We were so amazed to learn about the vibrant art community in Aruba and San Nicholas! Our tour guide Nico made our experience fun and engaging from start to end with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area, history and the artwork! We strongly recommend this tour! The murals throughout the streets of San Nicholas are many, and breathtakingly beautiful works of art!
This walking art tour is something worth seeing. It has history, culture and beautiful art from the locals and international artist. There were so many beautiful pieces, intricate details were embedded in lot of them that tell a story worth hearing. Our tour guide Nico was the best. You can tell he really loves his job. The gallery is very beautiful. San Nicholas is being revamped piece by piece with its art pieces making it beautiful again and coming back to life. This was a definite change from when I first visited the area over 15 years ago. It was a "ghost" town, now it is an awakening and you can feel the vibe of the people. You must go see, because it really started here at this location the essence of Aruba not to be forgotten. Loved it and brought a piece of art back with me.
This mural tour exceeded expectations! Our guide, Niko kindly messaged us the day before to confirm. He offered so much information about San Nicolas, the history and the symbolism in the murals that say something about San Nicolas. I highly recommend the version of the tour that includes time at Baby beach! After seeing the art, Niko recommended lunch at a wonderful Caribbean restaurant They let us use beach chairs and snorkeling gear, dropped us off at Baby beach, a beautiful bay with an area for snorkeling. Then he picked us up and brought us back to our hotel. This package saved us a significant amount of money when we calculated cab fares. We felt well taken care of and the communication was great. This was one of the highest quality tour experiences we had in Aruba.
Excellent tour. Nico was a great guide. Very informative and engaging. The murals told a story we would have never known. I couldn't remember the lady who owned one of the galleries, but she was originally from Vermont. Very engaging and provided additional insight. The workers at the other gallery were nice as well. Was able to eat Rasta Pasta at O'Neils lol and road by Baby Beach. Highly recommend this tour.
Amazing city with great murals. Niko is so passionate about the art and the mission - he’s a fun and great guide.
Easy walk, knowledgeable guide, inspirational, nice to know history behind some of the art. Would definitely recommend
Nico was an extremely informed and kind guide who helped us learn a lot about the history of the mural scene in San Nicholas and Aruban history and arts in general. We really enjoyed this tour and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the culture.
Hands down one of my favorite tours! Our tour guide, Nico, was knowledgeable and made sure we were engaged in the tour. He knew the history of San Nicholas like the back of his hand. We learned so much and he fully immersed in the culture of Aruba and specifically San Nicholas. BOOK THIS TOUR!! Phenomenal
Had a great day. Nico is a very attentive and competent guide and has brought the San Nicolas story well. I recommend this tour, then go to lunch at O’Neil and then on to Baby Beach. They even arrange a chair and snorkels. Super!
This is a tour of storytelling. Absolutely beautiful and captivating. Very unexpected for a tour of art.
