house to meet with the Rabbi there. Essential your for anyone interested in Jewish history in the ABCs.
