Amazing way to see the full island of Aruba. guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable of the island. We had so much fun, this was the highlight excursion of our entire cruise. We stopped to see many fascinating sites, learned a lot about the island history. Our day was relaxing, fun, and customizable. Highly recommend this tour and the tour operator Chogogo was great to work with, the vehicle was air conditioned and comfortable, and operator provided excellent communication on where to meet our guide, who were absolutely the best!!! We enjoy the private tours, more time spent at sites and less time coordinating with large crowds and personalities. You won’t go wrong booking this tour.

Great Tour! Great Experience!
We had a half day private full island tour with Chogogo Tours. It was a great experience! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who has not been to Aruba before - it is nice to be able to go with a small group - you get to see so much more ---- more time vs. waiting for people to get on and off a tour bus! Our tour guide, Bernie was great!
