Loved this Tour, gave great insight into how Arubans make money aside from tourismourism - Reuben was our tour guide. Really cool, laid back gentleman. We started at the Aruba Aloe production plant and received a tour of the area. After, we visited an art studio of a husband wife duo (I believe the wife's name was Helen). She showed us around their studio, giving background on some of their pieces, and provided us with a free keychain as a token. Afterwards, we were taken to a cigar shop where we were shown and told the process of how Arubans produce cigars. Next, we went to Murano Art, a glass blowing business, and was given a demonstration of how they produce their pieces (really loved their pieces and appreciated the dedication and work they put into producing such beautiful art). We took a break there after the demo for lunch (included with tour) which was fresh and very delicious. Our last stop on the tour was an Aruban Rum shop, where we did a tasting of multiple rum flavors and then were able to purchase if we chose. I really enjoyed Reuben, the other attendees, as well as all others we met at the different stops. It was such an enjoyable excursion and one I won't forget because the energy was so good and everyone, including myself, had a great time.

Wish I’d taken this tour years ago! - Ruben was an excellent guide. Very professional, knowledgeable & personable. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting each location and learning about the local products and art. Lunch was very tasty, too. I recommend this tour for first timers as well as returning visitors, like me, who want to learn more about the island and its people.

Crate visits - I love Murano glass this was my third visit and I always enjoy it. The aloe farm has changed just in two years. I enjoyed the tour of the plant.

Fabulous Aruba Tour - Viator always has the best excursions! The Made in Aruba tour was fantastic. An Aloe Vera factory and farm, a flavored rum factory (yum!), a cigar rolling establishment, glass beads and outdoor museum, and the Murano glass factory. Wonderful to see native Arubans make a go of a home business that showcases their skills. Reuben, our tour guide, was a wealth of information. I would go again if I make it back to Aruba. Highly recommend this tour.

Nothing beats a private rum tasting! - I am not a big drinker. After sampling many different rums, I took home two. There were two glass workshops, at one of which we had lunch. The guide was knowledgeable about Aruba and answered questions about the beaches and hotels. The rum tasting was in a private place. It is unlikely you could find this on other tours.

Good experience - Unfortunately the power was out so the glass blowing demo was unable to happen. The rest of the tour was informative and interesting.
