A Great Introduction to Aruba’s History and Present
Suzanne_S
, Feb 2022
We really enjoyed our walking tour with Our guide Ruben. We scheduled it for our first full day in Aruba because we wanted to begin our week’s vacation there with a greater knowledge of the history. Culture, and present realities of this very special place. As we walked with Ruben we learned so much that was interesting about both the past and present, information shared with us with interesting detail and anecdote. It would be hard to pick a favorite from the features of this tour, but I want to mention the early start in the National Archeological Museum that told the story of 5,000 years of human habitation here, and then, further into the tour, the several insights into Aruba’s 20th and 21st century governance and politics. Ruben was both personable and knowledgeable and provided us with a great beginning to our first visit to the island.

Our walking tour was a rich introduction to the culture and history of Aruba. The tour was full of interesting stories, discussions of architecture, visits to historical sites and a taste of local treats. It was a morning well spent in this beautiful place. The highlight of our tour was the guide named Beach. He was a wonderful story teller. So thorough in his knowledge. He was thoughtful, charismatic and funny. So funny. We made a friend on this wonderful trip to Aruba.

I really enjoy the tour. Taxi pickup was ahead of time and loved it. The guide for us named Beach was so knowledgeable, very happy person and made the tour more than what I expected. Nice walking tour and learned so much about Aruba. This is a nice must do visiting here. Ask for Beach. He is great. Great customer service.

A great intro to Orangestad
Lorraine_P

I was the only person on the tour - so it ended up being a private walking tour with the local expert "Beach", who was friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. Spent a lovely two hours viewing the major architectural and historic sites, learning about them and the history of the city, as well as stops to try pastechi and later pan bati. Well paced and very worthwhile!

Great walking tour. “Beach” our guide was very friendly and informative. We had a chance to sample two Arubian type snacks which were good and learned a lot about the country and it’s architecture. They picked us up at our hotel which was a bonus. But you had to find your way back - that said the bus was only at 2 min walk away! Pleased with it overall! Thanks Beach!!

My husband and I learned a lot about Aruban culture and history with our guide Oshane. Took our time walking downtown with several breaks. Tasted Aruban Pastechi, delicious. Unfortunately our shopping was limited due to an island wide blackout. Oshane was friendly and informative-highly recommend the tour.
