The cave was such an interesting experience. We learned so much about how they form, what affects them today and even saw some small fruit bats. The flamingos were temperamental so we didn't get to see any up close so that was disappointing but that wasn't on the tour guide. The beach was worth the trip ;the water was an amazing and even close to the shore you could see fish.
Mr. Glen was very helpful and informative! I’ve been living here for a while and he told us things even I didn’t know! Waking up early and figuring out the pick up spot was a little inconvenient for us, but otherwise we had a great time. This trip takes about half the day, but it’s a great way to see a lot of the island in a short amount of time!
Excellent service!!! Our driver was very kind and attentive. We had an issue with the hotel and he stayed with us until the situation was resolved. They gave us a lot of peace of mind and it demonstrates their commitment to the passengers. We are very grateful for your help and we totally recommend it. Thank you!
True representation of authentic Curaçao. We enjoyed the caves. The flamingos do their own thing but we caught a glimpse of them. The beach was fun.
Would recommend this tour for cruise passengers not worth it if youre staying on island for couple of days..the cave was ehh ok..flamingos apparently was a hit or miss..you stop by the side of the road too see "if" theyre in the pond...i kid you not..
The tour was easy to locate from our ship docked at Pier 2-Tula. The rep was friendly and organized. Due to the amount of people on the tour, the rep asked if we would be willing to ride in her husband's taxi as he also works for Aida Travel Services. This proved to be an excellent move as the husband was also personable and accommodating. His knowledge about Curacao's history and his willingness to stop at points of interest - NOT on the itinerary - for a quick photo op was very much appreciated. Very positive experience. I would definitely recommend Aida Travel Services.
Mr. Glen was our driver and he was great. Very informative and really knew the ins and outs of the islands. The stops were perfect timing to get things done! Thoroughly enjoyed this trip!
Glenn was an amazing tour guide with a wealth of knowledge about Curacao. He made sure that we were on time to all of our site seeing locations and ensured we had everything that we needed. This is a great tour to get a taste of all the best highlights of Curacao and strongly recommend it! It was also great for my mother who is 83 and is not able to long walking distances.
It was a really fun experience. My family and I enjoyed seeing the caves, flamingos and turtles. We also had a great time at the beach. We had an amazing tour guide that taught us the history of the country as well.
Mr. Glen was very attentive to our needs and shared a lot of lsland History with a local flair.
