The three steps are a bit... - The three steps are a bit precarious (windy day). Once past that it is an amazing experience. So glad I hired safe, awesome, and professional guides!!!

New to Aruba? Do this tour. Jeff Classic Tours. - So, in summary, this tour was great and the tour leader Jeffrey was amazing. We got the insiders scoop from a native and key member of Aruba society. We navigated the island to see the famous lighthouse, chapel, donkey sanctuary, aloe farm and the swanky west side (palm beach). But the best part was the color commentary about life, culture and people of Aruba. Kudos Jeff!

Best half-day tour of Aruba per Jim & Gina - Jeff greeted us early and said it is best when people are on time so that it doesn’t cut into the tour. The other group was also early so we started the tour about 15 minutes early. Jeff was very courteous, explained everything that we saw during the tour, and was extremely knowledgeable. He had water and pastries for everyone on the tour. He took pictures for each group and went way beyond what we expected. This was without a doubt the best half-day tour we have taken in Aruba. I should mention this was our fourth trip to Aruba and we always do a tour. We always do a different tour and this much more informational and didn’t just show us the normal tourist areas.

Great experience - Jeff aims to give the best tour of Aruba - There were two of us that went on this tour. We fully expected others to have booked but lucky for us, we were the only ones. I’m sure as a tour operator this isn’t ideal but Jeff does not cancel due to low numbers. Jeff is the owner, operator and guide and he aims to please. I have never been on a tour where I felt so much like family. It is very clear that Jeff takes his job of imparting knowledge very seriously and has done lots of research to make sure his information is accurate rather than making things up. That is much appreciated. He is not afraid to say he doesn’t know when we asked a question for which he had no answer but I bet he will research it and know the answer for the next guest. We never felt rushed or on the clock and Jeff altered our day to avoid the large crowds in popular locations like the Aloe factory since there were two cruise ships at port. We enjoyed all of our stops and thought it was wonderful seeing how respected Jeff is by so many locals we came across on the island. Jeff is fun, knowledgeable, outgoing and we now consider him family. If you want to learn about Aruba and see it from the perspective of an Arubian who loves his island, do not hesitate to book this trip.

Amazing tour with Jeff - We enjoyed our time with Jeff tremendously! He is a very knowledgeable guide, and a very warm and funny guy. If you're ever in Aruba, we highly recommend taking a (half) day tour with him. You'll see the most wonderful sights on the Island, learn a lot about the history and everyday life and have lots of laughs in the meantime!

Best tour in the ABC islands - "Where do I begin? Jeff was absolutely top-notch! 10,000 out of 10! He had tons of energy from start to finish and clearly loves his island, showcasing all it has to offer. His humor and enthusiasm made our experience unforgettable, and we'd definitely return because we left wanting more. The special treat he took us on was a lovely touch. We even picked up some local phrases, like 'Muy dushi' - thanks to Jeff's native tongue! Book him without hesitation - you won't regret it!"

Small, Classic & a ton of fun - Jeff is very knowledgeable and friendly and very passionate about what he has to share with you. It has different scenery and stops than any other tour on the island.
Wholeheartedly recommend if you're looking for something different and less touristy.

Just book it! A fun day... - Jeff was a vivacious and informative guide for our half day tour of Aruba. He picked us up on time from our resort, in an air conditioned van. He was a gracious and flexible host, accomodating the groups request for a change in itinerary. He changed his normal route to miss traffic, and to visit the outdoor sites earlier in the day due to expected high temps, out of concern for our comfort. We clearly felt his love of his county and his respect of its' history and heroes.

Get to know Aruba - We throughly enjoyed our half-day tour with Jeff. We were lucky enough to have a private tour, i.e., he didn't cancel because there were just two of us. He was very friendly and outgoing and clearly proud of Aruba. We enjoyed the Aloe Factory, their guide gave a very good explanation of processing their products, and we bought some products. The donkey sanctuary was an okay stop. The owner/manager was there and spoke with Jeff, but she didn't interact with us at all. I would have enjoyed hearing her story of how and why she started the sanctuary. The museums were interesting, but everything was written in Spanish so we had to ask Jeff our questions. He was very knowledgeable and readily supplied the answers. We really enjoyed the snack he stopped and bought for us - very yummy! The cactus and rock formations at the park were definitely worth the short walk. Tip - If you book through Viator and are coming from a cruise ship, don't go to the front of the Diamonds Int'l building as their instructions say. Instead, stay on the side of DI where the benches are. Jeff has a good place to pull over there to pick up passengers. It was a good 1/2 day tour to spend some time off the ship and get the local flavor of Aruba. Will you be blown away? No, but it was an enjoyable 3+ hours with a friendly local who wants you to enjoy his country.
