Great Slow Paced Trolley - I did this tour as an excursion thru a cruise. It goes slow enough so that you can take plenty of pictures. The guide is very knowledgeable. It is not air conditioned, but open air - there is a roof, so you are not completely in the sun. Go early morning or later afternoon rather than high noon. Pick up was right outside the ship. Drop off was next to the pontoon bridge, if you wanted to walk and shop OR right outside the ship

Barbie girl on a pink trolley - Our guide was very knowledgeable and I got to learn about a part of the history of Curaçao in a pink trolley. What else can I ask for? Not a long tour, but long enough to enjoy a beautiful part of Punda.

Funny tour - Nice tour. Not excessively long. Very friendly Dutch speaking guide. You get a lot of explanations about the capital and its buildings.

Hard to hear commentary - We were seated in the 2nd train car and after starting out on the tour everyone was complaining that we couldn't hear. Stopped near the pretty steps for pictures and they tried to fix the speaker but it wouldn't work. Then sat there longer and longer, no communication. Some people left and walked back. The driver then said they were bringing someone to help. Another employee got on and rode in the 2nd car and narrated the tour but she was still hard to hear and understand with her dialect. We made another 10 minute stop in the downtown and then finished the tour. Not worth the $25 per person we paid.

Ruined by boring tour guide - It could have been great but our tour guide kept repeating the same information over and over. "This house is now a business"... So boring. Only got enthusiastic at the end when she spoke about the female governor. Surely an island that gas been populated for that long gas some interesting history? The houses were beautiful. If we visit again just going to do our own thing.

Cancelation commitment not honoured - Viator changed the time of this. tour from the morning to 6pm in the evening AFTER our cruise ship was to leave. We cancelled the tour on the basis of their guarantee and despite 3 email to confirm this they still charged us for the trip. Still trying to get our money back. Even more annoying given we booked another Viator trip in the morning which we went on. Would seriously question using them again the cancelation guarantee is not what it claims to be
