| Esther was wonderful as our tour guide during our recent visit to Aruba. She was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and personable. Our four-hour tour flew by and we came away with lots more information than we feel we could have gleaned on our own as well as a new friend! We would highly recommend her. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Sheri how nice of you to say such nice things! Thank you very much. It was great having you visit Aruba. I do hope that you will come again one day.
Best wishes

| Enjoyed our tour with Esther very much. We saw all the highlights of the island including downtown with commentary and history from Esther. Unfortunately rough water precluded our snorkeling on the more popular beaches near the hotels but she took us to Baby Beach where we were able to get in the water with decent visibility. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Glad to hear that you enjoyed the higlights of Aruba. You must come back some day and get some more snorkeling. HOpe I can welcome you back here some time in the future

| We are very pleased to have selected the. Tour and especially with Esther. Esther knows her stuff and she explains the differing locations on the island. She really made Aruba come alive in very practical terms. She explains things as they are both the good and the bad. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in a tour that is very much more complete and more accurate than a comparable tour available from the cruise ship for example.

| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Wow, Thank you so very much for your praise and recommendations!
I o hope you will come back to our island someday. You came as strangers and left as friends.\

| My family and I recently visited Aruba on a cruise. We didn't know much about the island, nor did we have much time. We wanted an in-depth and unforgettable tour, Esther delivered. The whole experience was great. Meeting Esther was more like reconnecting with an old friend, rather than meeting a random guide. Esther was knowledgeable, friendly and was a great compliment to our time in Aruba. The whole experience was highly personalized and one of the highlights of our cruise. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Wow! What a lovely rating you gave me. Thank you so much. We did have a lovely time together and yes you came as strangers but left as dear friends. I sincerely hope we can re-connect again on my "Happy Island" Aruba.
Best wishes to you and your dear ones.

| We had a wonderful tour with Esther. She took us all over the island and gave us insight into the local culture. Although there were certain things to include in the tour, she was very flexible if we wanted to make a stop or add anything. It was so much nicer than being on a bus full of cruise passengers and I highly recommend this option. Booking was easy, communication was excellent and Esther was waiting for us as expected. Thank you for a wonderful day in Aruba!! |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Linda,
Thank you so much for your nice comments. I had a great morning too! I sincerely hope that one day you will return to our "Dushi" (means sweet) island!
Best wishes always

| Esther is the consummate tour guide: Attentive to our requests, knowledgeable about her country and it's history, has a sense of humour and is an excellent driver.
She showed us interesting and beautiful sites in Aruba and even dropped us off near a shopping centre at our request after detailing the path to get back to our cruise ship. Upon us asking about house prices in Aruba, she even took us to a newly built housing community to pick up brochures and see a model home. Quite exceptional! A++ guide! |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you so much for your very positive feedback. Yes, it was nice welcoming you both to our happy island and I do sincerely hope that you will return one day and see more. Best wishes and do keep in touch.

| Very nice visit with Esther. We went to places where no cruise tours would go. We visited the island from one end to the other. Esther was very happy to talk about her island. We had a change of our arrival time and I e-mailed Esther the night before arriving and she was there on time as expected. Thanks again Esther. |
| TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Andre for your kind words. I too had a great time with you. I always thoroughly enjoy showing visitors around my "Happy Island", especially to lesser know areas. I hope you have taken home lovely memories and that one day you will return again. Best wishes - Esther |

| We had the most absolute best time! Esther I believe we made a friend in Aruba. Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality and your welcoming adventurous spirit. I am so happy we were able to share the Butterfly's, Ostrich's, and Aruba's beautiful beaches. It was one of the highlights of our trip.
I would highly recommend this tour. We look forward to visiting again.
