bus was colorful ( a converted school bus) with open window for fresh air and breeze, better than air conditioned coach.
The price is very reasonable for a 7 hours tour from the island center to the east and west coast.Reviewed by Winnie Cheung on February 13, 2020

We had really great day! I can truely reccomend this trip to everyone who wants to see as much as possible in one dayJanuary 13, 2020
Fun Fun Fun
Colorful fun interesting view of the whole island. Well worth the trip and the bus are old school buses but make it even more fum and you can't lose them.Reviewed by George & Barbar J on September 24, 2019
See the real Curacao
On the day itself our tour guide (Stella, I believe or something similar) basically drove the bus and gave the talk throughout the tour, both on the bus and at the stops along the way. She was great.Reviewed by Wjaned on September 19, 2019
The tour itself was Really enjoyable and a full day from 10am til 5pm. We didn't hire a car so this really was the best way to see the whole island. If your planning a trip. To the island I can thoroughly recommend the tour as a way to get out and see the real curacao before tourism takes over.
Well organized
During the tour you see many places and get a lot of information in a short period of time.Reviewed by australiantraveller85 on September 04, 2019
The trip is well organised, we were always on time. Our guide, a local lady was nice, funny and very informative.
You don‘t stay long at different sites, but it was not a rush.
We would recommend to do the tour at the beginning of your holiday to get an overview of the island.
It was a great day!
Go for it!
Spent a most enjoyable day on the island tour with Lisa, a friendly and well informed native of the island. Our first time to Curacao and I would recommend touring the place with her to anyone. Some great sights and Lisa was patient with the usual dumb tourist comments and questions.Reviewed by tacitusone on July 02, 2019
Response from supplier
Thank you for your kind words. We really appreciate it!
Liqueur factory, flamingos, national park and beach!
The pick-up and drop-off from/at your hotel is included and you get to see almost all of the beautiful island that is Curacao. It starts with a drive through Otrabanda and Punda, goes on to the original Curaco liquer factory with a tasting of several varinats of it. Afterwards you continue to the amazing views over the Spanish Water Bay and follow that with lunch at the Pirate's Nest. Then you get a long drive to the north west of the island, past the Christoffel Park and get to see a partially submerged cave and some wonderful cliffs. Afterwards you will be shown the most westward point and the amazing views from threre. Last stop is the Grote Knip, the biggest and nicest public beach.Reviewed by Jurik S on January 04, 2019

Thank you so much for taking your time to review our Island Tour. We as a team really appreciate it.
A wonderful way to experience Curacao
What a wonderful way to see this delightful island! It is a long day (9:30 am – 5 pm) but every moment was worthwhile.Reviewed by James H on December 26, 2018
We were just three couples (NYC, Tennessee, and Quebec) with our driver, so there was no place to hide, like in the crowd on a bus.
Our driver/guide, Miguel, put everyone at ease and quickly became one of us, sharing stories of his island home. His enthusiasm is a rare gem in a profession where too many guides seem to have their eyes half-closed and their voices weary with boredom. Miguel is a National Treasure who reflects his company’s superb standards.
Every stop brought interesting stories about the island. The tour began in the lively Punda district with its art galleries, floating food markets, and the New World’s oldest synagogue. Outside of town, we saw awesome million-dollar mansions and the cacti-covered countryside. We visited a pretty beach with time for swimming and made a pretty scary visit to an ocean cave, with Miguel intrepidly leading us in (and out!). We also enjoyed visiting the Curacao Liqueur Factory (tasty), a local crafts center, and had lunch at the Pirate’s Nest, a fun place overlooking the yacht harbor, and with good food.
Great way to see a lot of things in one day
We enjoyed the tour a lot. It is a great way to see many places on the island during one day, e.g. the liquor factory, national park Shete Boka, Grote Knip, the salt lakes with flamingos...Our tour guide Gisella was knowledgable and funny. Thanks for the nice experience!Reviewed by tomb-lily on October 25, 2018
