I really enjoyed our tour with Irie! Lady and Johnny were our tour guide and driver team, and their tour was very informative and also fun! My favorite stops were the Spanish waters and the shopping at the pier. I highly recommend this tour and excursion! The locals also sold items at very reasonable prices!!

Due to low number of people required to operate the bus, our city tour was cancelled. However, I was immediately contacted by the Shannon and was offered other options for tours (at no additional cost). I chose the Sunset Sail which was awesome (drinks and food were great). She even added transportation to the booking. Excellent customer service and communication! Thank you so much for taking care of us. I highly recommend Irie Tours!

Here’s a review you could use for a 4-hour Curaçao City Highlights Tour: We thoroughly enjoyed the Curaçao City Highlights Tour! It was the perfect way to experience the island’s history, culture, and breathtaking scenery in just a few hours. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and shared fascinating stories about the island while taking us to many of the must-see landmarks. The colorful architecture, stunning viewpoints, and local neighborhoods made for great photo opportunities. We had enough time at each stop to explore without feeling rushed. I felt bad for the tour guide as he had to keep going from one language to the next. If you’re visiting Curaçao for the first time or only have a short stay, I highly recommend this tour. It provides an excellent overview of the island and is well worth the time. A wonderful experience!

Leidy was a great tour guide and Peter was a great driver around Curacao. She is very knowledgeable and fun regarding the history of Curacao.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It’s great to hear that Leidy provided a knowledgeable and fun tour experience, and that Peter made your time traveling around Curaçao smooth and enjoyable. 💚❤️💛
Skip this tour. It was the most boring bus ride we’ve ever had. The narrator was boring and was rude to us and others on board for talking. Curaçao needs to clean up its touristy areas and the stairs were used for urination regularly. It was very boring and not worth it. I would chose another tour company.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear this tour did not meet your expectations, as we always aim to provide an enjoyable and engaging experience for all our guests. We appreciate your comments about the narration and overall experience. We hope you were still able to enjoy parts of Curaçao and wish you all the best in your future travels 💚❤️💛

Bus was right on time at cruise port. Bob our tour guide was very informative. Open air bus. Hopefully good weather when you go. We had a beautiful day. Last stop at beach for an hour was relaxing. Blue Curaçao factory was fun. Good drinks there. Wish tour would have included aloe factory.
We’re glad to hear you had a great experience! 😊 Wonderful that Bob was informative, the open-air bus ran smoothly, and you enjoyed the beach stop, Blue Curaçao factory, and drinks. ❤️💛💚
