Professional and helpful tour company - Very informative and fun tour with Benjamin and Caesar. We took the Monday 1000 to 330pm tour by bus from the Surf Club . Visited Butterfly farm, Aruba Aloe including tours , Natural and baby bridge, Ayo rock formation. Snack at the natural bridge included. Cheese pastry was super tasty. We appreciated the well rounded background information on Aruba as well as all the stop off points history. We left knowing a lot more on life generally in Aruba. Benjamin and Caesar were super helpful and good humoured. Highly recommend the tour!

The best of Aruba - Jay was an excellent tour guide and bus driver. Our excursion was actually Colors of Aruba, but it showed the best of Aruba - Ostrich Farm, Natural Bridge, Caribari Rocks, and California Lighthouse. Enjoyed the tour.

Way more than I expected - All of our friends who've been to Aruba told us you should do this, see this... we decided to do the 7 hour bus tour. Our driver/tour guide, Jay, was not only great at telling us history and different parts of the islands, but he was funny and entertaining. We enjoyed the different sites that we saw as well as seeing a demonstration of glass blowing. The entire tour was very enjoyable, and let us explore the beautiful island of Aruba!

Aruba tour bus with Jay from De Palm tours - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Jay, our bus driver and tour guide from De Palm Tours in Aruba! From the moment we got on the bus, Jay kept the entire group entertained with his great sense of humor, quick wit, and warm personality. He had us laughing the whole way—his jokes and stories made the trip both fun and unforgettable!
Not only is Jay incredibly funny, but he’s also very knowledgeable. He shared so much about Aruba’s history, culture, landmarks, and even fun local facts that really brought the island to life. You can tell he truly loves what he does and takes pride in showing off his beautiful island.
We were also impressed by Jay’s patience and professionalism. He handled the group with ease, gave everyone personal attention, and made sure we all felt comfortable and included—no matter how many questions we had or how many photo stops we requested!
Jay made our tour one of the best parts of our trip to Aruba. If you’re booking a tour with De Palm, ask for Jay—you won’t regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a phenomenal all... - This was a phenomenal all day tour highlighting the best of Aruba. Earnie, the tour conductor is a gem. He has considerable knowledge of the history and culture of Aruba with a wonderful personality. He was also helpful to my sister who had difficulty walking. He carried the wheelchair on the tour and also carried my sister to the bus after her experiencing the beauty of Baby Beach. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Best bus tour - My family and I celebrated my sister-in-law’s birthday in Aruba. We enjoyed the Best of Aruba bus tour. We were given a bit of history while being entertained by our tour guide, Donald. He was very kind and knowledgeable. He even asked the entire group to sing the birthday song. We had a great time!!

Ask for Luis! - My whole family thoroughly enjoyed the Aruba by Bus Tour, even my 20 year old, who didn’t want to spend a full day in Aruba on a bus!! That’s because our tour guide, Luis in Bus #175, made the day very enjoyable with his knowledge of the island & his humor!! It was our first trip to the island & a great way to see Aruba since we didn’t rent a car. Highly recommend this tour & Luis!! The bus is air conditioned & comfortable and the day included a great lunch, too, so it was money well spent!

Bad-tempered driver. - The tour very well, the bad thing was the driver that 50% of us spoke Spanish and did not want to give the tour in another language and at insistence said out there how many words, was very bad tempered and when we got off the bus we did not give tip because his attention did not seem good and he did not tell us or thank you and closed the door fast, it was very bad his attention was on Saturday, January 17.

Update Itinerary and What Is Included !!!!!! - This was a nice tour - overall!!!!! My complaint is that the itinerary description is not accurate. The description states that the tour starts with a 15 minute walking tour of downtown - NO SUCH STOP and no information about downtown!!!! People select tours based on the stated itinerary!!!!!
The included lunch was at the Natural Bridge and the plate looked beautiful and was generous but the BBQ was too tough- not edible tough - this was not only my feeling but the general consensus. If they simply steam the BBQ on low for a few hours, it would fall off the bone.
The tour description stated snorkel gear would be provided but the tour operator told us only one piece would be provided and we would have to rent a complete set but I didn't see any snorkel gear offered.
The tour went to a glass blowing factory, which was OK but not stated in the itinerary.
The tour driver, Uri, was great!
