The Best Tour Curacao - What a wonderful day with Ralph. He is such a delightful, funny and considerate person. We were able to choose whatever we would like to do but I highly recommend seeking his input. His knowledge of the island was incredible and you could tell how well respected he was by the folks we met. Knowing I had a fish allergy he was super careful to ensure everything I ate was safe. We had requested to try the local cuisine and we were not disappointed. He was also super considerate of my sensitivity to the sun ensuring to find spots with shade each place we stopped. His car was super comfortable and the air conditioning was great. We saw the flamingos, turtles, national park and some of the oldest homes from the sad days of slavery, as well as, many sites in Williamstad just to list a few. We really can’t recommend Ralph enough. It was truly the highlight of our time in Curacao. Ralph we will see you next time! Thank you for the most amazing time Adrienne and Robin Toronto, Canada

Best Tour in Curacao - This was the best tour my husband and I have ever had. Ralph is an absolutely delightful and funny human. He let us help guide wherever we wanted to go. He was incredibly considerate kind and had tremendous knowledge of the island. You could see by all the folks we met how well respected he was on the island. We went for local food and knowing I was allergic to fish, he made sure everything was safe for me to eat. We went to the national park among various other stops including the flamingos and sea turtles. He made sure to pick places with shade knowing I was super sensitive to sun. I can not recommend him strongly enough. My husband was equally impressed. His car was super comfortable and of course the air conditioning was wonderful in between stops. What a fantastic way to see the island. Ralph thank you! We can’t wait to see you next time. Robin and Adrienne Toronto, Canada

Excellent - Great experience, driver Ralph is on time, involved, pleasant, thinks along and also consciously asks about what you want to see, but also about allergies. Had a really great experience. We wanted to see not only all the touristy things, but also the non-touristy things. He could tell us a lot about the island, which was really great.

A Wonderful Day in Charming Curacao! - We did a private drive around tour with Ralph and we're very happy with our day! Curacao was absolutely stunning and what made it extra special was Ralph's commitment to making it a memorable day for us. He showed us the sights across the length and breadth of the island as well as a tour of gorgeous Willemstad. More than anything Ralph's attention to detail was a delight. Apart from the icy cold bottles of water, he had wet wipes for our dripping brows as well as internet in his spacious and comfy car. Ralph was informative, attentive and accomodating and made Curacao special for us. Many thanks Ralph!

Great customized tour for families - Great for families because you are in control of where you go and when you stop for bathroom breaks, snacks, etc. the vehicle had plenty of room for 2 parents and 2 kids. Ralph was very knowledgeable of all the history and other things about the island.

Great day in Curaçao - We had wonderful day with Ralph, he is excellent and knowledgeable licensed Tour guide and a Taxi driver. He picked us up on time and at the end even went over the 6 hours. His car was very comfortable and clean. His recommendation for lunch was great and the view was amazing. He asked us what we were interested at and then planned the day for us. Curaçao turned out to be a great stop for us thanks to Ralph
