Best way to see Aruba’s top sites!
Jeffrey_F

Pancho was an incredible tour guide. Friendly, informative, and active in making sure we were enjoying the entire experience. Times are tough during Covid but he absolutely made the best of it with his personality, local knowledge, and personal recommendations. The highlight was easily the fun ostrich farm tour and meal (additional), but the aloe factory was informative, the land bridge beautiful, lighthouse + coconut bus delicious (additional), gold mines great to explore, and everything else amazing. The island is small and we’d 100% recommend this if not renting a car. The other things we would complement this with is the UTV tour thru Arikok and to the natural pool and maybe a sunset catamaran dinner. Totally worth it!

Enjoyed the overview tour of Aruba. I would have liked more of an explanation of some of the sites; e.g. some history of the Gold Mill and the era.
