I experienced the best walking tour! - I’ve been on walking tours in Europe and throughout America, and this was by far the best! Junior Hamilton’s tour provides an accurate and thorough overview of Curaçao’s history. His presentation covers key topics, including the island’s settlement and colonization, maritime and trade history, the development of the capital city, Willemstad, and the ongoing community-led efforts to preserve its neighborhoods. He also does an excellent job explaining the country’s governance and its modern relationship with Holland/The Netherlands. During the tour, Junior takes you to local shops owned by artisans who offer unique, ecologically responsible products—from rum to jewelry—so you won’t waste money on generic tourist traps. His personality is warm and personable, making the experience feel like sharing time with an old friend rather than just taking a tour!

Enthusiastic, interesting, guide fits well - Don't expect a standard tour of memorized words, Mr. Young. Hamilton wants to connect with what you are interested in, enjoys getting to know you and is happy to show you the beautiful and special places of Willemstad. Speaks English and pretty good Dutch. Highlight for me was the Lion Fish information and the peanut ice cream!
