"Bon biní, na mi dushi Kòrsou", which means "Welcome, to my beautiful island Curaçao" in our native language, Papiamentu. I'm Raychan, a young (27 years) local island boy born and raised in Curaçao whose primary focus is to deliver you the best experience on Curaçao. From the moment I opened my car rental in 2019, I had the honor to offer tourists my service of renting a car on the island. On many occasions tourists would asked me to show them Curaçao, me being as friendly and going the extra mile to meet my clients' desires, would often agree and give them a tour of the island. Doing these tours, I often received a lot of compliments for my unique and interactive ways of showing them around. From there on, I continued and deepened myself as a tour guide. Whom now I consider myself a flexible, open-minded, interactive, educative, and fun tour guide. Like Alice in her Wonderland, you will find there is even more to see in Curaçao than you have dreamed about. It would be an honor to give you the best experience on the island and teach you some Papiamentu (our native language) 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 (I always go an extra mile for my clients)! Last-minute requests are also welcome - Car Rental owner. - 4 years of tour experience - Pedagogical Degree - (teacher Economics and Administration) - Bachelor in Business Administration - Marketing Management. - Fully vaccinated (two Pfizer shots) - Drivers license B - Able to communicate in 3 different languages, next to our own Papiamentu. - I am not licensed to guide at the ostrich farm due to their regulations. - I am not licensed to guide at the Hato Cave, due to their regulation.

Overview of your Willemstad tour
Does the name of the Liqueur Blue Curacao sound familiar? On this tour, I will show you and tell you the history of our Genuine Blue Curacao located at the Dutch colonial mansion Called Landhuis Chobolobo. You will have the opportunity to taste and buy (if you want) different flavors of Blue Curacao, local souvenirs and alcolado glacial good for refreshing. We will visit Fort Nassau and I will share with you its amazing history. On this spot, I will take some beautiful pictures of you against the tallest bridge in Curacao (Juliana Bridge). In addition, I will show you a hidden part of Otrobanda (our Downton) where the beautiful colorful stairs are located (a great picture opportunity!). You'll learn about the difference between "rich" and "medium" class neighborhoods, both of them with lovely beaches. Finally, off to my favorite spot and the best highlight of Curacao, the 7 Boka National Park where you can see some nice ocean blowholes, the Boka Pistol, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you can't miss!

Raychan was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable of the Curacao. Personal pickup and drop offs were seamless. The personal tours to various locations on the island, especially to Boka National Park will provide lasting memories. Would certainly recommend...strongly considering return to the quaint, beautiful, peaceful island on future winter vacations.

Raychan was a great tour guide. We enjoyed our tour very much. The restaurant he bought us to for lunch was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour.
Mark H.United States
Fantastic Island tour with Raychan! Our group of four had an incredible experience. Raychan was punctual and made finding hem at the cruise port easy by sending a a photo of himself. His Suburban was spacious, clean, and the AC was excellent. He is incredibly knowledgeable and maximized our limited time on the island perfectly. To top it off, he gave us a great dinner recommendation and dropped us right at the door. Highly recommend!

While on a cruise, we went on two other tours on different islands and Raychan’s tour was by far the best. He paid special attention to our safety, his English was excellent and gave lots of good information. I would book with him again.
Deborah H.United States
This tour with Raychan was everything we wanted and more. We learned so much about Curacao and its history and were able to ask all the questions we wanted. Raychan was very kind and making our tour pleasant and informative was his goal. Normally he starts tours in the morning because the itinerary is long. However, our ship did not dock until noon and he was willing to accommodate us by switching around the order of things so we would not miss anything. Our favorite stop was Boca National Park. That was amazing. We also saw a couple different beaches and even sea turtles and flamingos. We enjoyed all the city highlights too. You cannot go wrong if you book this tour with Raychan.
