Pickup was half an hour late, and we still had to get to the starting point. The bus was crowded and our knees were right against the seat in front of us. No room to move and very uncomfortable. Our guide rushed us through some areas so he could make up time. The tour itself was okay/interesting and the guide/driver was pretty informative. The Tour had good potential.

Great excursion. Met the driver near the cruise port as instructed. He spoke good English and narrated appropriately. He drove us on a tour of the hotel district which was enticing for a future visit to the island. WE then stopped at the California Lighthouse and stayed for an appropriate amount of time. Other tourists were there as well as vendors. No bathroom. We then stopped at the nearby Arashi beach to use the bathrooms. The beach was beautiful and crowded with hotel guests at this hour of the morning. We then went to the Alto Vista chapel, a small quaint Catholic chapel. Other tourists and were there as well as vendors but that did not interfere with our visit. We then went to the Aloe Factory/Store and had a guided tour with an adequate amount of time to shop. We continued in the countryside to the Casi Bari rock formations. Quite a natural site to see. Other tourists and buses were there as well as a permanent restaurant/gift shop. We continued to the Natural Bridge with adequate time to explore. There was a shop with restrooms. We then continued to the Bushiribana Goldmine Ruins. Other tourists were there but not overwhelming. On our way back to our pick-up/drop-off point, we toured downtown Aruba which was bustling with tourists and locals alike! This is a great tour with lots to see. It was amazing to see how much of the island is desert with 4 kinds of cacti!
