The Queen Emma Bridge is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad.
Otrobanda’s residents make the neighborhood special by encouraging artists, opening their exterior walls and hosting regular street parties with music and art. They threw these parties called Kayakaya every few months.

Pietermaai District’s fondly referred to as the “SoHo” of Curaçao, its stunning architecture is likely to catch one’s eye. Boutique hotels, small shops, cozy little cafés, and top-rated restaurants snuggled together, make the neighborhood highly walkable and perfect for exploring at your leisure.

Curacao not only comes alive during the daytime with vibrant colors flowing from one street to the other and gorgeous paintings along the walls of the cities; though the sun takes its leave, the city remains awake.

amazing culture with Guide well recommended
Thank you for the great review!
Wouldn't know. Never got picked up from my hotel and could never reach the driver. And chat was no help either...
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are deeply sorry and incredibly concerned to hear that you were never picked up from your hotel, could not reach your driver, and received no help from the chat support system.Leaving a guest behind is absolutely unacceptable to us, and we completely understand your frustration and disappointment. We want to investigate this immediately to figure out exactly what went wrong with the communication and scheduling on our end.
Awesome customer service. From the time they picked me up until they dropped me off they were amazing. The tour was great and it was nice learning about the island and its history. I would definitely recommend going!
This was a great tour. Anita was personable, funny and charismatic. She gave us a lot of information about the city and it's history. She brought us for a little shopping afterwards we got a drink and appetizer with a fantastic view of the fireworks at the end. We had a wonderful time. I would recommend this tour and any tour run by Anita and Angelo (the driver)
Curacao was beautiful at night. Would recommend you take this tour by your second day. I Our guide was entertaining and patient.
The City tour was awesome and the tour guides where amazing. It's always nice to learn history. It was great the driver made us the local drink. It was cool we where the only ones on the tour
Anita's tour was energized and very passionate. Her enthusiasm was contagious as she shared her passion for Curasao, the people and it's culture. The tour allowed us to visit various popular sights throughout town from a night time prospective. Every city in the world changes at night; this tour provided us with an opportunity to witness, up close and personal, the many pleasant changes throughout the city.
This was an okay experience, the itinerary wasn’t really structured and didn’t get much from the activity. The tour guides were cool though
The driver left us. Our paperwork said 6:30. Our butler at sandals called them and she was told we were told 5:30. She has the same paperwork as we did and it said 6:30. All the driver had to do was speak with the front desk to contact the butler. I am disabled and use a cane. It takes me a little longer to get from point A to point B. There was no reason for them to leave us. We have used VIATOR many times and never had a problem. We even used their service earlier this week. Very disappointed and expect a full refund
Nice tour of Williamstad. I would highly recommend. Tour guide Sandi is very knowledgeable of the city.
