5.00The mural tour was the only thing I wanted to do in Aruba other than relax on the beach and I wasn't disappointed. Nico was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and he did a great job explaining the symbolism incorporated into the gorgeous murals. There is so much underlying context in the murals that you would never get from a causal glance. We learned the history of San Nicolas and the cultural revitalization being done through the mural festival, mural tours, and art galleries and classes. Fantastic tour!
Highly recommended

5.00Tito Bolivar (https://artisaruba.com/about-us/) and his team were fantastic. They exceeded our expectations. We appreciated their knowledge of San Nicolas' history and its art. We enjoyed all art forms displayed including the fashion. I bought a sun dress by Alejandra Vallejo Designs (https://artfashionaruba.com/) and have gotten many favorable comments. We are planning on going back to Aruba soon!

5.00This tour was incredible. So informative about the history of St. Nicholas and Aruba. The art was amazing and the story behind it fascinating. I live the beach and the outdoors which is great in Aruba but this really was a high point of my trip. The guide was great but I forget his name. Pretty sure he was from Italy. It’s only a few hours everyone should book this while visiting!

5.00Nico was our tour guide and he was terrific! Filled with so many interesting facts and information about the city of San Nicolas. The artwork is beautiful and insightful. It’s nice to see a different part/ side of the island of Aruba.
When art is part of society, teaching flows more than words. That's how you educate yourself. No political pollution

5.00Excellent experience!! Our guide, Mr. Leon, a teacher!! It really made us live the place, it gave us information about the history of Aruba and especially San Nicolas. The work they do together with the artists to change the face of that area and that we felt is approached with a lot of originality, social responsibility and each mural, its theme, the argument that each one used to leave a message is very valuable and original. We are very happy with the visit and with the teacher, more than guide we had that day. Thank you so much 😘
