A Stroll Through an Outdoor Art Museum

5.00Nico our tour guide was fantastic. It was just my wife and I, so it was a private tour. It was like taking a stroll through an outdoor Art Museum. Nico was extremely informative and really enjoys talking about the murals. There are 82 murals in San Nicholas. We saw about 20. Nico said it would take 8 hours to see them all. There were several other people walking around taking pictures of the murals. Having a tour guide is a necessity. To hear the stories of the artists and the explanations of the murals made the tour. We will definitely do another tour the next time we are in Aruba. Thank You Nico for a fabulous afternoon.
A culturally immersive and visually stunning tour!

5.00We absolutely loved our experience on The Whole Story Tour of San Nicolas. Walking through the vibrant murals while learning the rich history and background of the city made the tour both meaningful and memorable. We were especially impressed by how San Nicolas has reinvented itself through art; it's inspiring to see such creativity and community spirit driving the town’s redevelopment. The vibe of the town is warm, colorful, and full of character, and our guide, Nico, made the experience even better. He was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing each mural and story to life. You can tell he genuinely cares about the community and enjoys sharing its culture with visitors. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Aruba—it’s a perfect blend of art, history, and heart. It is completely worth the ticket price. You won't be disappointed.

5.00The tour was incredibly informative and gave deep meaning to each mural. Every piece we viewed was vibrant and full of life, offering a level of depth we would have missed just by walking past them on our own. Our tour guide, Nico, was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the art and history of San Nicolas. A huge thank-you to Tito for bringing all these talented artists together and giving San Nicolas new life. I can’t wait to do this again next year! If you’re planning a trip to Aruba, this walking tour is an absolute must-do! It’s only about 2.5 hours, and you will not be disappointed.

5.00Today we did this tour and Nico was our tour guide. Nico made sure our group was in the shade and when he could as he explained the history, culture and about the artists that created these masterpieces. Nico’s knowledge and history of Aruba couldnt have been better. This tour is a must when visiting and if you get Nico as your guide you get the best.
Aruba Mural Tour - San Nicolas

5.00Wonderful Experience, ended up just being my wife and I which allowed time for questions and further in depth discussions. Nico was wonderful, very knowledgeable not only of the art/murals but of the local environment and also provided us information on their Art Week (that we unfortunately just missed). Worth the short drive to San Nicolas to learn more about the area and the amazing artists.
Must Experience!

5.00Wow what an awesome experience! Nico our guide was amazing. His knowledge of the art, history of the island and love/history of San Nicolas made this experience so worth while! We went just as they were setting up for the art show and we were able to meet some of the artists. We would highly recommend this tour!
A must see when coming to Aruba!

5.00This was a great tour filled with vibrant colors , brilliant art pieces and rich history. Our tour guide was a volunteer and was very friendly and knowledgeable (the city is preparing for carnival!) Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to see some Aruban culture. Would advise visitors to wear sun protection and stay hydrated. ; )
