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.

Welcome to Aruba! During this amazing 6 hour private tour you will see all the most popular sights and experience the best parts of the island with a local guide. We'll see all of the things you would see on an ordinary tour - they're certainly worthwhile. But I will also show you the special things that make Aruba special. As your private tour guide, I can adjust the schedule, duration and activities to meet your needs. Please let me know of any special requests you have. PLEASE NOTE: While I do my best to ensure that my availability is up-to-date at all times, due to my heavy work load (especially during the peak travel season), my availability may be subject to change at very short notice. To avoid any disappointments, I ask that you send me a message with your preferred tour date and start times BEFORE you book and pay. Please click on the button labelled 'ASK A QUESTION' to send me a message and I will reply to you promptly. Thank you.
This is a great way to get an overall Aruba experience if it is your first time on the island. The beach was fantastic and we all enjoyed learning about the aloe plant. Esther is a great guide and we were thankful to have a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for our experience.
We had an amazing time in Aruba. Esther was waiting for us right outside the cruise terminal with a sign that had our last name. We were a group of 7 and she immediately bonded with us. She took us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary she had for us and we enjoyed every single place we visited. She was very knowledgeable about her hometown and made it very interesting and informative for us. She was also extremely friendly. I’m so glad she was our tour guide and really recommend her tours! She goes above and beyond and thanks to her my family had a wonderful time!
An interesting tour of the island. There is not much to Aruba but Esther made the best of it. I generally prefer a bit more direction (you should get our here) rather than asking whether I want to stop. I have never been so I look to locals for guidance. I felt we had a pretty complete tour of the island.
We had a fantastic time with Esther and very much enjoyed our day on Aruba with her!! She was VERY knowledgeable and accommodating of the preferences. No one in our party had been to Aruba before and she gave us a perfect introduction to the island and its many highlights. Highly recommended!!
Aruba is a beautiful place but having an awesome guide (Esther Ranis) made it 100% more enjoyable. Esther knows the island like the back of her hand and is extremely welcoming. She customized our tour making sure that we saw the important areas and had enough tine to spend at the beach. Esther is very very nice and truly cared about our experience. We will definitely go back to Aruba and get Esther to show us around again. THANK YOU ESTHER!!!
She was such a pleasure and so informative. She could read the group of when we wanted to hear about the island and when we wanted to have fun. She made our day in Aruba so special and fun. We loved all the stops she got us to. Esther was a delight and I would have no problem recommending her tour if she ever needs a good reference.
Our day and the time we start your private tour is flexible and is meant to accommodate your schedule and interests. Typically although not necessarily in this order, we will goin the morning and see the California lighthouse, The Aloe Museum, Alto Vista Chapel, Downtown Oranjestad, Eagle Beach and the Casibari/Ayo rock formation. In the second part of the day we will go to the other half of the island to San Nicolas, Baby Beach, Mangel Halto, Savaneta andhave lunch on the way. Should you have other interests, let me know and I will see if I can plan it in the tour for you. Please note that I do not go the Natural Pool.
