Great tour / excursion, highly recommend! - We had a great experience with Chogogo tours on a cruise stop in Aruba. Great communication before the stop, meet up was simple, our guide was very friendly and helpful. We loved the drinks and snack box and all of the snorkeling and additional info. The guide was very accommodating. We really loved the art district, we were focused on snorkeling when we booked so the art district was a cool surprise with lots of cool photo opps. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a tour in Aruba.

Fun afternoon! - What a great day! Amos was a wonderful host. We visited three beaches and drove almost the entire island. The snorkeling was fantastic especially at Mangel Halto. We saw amazing marine life. Amos put us completely at ease and shared his deep insight into the island - and made us laugh too!

Aruba Review - John made our first time in Aruba one we will never forget! He was super kind and funny and shared so much knowledge about the island. We got a local snack box to try local foods and we did a ton of snorkeling and even swam with some turtles! Absolutely recommend!

Great day seeing Aruba with John - John was a great guide - super personable and friendly, and full of knowledge about the island. The spots we went to snorkel were incredible - we saw turtles, eels, tons of fish and a manta ray. He has plenty of beverages for all, alcoholic and non. Would absolutely book again.

Not exactly a private tour - I booked this private tour for our family months ago. We were a group of six adults and five small children, so flexibility and a slower pace were important. The tour operator assured us it would only be our family participating and that we could have flexibility with the pacing and itinerary. Six days prior to the tour, the tour operator called and told me that another family would be joining us on the tour. "Not a big group", she assured me. "Just one more family.". I told her we had booked a PRIVATE tour and did NOT want another family joining us, but she refused to take no for an answer. She continued to press me, and I continued to say No. We had booked a private tour for a number of reasons and did NOT want another family joining us. The conversation was exhausting, as she WOULD NOT GIVE UP. She then pressured me to cancel my booking with Viator and rebook through their website. Despite her repeated attempts, I refused to cancel my Viator booking. It was an incredibly frustrating and worrying call. When we showed up the morning of our tour, the operator was there with two vehicles, one for our family and another bus for the other group who had signed up for the tour. Our family would be in a separate vehicle, but we'd be "tag-teaming" with the other group, moving from one beach to another to another. We explained that, with five small children, trying to move from beach to beach to beach (40 minutes at each beach) would be difficult. We asked to spend our entire time at one of the three beaches, rather than move from one beach to the next, etc. The guide recommended one of the three beaches as being best for small children, took us there, and helped us get set up. At 11am, the guide told us he was going to pick up the local snacks that are included in the tour. He promised he'd be back in 20 minutes. ONE HOUR AND 40 MINUTES LATER, he returns, and announces that we need to pack up and leave the beach immediately, as we're out of time. When I ask what happened and why he was so late, he LAUGHED and said he'd been chatting with his boss the entire time. He said that because we didn't want to travel with the other group from beach to beach to beach, it had been a problem for his boss and we'd need to eat our snacks on the bus. This may be described as a "private" tour, but rest assured that if another group also books, you'll be tag teaming your day with them in a locked itinerary. Also, be prepared to be pressured to cancel your Viator booking and/or include others in your "private" tour. Forewarned is forearmed.
