Gio was a terrific guide! - Our family of four took the morning off-road tour of the northern end of the island, including the rock formation park, Natural Bridge, Alto Vista Chapel, California Lighthouse, and Turtle Bay. Gio was our guide and jeep driver. He was very knowledgeable, informative, fun, and humorous to boot. He was an outstanding guide to our exploration of the island, and we highly recommend that you request him!

See Aruba in 4 hours! - Had an enjoyable island tour with driver Kimroy. Got to see all the island landmarks including California Lighthouse, natural bridge, Aloe Factory and rock formations. Plenty of stops with bathrooms and beverage options. Water and snack at natural bridge included. Bring singles if you want to use the bathrooms at the stops as there is a fee to pee for $1 at most stops. Very enjoyable and educational. Easy hotel and resort pickup and drop off.

EXCELLENT TOUR!! - I went on a 4 hour tour of Aruba with De Palm Tours. It was an air conditioned bus that made stops at the California Lighthouse, Natural Bridge, Butterfly farm and rock formation. Luis, our guide was knowledgeable and very funny!! I met so many people and our group was very jovial and lively! At one stop a traveler got on our bus by mistake and when he got off jokingly said he wish he could stay. Luis made this tour very enjoyable.😁

Earleson Great Tour Guide - We were escorted and entertained by the wonderful, knowledgeable and hysterical Earleson Bus #12 The best trip ever and he really meant we were “his family”.There were some very nasty people on our tour but to keep us all feeling comfortable Earleson took great care of the situation. My husband and I were in the front seat on bus and we had such great conversation with Earleson that if I return to Aruba and any type of tour I would ask if he could. Be our guide. Thank you Bonny and Jerry Molella

Nice, but fell short of advertisement. - While searching for a bus tour in Aruba, we were delighted when we found this one. My friend wanted more than anything to visit the chapel. It was listed as one of the stops on this tour. Imagine how disappointed we were when the driver described the itinerary, and this was "no longer a stop." We even asked him at our first stop, and he told us the chapel had been removed a couple years ago, and the site was probably never updated. Very disappointing. Now we have to find another way to get there. That said, driver was very entertaining, and most stops were interesting. Just not what we thought we were getting.

Beautiful Scenery - Our driver was very informative and handled the bus very well. The bus was cool and comfortable. We covered a lot of ground and it was amazing to see the changes in the sea and the terrain as we navigated our way. We stopped at the glass factory and a church. The stop at the natural bridge was the highlight of the tour for us. Stunning coastal views throughout the trip. The place we stopped for lunch was absolutely awful. Horrible food and terrible service. If you go, get the pizza. It's the only thing that looked even half decent. The last stop, at Baby Beach was disappointing. We were told it was too rough to snorkel, although there were many people that seemed to be snorkeling. We were there for only an hour so it wasn't worth renting chairs. There was no where to sit except for the bar, so we went there. We learned a lot about the island but I think the half day tour would have been a better choice.
