About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mringenoldus0 contributionsWonderful Guide in a Beautiful CountryAlthough we’ve visited Curaçao several times, the depth of information regarding the historical and current features of the country allowed us a much broader understanding of the Island. Despite a challenge in scheduling our tour, Laika was repo dive and flexible in making sure we were able to join the tour. She was promptly on time at the designated pick up and all inclusions on the tour were exactly as advertised. Laika was friendly, knowledgeable and gracious. As a travel agent, I would highly recommend her services to my clients when visiting Curaçao.Written 25 January 2024
- Anakai19690 contributionsGreat tour even with a slow startEnjoyed the trip and really appreciated our driver Laika taking us despite not having a full van. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel welcomed. We would have appreciated knowing in advance that we had to wait for more people to sign up instead of waiting on the pier but once the tour started it was an awesome day. Thank you for showing us your beautiful island! Best wishes, Lisa, Wayne and familyWritten 24 November 2023
- simone112140 contributionsGreat service! Highly recommended.Laila and her husband Nox were the best! My husband and I used them for all of our taxi services including airport transfer. Glad we decided to go with the recommendation from a Facebook group. They were kind, pleasant and very knowledgeable. Definitely will be back and will reach out again.Written 30 October 2023
- Z3433XObillp0 contributionsAwesome trip to see a little bit of everything the island has to offerOur tour operator was fantastic. She knew a great deal of history about the island and it was a great experience and very informative. She was able to answer any questions we had about the island, people and politics. The cave was very cool and there again, the guide was very knowledgeable. Lastly the distillery was also interesting and gave you the opportunity to taste and purchase. Seemed to be cheaper there then in the stores or airportWritten 25 May 2023
- I8748QRrobinp0 contributionsWonderfulOur tour guide was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and shared all kinds of interesting things. She took us to incredible beaches and even bought us coconut water which was delicious 😋Written 15 May 2023
- neuronbob0 contributionsExcellent tour, excellent communication, enthusiastic guide.We completed the tour today (3/29/2023). We were exceptionally happy with this tour and would strongly recommend this tour provider. We would use her again. Laika, our contact and our tour guide, provided excellent communication. We were guests from a cruise ship. Because of technical issues, our arrival date changed to one day later, shortly after I paid. I was able to contact Laika via the TripAdvisor message system and she was able to change the date and time for our tour quickly. The fact I could communicate with her easily put me at considerable ease. On our arrival today, she was waiting for my family and me with a sign at the Willemstad cruise port, right on time. We were collected with a small group (eight in total) into an air conditioned van. We were first driven to a scenic overlook with views of the cruise port, and given an opportunity to take pictures. Next was the Curaçao sign, with ample time for photos. Next was the liqueur distillery with a brief tour. The highlight was the Hato caves. As I’m the description, tickets were covered with the price of the tour. We drove past the flamingo preserve with the caveat that they were not always visible. Today, they were easily visible. Throughout the tour, Laika was enthusiastic and provided much knowledge about her home island. She is a proud Curaçaoan and it showed. She speaks four languages and used perfect English and Spanish (several on this tour were Spanish-speakers). She even helped my mother-in-law, and at least other persons, who had difficulty walking during parts of the tour. This was a imply one of the best tour experiences I’ve had. I strongly recommend supporting this small business.Written 29 March 2023
- Aaron D D0 contributionsAwesome Trip!!Awesome day of snorkeling and seeing the beautiful sights and beaches of Curacao. Laika was a wonderful and personal driver. Great snorkeling spot for turtles. Highly recommend if you interested in snorkeling and want a private tour of the island.Written 23 March 2023
- Bkbak0 contributionsExcellent personal tourWe created our own tour for four people with Laika. Communication from beginning to end was perfectly executed with lots of information and accurate descriptions. She met us at the pier and proceeded to provide a wonderful narrative of each place visited. We even got to meet her husband when he took us from Landhuis Chobolobo to Blue Bay Beach.Written 22 March 2023
- PolarOps910 contributionsIncredibleThis review is months later than it should be, but I finally got around to writing it. Laika was absolutely phenomenal. I booked the trip last minute (about 3 days before leaving for Curacao) and even had some last-minute additions once the plane landed and when I called to ask if that was okay she was more than accommodating. I was so worried about the planning and timing but when Laika finally arrived (EARLY, she's so good) she told me I was on island time now and we'd get wherever we were going whenever we got there, which was just an absolutely fantastic thing to hear. She was a wealth of knowledge about the island, from its history to its current economic status to its healthcare system, she had all the facts. I did not plan on leaving that tour with the amount of new knowledge that I did. The locations themselves were breathtaking and just so enjoyable even though it was a bit busier than it normally would be because it was a Sunday. Because we were also a smaller group she offered to skip one of the beaches and instead bring us to a local spot to eat, which was set right on a cliff overlooking crystal blue water. The food was absolutely out of this world and SHE WOULDN'T EVEN LET US PAY FOR IT! Overall I had a wonderful experience with this tour and the island in general. I would recommend it to anyone and when I go back (as I definitely plan on it) I am 100% going to book another. After watching Laika and how other people spoke with her, I also think she is so well known and respected throughout the island, it definitely made a huge difference in the quality of the tour.Written 13 March 2023
- cindiwolfe0 contributionsExcellent, flexible tour.Our first trip to Curacao and was met by the sweetest lady near the port and she took us to the taxi where her husband, Knox was waiting. Our tour was very flexible, that is what we loved the most. No pressure to rush through anything. We totally loved the flexibility of this tour. The time spent at all of the amazing places will always be remembered. Knox was very kind. Highly recommend.Written 7 February 2023
- Nomad975780 contributionsGreat tour of beautiful beachesMuch easier and more flexibility than doing a big tour! Snorkel sets available to rent at beaches. Beautiful beaches!Written 3 November 2022
- 187laurelc0 contributionsHenry and Us!Henry was amazing! Just my husband and I guided through a drive all over the city. He answered all of our questions and gave the history of the city. We went to the Hato caves and waited for us while we went on the tour inside. Then we went to the distillery and he provided a tour through the facility including the tasting. Then allowed us to shop as long as needed. He gave us an option of where we wanted to be dropped off at and instructions on how to get back to the ship. Henry was warm and energetic- made our experience one we won’t forget.Written 25 September 2022
- davidjX9287ME0 contributionsGreat snorkeling trip!Laika met us where she said she would. Knox was a great guide and took us to great beaches to swim with turtles and see some breathtaking ocean views. Trip was very flexible and we had a great timeWritten 17 July 2022
- smadasacul0 contributionsFantastic tour to visit multiple beachesI'm so glad we found this tour! We had a quick trip to the island, so we were interested in visiting multiple beaches to get a feel for different locations. This tour offered a great opportunity to do just that! We had great conversation in the van between stops, learning about the history and culture of the island. Thanks so much!Written 3 July 2022
- W6557PFac0 contributionsLove CurazaoFriendly, knowledgeable and attractive staff. Loved the island and people. Will visit island Again soon.Written 29 June 2022
