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.Loganfamilyoffive

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.928nazariac

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%
