I am Esther, born and raised in Aruba. I worked 9 years as a first class flight attendant with KLM as well as running my own retail store for 30 years before I retired. I have traveled the world and I still believe that my island Aruba is a paradise incomparable to others. I absolutely love showing my home to visitors that come to visit this special place. I am very flexible for last minute bookings simply one day in advance would be good enough for me to accommodate and prepare for you the perfect tour. Let me show you my culture, heritage and happy island. "Bon Bini" ( This means Welcome in Papiamento, our local language!). Please note: I do not do any tours to the natural pool. A world traveller with a decade of experience as a flight attendant for the Royal Dutch Airline KLM as well as 30 years experience as a retail owner. I am an expert on the locations I share with you and speak multiple languages to accommodate my traveler's. Service is my passion.

    Book Ester your first full day in Aruba! What a lovely, relaxing way to discover the island! And…as a local her sense of Aruba’s history is very personal, she has answers to your questions and lots of suggestions of where to dine, where to have fun, and even some thoughts about what might be a waste of time. Ester is a gem!

    We were in Aruba for a day on a cruise (March 2026) and wanted to make the most of that time, so we used Tours By Locals as we have many times before. Esther picked us up on time in her beautiful and comfortable SUV. She drove us to all sides of her island and told us about the history, the culture, the geography and the people. And we learned quite a bit about Esther’s...

    Ester is a great tour guide. She showed us around the island and explained the history of Aruba. He enjoyed seeing the main attractions and a few hidden gems.
