Aruba Art, Beach & Culture Tour

Our experience with Jason Bird was absolutely amazing! He picked my family up from our resort right on time and immediately made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Jason didn’t just drive us around Aruba — he gave us a true experience. He shared the history of Aruba, stories about his family and culture, and took us to O’Neil’s Caribbean Kitchen on the other side of the island. Along the way, he pointed out the beautiful artwork, local spots, and even the amazing smoothie place across from the restaurant. What made the experience so special was getting to see Aruba through Jason’s eyes. He shared pieces of his childhood and introduced us to places and stories that made Aruba feel like a true home away from home. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. If you’re visiting Aruba and looking for a VIP driver and tour guide who genuinely cares about giving you an authentic experience, I highly, highly recommend Jason Bird! You won’t be disappointed!

This tour made our vacation! We learnt about the island’s history and present day, saw amazing sites, and loved our tour guide, Gabriel. A MUST do when in Aruba! Gabriel was so kind and took photos for us at each location. His love for his country brought it even more to life and made the experience more vibrant as we travelled to various points of interest and artistic expression. I would suggest to book a private tour. Gabriel had 6 stops for us and as we were just a party of 2, he made the experience incredibly personal and allowed us to take our time at each location. I would also recommend asking for Gabriel as your guide. He was incredibly funny, polite, and knowledgable. Because it was just my mum and I, it almost felt like we were just hanging out with Gabriel because of how relaxed and funny he is. It was like traveling with a close friend who knows everything about the island. I would say that the Kini Kini tour is a must-do. My mum and I visited Aruba after hearing so many good friends tell us stories about how much they love the island but none had taken any tours despite visiting multiple times. To my surprise, my friends were asking me about the entire tour and what we did/where we went when I returned home. Honestly, this will be the highlight of your vacation. The tour is intimate and open to questions about the island and even after a half-day of touring, I’ll still book with Kini Kini when I visit next to explore more parts of the island. Overall, the experience was a 10 out of 10 and the highlight of our 7-day girls’ trip. We got to experience Aruba for Aruba with someone who is passionate about their country. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Thank you Gabriel for the incredible experience and the banter! You truly embodied the life of Aruba through the whole tour and we couldn’t be more grateful. See you all at Kini Kini next year for our second trip to the island! -Tabitha and Miss Jane

Amazing tour and our guide Pancho was super friendly! We went to Philip’s Animal Farm, a Morano Glass Blowing Studio to watch a demonstration from expert Venice, Italy artists on how to do glass blowing art where they made a sea turtle out of glass, we explored the scenic view of caves near the famous Red Hook on the opposite side of the island in San Nicholas, took pictures of the beautiful murals in San Nicholas, went to the Aloe Factory, and also took in the beautiful scenery of Mangel Halto beach. This is an excellent tour for anyone such as singles, families, and retirees!

Naheem is the best. Love Ms.Ann
