Great Aruba Tour

Rod did a really great job of taking us around the island, and explained the history and culture of Aruba. We really enjoyed his spirit and he made the whole time a lot of fun.

love to PANCHO from Ms. Michelle

a tour like this is highly dependent on the quality of the tour guide and PANCHO was great. I did a great job of keeping up on track and really getting a sense of the island. Smaller group - no more than 10 which I really liked- well worth the extra 15 or 20 dollars over the large group.

A tour not to be missed in Aruba

This is a great tour to see all the highlights of Aruba. It was a fun full half day tour. We did this tour as a shore excursion. We were picked up at our ship. Our driver was very informative and funny. The van was brand new and there was ample leg room. We got to see plenty of flamingos at the national park. We went to the Ostrich farm and were there for first feeding. Next stop was the Aloe factory for a tour of the farm and factory, which was very interesting. The demonstrator and the guide were extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions. We did go home with a lot of Aloe products. We also went to the Natural bridge; church on top of the hill and the lighthouse. We spent time at each stop. Definitely some good Kodak moments at each stop. A tour not to be missed if in Aruba for a short period of time.
