Curacao Complete Island Tour

Curaçao tour
January 05, 2024
This tour had a lot of detail on the history of Curaçao. The smaller bus size meant that they could go down much smaller streets than the larger tour buses. Our guide made a point of doing that as there was often a lot of history in small sections. After the town we saw a lot of the countryside. We were totally satisfied with the company and the guide, and we bought a bottle of blue curaçao at the factory.

Excellent Tour Guide (Mike)
November 25, 2023
Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about Curacao. We had a great time and glad we booked this excursion. The only thing that was disappointing was our lunch stop, very limited variety and expensive for what you got.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this Tour of Curacao. The bus we rode in was comfortable and the driver and the tour guide were wonderful. We were given a lot of information on sights that we were seeing. We saw pretty colorful historical buildings. On foot we crossed over a large floating bridge in Willemstad that was very special with brightly painted building at the side of town. We enjoyed areas for shopping in a picturesque town. We saw spectacular coastal views, and beautiful turquoise waters at the beach. Our guides were concerned for our comfort during this tour. We had a great place to catch a nice lunch. This tour included so many great sights. We really enjoyed this adventure.

Absolutely wonderful

We had a great time, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, and very kind. Everything was great. He went above and beyond. The only thing I would change was the place we stopped to eat lunch very little variety and selection with very expensive prices.

This was such a thorough tour of Curacao! Lots of anecdotal information. Not sure the lunch was the best we've ever had but not bad. Spoiled with the already included food with the cruise fare! 😂 It was a quaint outdoor setting. Learned so much about this beautiful island. Many stops and photo opportunities!

March 14, 2023
Our guide was very informative. We learned about the buildings and why they must be painted every other year. Stopped at Curacao factory for tasting and purchases. We saw how different the east side is from the west side of the island.

Really See All Of Curacao
March 04, 2023
This was a long tour, where all of the island became visible. I enjoyed the ride away from the downtown area and into the back country. We saw beautiful beaches and wonderful areas that are typically seen on any tour. This would be a great tour for anybody visiting the island for the first time.

Good Way to See Curaçao!
January 31, 2023
A thorough trip through Willmestad and all around Curaçao. We had a very good and knowledgeable guide and a comfortable van for our travels. I feel we saw all the highlights of the island. My only suggestion is that the place we stopped for lunch had just OK food; however, the owner and his staff were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely take this excursion again.

Had a good tour guide with a great sense of humor. We got a good cross-section of the island even though it rained on and off throughout the day. The tour bus was at maximum capacity which wasn't ideal, but the 16 passenger bus got the job done.

Very nice tour of the island with an excellent tour guide. He took his time, explained various things on the island. Saw many things that we missed last time we were on the island. He explained about the making of cement with sea water caused problems and why the buildings are painted various colors. Took us to parts of the island we have not seen before, very interesting. The tour and the guide were very good.

The tour guide was excellent picking upmptomptly and returning us to the port hate so we didn't have a long walk. He took us everywhere and was fun to listen to and engage in. Make sure to bring cash as the restaurant he took us to did not take credit cards. It was a fun day and great value

Great introduction to Curacao
January 30, 2020
The meeting point was right outside the port in front of the lobby of very nice hotel. The tour started in time and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We drove around the city as he pointed out and explained the different areas of town, including a stop at the Curaçao distillery where the Curaçao liqueur is made. Willemstad is a beautiful city and the view from the old fort is especially beautiful. We then proceeded outside the city and drove to the salt lakes where we saw flamingoes and the very beautiful playa Quenepa, stopping at both places for a short time. On the way to the beach we stopped for lunch (not included) at a small restaurant, we ate outside on the picnic tables. In our opinion the lunch took too long, we would had rather spent more time at the beach.

This tour was easy to reach from the dock or cruise ship port (short walk), comfortable small bus, small group and guide who was very informative. We saw many local areas and made many stops for pictures. The tour completed within required timeframe for us to return on time back to our ship. If opportunity should arise would not hesitate to book again.

Best bus, best guide, and good variety to stops
March 15, 2019
We learned a lot about Curacao's history, geology, and construction challenges (rehabbing old buildings that have "wall cancer"). Also got to taste the liquid form of the island's name in its production facility. The highlight for us was seeing the north shore with its white sand beaches along turquoise water and towering crashes of waves upon black rocks. On the return, we saw and learned about salt flats. Our guide was very professional and informative.

Great Decison To Book This Tour
February 24, 2019
Curacao Complete Island Tour through Shore Excursions I decided to book my own shore excursion through “Shore Excursions” instead of through the Carnival Cruise Line. This turned out to be a great decision since we had a small buss with a local native guide using a small buss that held maybe 30 people. This small bus allowed us to tour the old city with a small local walking tour. Our guide was “Mike” who really likes the low key lifestyle in Curacao. Also this allowed us to have a lunch stop on the Northshore at a bistro. Seeing the Northshore volcanic rock and huge waves pounding the shoreline was great.

BKA and Curacao Tour
February 23, 2019
This tour company used a small tour bus instead of the usual gigantic tour buses the cruise line groups usually use. The tour guide knows the island well . I enjoyed the hotel village we went through as well as other spots he had to show us. The restaurant we stopped at was distinctive local. The Curacao Liquor visit was informative. I stayed on the bus for only a couple of stops because the ground was too uneven. I strongl8y recommend this tour for the amputee with a prosthesis.

This is a wonderful tour. If you want to learn the history of the island and see the entire island, this is the tour for you. Mike is absolutely wonderful. He is so knowledgeable of the history of the island. He lived here as a child and has come back to the island so he knows the history of the buildings that have been re purposed. We did have a few older couples on the tour that did complain about having to get off the bus so much but they clearly state you must be able to get in and out of vehicles on the website. I would recommend this for everyone. Hopefully you get Mike for your guided, you won't be disappointed..

not a lot to see on this island, but was nice to see the end of the island that tourists usually don't see. The place our driver picked for lunch wasn't good at all. Only real compliant. Also, they were not outside our cruise ship and had trouble finding out where we were to meet them. Almost missed the tour, lucky a local person thought they knew where, directed us to a hotel and that was the right place.
