Over Rated
When we visited The Lighthouse an extra $6.00 per person was being charged that everyone thought was already included in the price so only two people paid the extra fee to actually go into the Lighthouse. Going to the Beach was a complete waste of time. So disappointing. There was no covering or place for guest to sit on the beach. Most of us got back on the bus abd waited for the hour to go by because we couldn't enjoy the beach. Everybody complained about this and wanted some of our money returned.

Good option for seeing a large part of Aruba
We took the air-conditioned bus tour and it was an excellent choice; we went to several places of interest, and they were very punctual at all times.

Great guide! Great taste of Aruba!
Caesar, our driver, was very friendly and informative! The stops are brief, so if you want more time at each location this may not be the trip for you. But, if you want a taste of Aruba this is great! Speaking of taste… the pasta at lunch was reeeaally good! My friend enjoyed his chicken wrap as well. It was fun to see the glassblowing demonstration, too!

Discovering landscapes and moments.
We are over 60 years old. We loved that they took us to explore the island in Spanish.
Our guide José was wonderful.
He explained to us. And he taught us a lot during the trip.
We enjoyed the beach and visited iconic places such as. The California Lighthouse.
The Chapel; they have been very punctual, and we are very satisfied.

Fun, interesting and entertaining!
The great thing about this tour is the driver. Jose was equally knowledgeable and entertaining with a great sense of humor. The lunch was good and the crowing moment of snorkeling at Baby Beach was a perfect end to the tour. The bus is air-conditioned so you have some sun relief. There is plenty sun for tanning later.
They do provide snorkel equipment if you need.
