Amazing Experience!! - Jackie is an amazing tour guide. She is a pleasure to be with and incredibly informative. She picked us up from our resort on time and drove us to all over the island to visit the sights we requested. At several of the places she offered to take photos of us. She offered water as well. Our tour began at 2pm and we did not have any problems with traffic. We highly recommend this tour.

Ambitious itinerary - May not be possible to do everything in the itinerary in 4 hours. We took 4 1/2 and didn't make all the stops. We went out at 2:00, but because of traffic, morning might be better.

Wheelchair accessible Aruba tour recommend as long as straps are secure - I am writing to share feedback regarding our recent tour in Aruba with Diego. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely caring throughout the experience. However, I have a serious safety concern that I feel needs to be addressed.
When my husband’s mobility scooter was placed in the back of the vehicle while we were driving, we suddenly heard a loud crash. When we looked back, the scooter had tipped over with my husband still seated in it. Upon checking, I noticed the scooter had not been secured, and when I asked Diego about it, he explained that he did not have the necessary straps at that time.
The scooter was put back upright, and to prevent another fall, I sat in the back of the vehicle and physically held the scooter to keep it stable while we continued driving. At our first stop, Diego was fortunately able to find straps and secure the scooter.
However, when we resumed driving and I was seated next to my husband again, the scooter began tipping over once more. I immediately informed Diego, and he said he would adjust the straps at the next stop. In the meantime, I had to return to the back and continue holding the scooter up to prevent it from falling again.
While Diego repeatedly and kindly checked to make sure my husband was okay, the scooter continued to feel unstable, and I was required to spend the remainder of that portion of the tour physically supporting it. This was extremely tiring and stressful, as I was constantly worried about my husband being injured.
I truly appreciate Diego’s kindness and concern, but transporting a guest in a mobility scooter without proper and secure restraints presents a serious safety risk. I wanted to bring this to your attention so that future guests do not experience the same situation.
Thank you for taking the time to review this feedback.
