A fabulous tour and a fun morning! - Joel was an excellent tour guide. Very friendly, very knowledgeable. Gave us not only a history of Korsou, but of other parts of the Caribbean and South America and how those contributed to the history of Korsou. A great tour, good pace, and lots of kaya kaya art to look at.

Review de kleurrijke geschiedeniswandeling van Curaçao - A nice walking tour with a good guide called Leidy. We got information about the history, culture, art, cuisine, ... of the island. The guide adapted to the pace of the group. We were allowed to ask questions and there was enough time to take pictures of the sights. I recommend this tour.🙂👌🏻✨

Excellent experience - Our guided city tour was fantastic. Leidy was in charge of not only taking us to know all the important points of the center; she also delved into the story and told us stories that helped us to know a little more Curacao.
Highly recommended experience.

Well worth it if you’re serious about learning - Meeting point could be clearer - there are canons on both side of the floating bridge and picked the wrong side. What’s app calls soon fixed it. Also the night was closed for a ship coming it so we couldn’t cross over - use the free ferry for the 3-4 min trip over if needed!
Our tour guide Joel was great - very knowledgeable and he took us to areas on both sides of the river we would not have otherwise seen.
Lots of walking up and down steps so wear good comfy shoes.
Lots or art, history and support from a great tour guide. We loved it! My wife took the art pictures so I’ll update those later!

An Up Close and Intimate Experience - My husband and I love to experience a new country through its history. The Colorful Historic Walking Tour of Curacao was top notch! The guide Leidy Rodriguez was knowledgeable and engaging. She brought all of our five senses to bear in unfolding the history of Curacao. The tour included culinary, art, religious, political and cultural influences.
During our 3 hour tour we had plenty of opportunities to take pictures and we also had a stop for refreshments.
I highly recommend taking this tour.

Don’t miss this historic , interesting tour! - Lady (spelling?) was an amazing tour guide! She showed us all the local areas, including all the historic buildings. She explained the history of the island, its diverse population and lovely cultural environment. She showed us all the beautiful art and street art . Highly recommend this tour if you want to get a feel for the history and culture of the island! Thank you Lady!

Worth the Walking - This tour was absolutely incredible! You’ll get to see and experience things you might otherwise miss without it. Naomi and Richard were fantastic hosts—so personable, which made the experience even more engaging and fun. I think my Apple Watch was in shock from all the steps I took—LOL! If you’re physically able to walk this tour, do yourself a favor and go for it—it’s totally worth it! The artistry/murals are amazing!
Make sure you ask for Naomi, the “cool” auntie!

Nice! - Our tour guide, Joel, was very friendly and helpful, but could have been a bit more knowledgeable. The tour also ran over by one hour. One the one hand, that was generous of him; on the other, it could impact plans we had after. Overall, it was a good tour.
