Save the Headaches and Rent a Car.

1.00The driver/guide Kip Roy was extremely rude and unprofessional showing total disregard for the legitimate concerns of his passengers. I do not recommend this agency and regret wasting $65 on this tour. Aruba is a beautiful and interesting island and can easily be seen on your own with a rental car. In fact, it would be cheaper than taking the tour if you have two or more people. As a solo traveler, cost was a concern, but in retrospect I wish I had spent the extra $40-50 and rented a car. It would have made this a much more pleasant experience. Save the headaches and rent a car or try a better agency.
The Guide was the Best Part!

4.00Julissa was an excellent tour guide and a good bus driver. Too bad the aloe factory tour wasn’t available. Also wished we had a few more minutes at the Casibari Boulders (that felt rushed). Loved the Lighthouse. For me, the beach was a bit too long and it was a rough and windy day. Overall, enjoyed getting out and seeing some things on the island.
Good way to get around

4.00Came to Aruba on a cruise liner. The bus depot is a 10 min walk away. They sell a day ticket for $15. The bus goes all over the sights of the island very comfortably for a reasonable price. Well worth it.

5.00“Best of Aruba and glass blowing”. Jose was awesome!! Best tour we’ve been on in a long time! Very personal, knowledgeable, friendly and happy! Saw a lot of neat sights and a few extra picture opts! Very nice, clean comfortable bus and Jose is an awesome driver. I would do this tour again with Jose!! Aruba is “one Happy Island”! We enjoyed glass blowing, the rock formations, the gold mine, “baby arch”, the light tower, and saw beautiful beaches and buildings!! Thank you Jose! You are very informative!
Bad-tempered driver.

3.00The tour very well, the bad thing was the driver that 50% of us spoke Spanish and did not want to give the tour in another language and at insistence said out there how many words, was very bad tempered and when we got off the bus we did not give tip because his attention did not seem good and he did not tell us or thank you and closed the door fast, it was very bad his attention was on Saturday, January 17.
Professional and helpful tour company

5.00Very informative and fun tour with Benjamin and Caesar. We took the Monday 1000 to 330pm tour by bus from the Surf Club . Visited Butterfly farm, Aruba Aloe including tours , Natural and baby bridge, Ayo rock formation. Snack at the natural bridge included. Cheese pastry was super tasty. We appreciated the well rounded background information on Aruba as well as all the stop off points history. We left knowing a lot more on life generally in Aruba. Benjamin and Caesar were super helpful and good humoured. Highly recommend the tour!

5.00Jay was an excellent tour guide and bus driver. Our excursion was actually Colors of Aruba, but it showed the best of Aruba - Ostrich Farm, Natural Bridge, Caribari Rocks, and California Lighthouse. Enjoyed the tour.
Way more than I expected

5.00All of our friends who've been to Aruba told us you should do this, see this... we decided to do the 7 hour bus tour. Our driver/tour guide, Jay, was not only great at telling us history and different parts of the islands, but he was funny and entertaining. We enjoyed the different sites that we saw as well as seeing a demonstration of glass blowing. The entire tour was very enjoyable, and let us explore the beautiful island of Aruba!

4.00It was good. Very friendly the guide driver in Spanish. Interesting to know a little about the story. The driver's name was Urri. It lasted approximately 7 hours. We ended up at baby beach
Update Itinerary and What Is Included !!!!!!

3.00This was a nice tour - overall!!!!! My complaint is that the itinerary description is not accurate. The description states that the tour starts with a 15 minute walking tour of downtown - NO SUCH STOP and no information about downtown!!!! People select tours based on the stated itinerary!!!!! The included lunch was at the Natural Bridge and the plate looked beautiful and was generous but the BBQ was too tough- not edible tough - this was not only my feeling but the general consensus. If they simply steam the BBQ on low for a few hours, it would fall off the bone. The tour description stated snorkel gear would be provided but the tour operator told us only one piece would be provided and we would have to rent a complete set but I didn't see any snorkel gear offered. The tour went to a glass blowing factory, which was OK but not stated in the itinerary. The tour driver, Uri, was great!
