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.
Best walk ever!!! Thank you

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.

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!
Good tour

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!!
Fun and informative walking tour

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.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
