        Jonathan is the man.
        As my 6 and 7 year old said “100/10.” What an amazing experience and a great time. Jonathan was super helpful and knowledgeable - honestly this was one of the best things we did in Aruba!

        Good way to see Arikok and Aruba
        A great way to see Arikok National Park and drive through the non-touristy parts of Aruba. The ride is rough bc it’s off road. Very bumpy. The cave was cool and the natural pool beautiful. It’s rocky terrain down to the pools, and you could twist an ankle if you aren’t careful. Slick and rocky at the bottom around the pool.

        A great tour with Dolfi!
        It was a great half day tour of the island. Dolfi was a fabulous guide and really looked after us. He took us to the California Light House, Alto Vista Chapel, the Peace Labyrinth, Casibari rock formations and many other interesting sights along the way. It was fun and informative and a great way to spend a morning learning more about the beautiful island of Aruba. Thank you Dolfi!

        Fav tour! Highly recommend! Skyler was great!
        Our jeep tour in Aruba was absolutely incredible, thanks to our guide Skyler! From start to finish, he was energetic, fun, and truly made the experience unforgettable. We visited some of the most stunning spots on the island, including the Natural Pool, where we had an amazing swim surrounded by rocks and turquoise water. The caves were just as awe-inspiring, and Skyler's enthusiasm made exploring them even more exciting. Next, we headed to the Piranha Pond—such a unique stop—and then spent some time at Baby Beach, where the calm waters and vibrant surroundings were perfect for relaxation. Skyler’s knowledge of the island, along with his great sense of humor, made the day even better. He was friendly, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Aruba’s beauty with us. This was by far the most fun and engaging tour we've had on the island. If you're visiting Aruba, do yourself a favor and take this tour with Skyler—you won’t regret it!

        Good use of time. Saw it all
        We saw all the highlights of the island. Our driver was great. Knowledgeable and gave us all the history. So polite and helpful with getting around always there to help us.

        Worth the trip!
        Leroy was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the culture of the island and was willing to answer all of our curious questions about what it’s like to live on the island. Loved snorkeling the hidden cove - so glad I brought water shoes. Baby beach was gorgeous, and the “pedicure” we got was unique. He made us feel very welcome on the island.

        Great day out
        Did this tour as a last minute decision and so glad we did. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the AGW office to start our trip. Leroy was fun and informative. His driving skills round the national park were amazing - the road was definitely not for the faint hearted. Leroy you were awesome!

        Fun adventure for couples
        Jonathan our tour guide was so chill and amazing. He brought us to so many places. The terrain in Aruba is rough to navigate. You definitely need a local to help guide you. The tour team picked us up at our hotel lobby. The pickup window is actually 1:15-1:50 for the 2:00 pm tour. We got picked up at 1:45 pm. Before embarking, you must sign a waiver. You stop by the business office where you can use the restroom, get water and pick a small snack (chips or energy bar). Our jeep fit about 8 people. We were in a party of 7. We got to see all over the island. The others on the tour were really great and friendly. You pick which language you want the tour in. We picked English so our tour had folks also from the US. We got to see Baby Beach. You can swim there for about 30 minutes. We drove past oil refineries , salt water purification centers, animal cemeteries , the military base, and other landmarks. We went to ancient caves. We went to a small pool where we could snorkel and watch ocean fish swim. This is a great tour for newbies to Aruba. It is a wonderful way to experience the island and spend a charming half day. I highly recommend this!

        Really fun tour
        It’s a really fun experience. Good value. I recommend bringing at least one change of clothes, because you go snorkel first, then you drive, then you go in a cave, and then you go to the natural oil and are wet again, and then you drive back.

        It was super fun! Definitely recommend! I was nervous going by myself, but surprisingly there was another group there too! It was honestly very fun! Baby beach is now my favorite beach!

        Great family adventure!
        Our half day jeep tour was a blast! Leroy was a great guide and made sure my family was well taken care of throughout. We had two young kids who comfortably sat in the interior of the vehicle with no issues. The stop at Baby Beach was only like 30 minutes so we could only do a quick snorkel, but that was plenty for our young kids. The ride through the national park was definitely bumpy but bearable for the short-ish routes between stops. The AGW jeep was smaller than others we saw, and the seats faced inwards to each other rather than sideways rows. Plenty of space to store bags. We liked that we didn’t have to caravan with other jeeps, as we saw jeeps from other companies traveling together, making the groups bigger and possible wait times to get on and off slower. Make sure to bring towels and water shoes (the beach near the natural pools was very rocky and rough on the feet). AGW picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. Would highly recommend!

        The Absolute BEST Tour Ever -- Thanks Dolfi!
        OMG, this was the BEST Tour we have ever had, and we do a lot of traveling and Viator tours stateside and abroad. Dolfi picked up my wife and me this morning. We were the only ones on tour and could not get any more personal tour experience. We had an absolute blast and highly endorse Dolfi and AGW Tours and Services to future visitors. When we return, we will seek out Dolfi and AGW Tours for another quality day in Aruba. We are sorry for the news Dolfi received at the tail end of our tour, but we trust God will guide him and his family accordingly. v/r, Dr. Ken and Lorna King

      Tour was advertised 4 hours for $100.00 each but when I wanted to visit Baby Beach the guide said not enough time as he was told 3 hours. We would have chosen another tour for that price. We requested a discount from the company a couple of times but never heard back.

      We were so very disappointed! Over $400 for the private tour… 4 adults and one toddler …the van was dirty… the guide was very difficult to understand… he offered no information about anything. I was constantly asking where we going next. He seemed annoyed most of the time.
      We learned virtually nothing about the island. Will definitely book elsewhere. Next time.

      We had the BEST tour with Skylar. He took us all over the island, got out and walked us through climbing to the top of the rock formation, walking through the goldmine ruins with us, and took photos of us at the lighthouse. He explained so much in route to the next stop. He made our little tour of the beautiful island perfect! We saw other tour guides that were literally sitting in their vans while their customers got out alone. Not Skylar he got out and walked with us, explaining things along the way and always looking out for our safety.

      We booked this tour to fill the hours between disembarking from our Windstar Cruise and our mid-afternoon flight. At the end of the tour we would need to be dropped at the airport. We were in touch with AGW Tours before we left for the Carribbean and again the morning of the tour to clarify our meeting time based on the ship's disembarking schedule. The staff member we spoke with was very courteous and helpful. Our driver and guide, Dolfi, was terrific. He had cold water on hand and even brought some snacks. We received an excellent overview of the country which like many vacation locations is still recovering from the effects that COVID had on tourism. We visited the California Lighthouse, the Aloe Vera product manufacturing plant, did a drive through the beach resort area which allowed us to see the beaches and the different resort facilities. We made a stop at the Casibari Rock formations, and the Natural Bridge. At one time there were two bridges, but nature has taken it's toll and one has collapsed - not unlike the collapse of The Old Man of the Mountain in our home state of New Hampshire in 2003. We also had the opportunity to visit the studio of a Murano Italy trained glass blower who has made his home on Aruba. We learned a lot about the people and the country of Aruba from the wealth of knowledge that Dolfi shared with us. We had a lot of questions and Dolfi was happy to answer them. Thank you for making our short visit to Aruba memorable.

      It was fun because you got a chance to actually talk with the tour guide, Dolfi.
      He took the time to share his personal experiences living on the island.
      He took pictures for us.
      He gave advice, snacks, and water.
      We never felt rushed like we felt on some of the larger bus tours that we had taken.
      He guided us to the best picture spots.
      It was a lot of fun!

      Dolfi picked us from
      Hotel and took us all around the island. He was knowledgeable about the various spots and was funny too in between. We were craving for local curry dishes and he took us to the best Jamaican place called O’ Neil’s in San Nicholas . Everything is delicious. We had jerk chicken, goat curry, chicken curry, sea food curry and roti. We didn’t feel the tour was rushed in any way and he kept pointing out to all the important things. Would recommend him again. He also had snacks and water on the car for us

      My husband and I wanted to see the southern part of the island and Dolfi delivered. He has such a comprehensive knowledge of the history of the island as well as what is currently happening on the island, where the locals like to hang out, and seems to know almost everyone you may run across. We spent a lot of time in San Nicolas looking at all the murals, while Dolfi filled us in on the background of the artists and the revitalization of San Nicolas as a whole. We also spent some time at Baby Beach (along with a stop at Big Mama's), and driving through the old colony neighborhoods from when the refinery was still open. Dolfi had a lot of of info to share on the refinery and housing colony as well. It was great to explore a part of the island we had not previously seen. The bus was clean and comfortable and it was a fantastic tour. If you are looking for a tour where you control where you explore, this is the tour, and Dolfi is the man for the job!

      It sounds like you and your husband had an amazing time exploring the southern part of the island with Dolfi! 🌟 His extensive knowledge of Aruba's history, current happenings, and local hangouts clearly made the tour special. Exploring San Nicolas and learning about the murals, artists, and revitalization efforts must have been fascinating. Visiting Baby Beach, Big Mama's, and the old colony neighborhoods added even more depth to your adventure. We're thrilled to hear that Dolfi made your tour memorable and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we hope to see you again for more explorations with Dolfi and AGW Tours! 🚐🎨🏖️ #AGWTours #ArubaAdventure

      Cancelledon me 24 hrs before, despite booking 3-4 weeks prior. I was concerned when I booked cuz 1 person private tour was so well priced, but no way to confirm with any specific company. I'm mobility impaired which I stated in notes. They offered to substitue an ATV Jeep tour 🥴 I hope they handle the refund promptly.
