"Bon biní" to Curaçao! That means "welcome" to Curaçao in our local language, Papiamentu. I'm Elton, a local island-boy born and raised in Curaçao who would be more than glad to show you around his island. As an avid traveller who has visited about 80 countries so far (probably your country too), my love and appreciation for Curaçao only kept on growing as I travelled more and more. Meeting people from across the globe with different backgrounds and cultures is one of the things I enjoy the most. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the island. It would be an honour to share all this love and appreciation with you and also teach you some Papiamentu if you're interested! Feel free to request eventual customized activities so I can arrange it all. Send me a message, even when it shows that I'm unavailable!! ATTENTION: - In case you or someone on your party has mobility issues (difficulties walking), I'd recommend sending me a message first instead of immediately booking so we can discuss and see whether it would be possible to do the tour. - Prices are for tours starting in Willemstad only; hotels in the Jan Thiel area and also Sandals Royal are not Willemstad. An extra fee will be added to cover the further distance for the pick-up and drop-off. If staying in the western side of the island and the tour occurs there, there will be no extra fee. I hope to see you soon! :-) - Certified tour guide (CTA: Curaçao Tourist Attendance certificate, 2011) - Driver licenses B, C, D, E. - Certificate of "Safety on the road" (VVV-Veilig Verkeer) - Bachelor in Education (Geography) since 2005, including teaching experience since 2004. - World-traveler: 85 countries visited across 6 continents. - Experience as a guide since 2011 - Able to communicate in 6 different languages, next to our own Papiamentu. - I am not licensed to guide inside some museums due to their regulations.

September 2026Thank you for the kind review Deborah, it's much appreciated and I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much!
Elton is tremendous— incredibly knowledgeable, with many years of experience as an educator under his belt, but also very personable. If you love learning about a new place on your feet, this is the walking tour for you!

April 2026Dear Benjamin, thank you very much for the kind review. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the walking tour with me. :-)
I'd give Elton a 6 star if it was available. He had such a deep knowledge, English was great so there were no communication problems. We opted to modify the tour to see some more things downtown and delete the beach. He was very flexible. Had him pick an authentic local food restaurant for lunch. It was great. Very enjoyable, interesting, and wonderful.
