"Bon Bini" (Welcome) ! My name is Bigala, I've been a tour guide for 10 years, so I have lots of experience! I was born and raised on the island of Curaçao. Curaçao is listed on the Unesco World Heritage list, because of it's historical monuments, European- caribbean architecture, especially 17th century. Curaçao also has a rich culture with Dutch, African, Spanish, Portugese and French influences. My passion is to show and share the beautiful sides of the island. You will love the nature, culture, architecture and our history. I feel blessed to be able to show you around and share as much as possible about the island. You're more than welcome, looking forward to meeting you! Courses: "Jewish Heritage Tour Guide" - Mikvé Israel Emanuel Synagogue "Curaçao Host"- Curaçao Tourist Board "Safety rules for travelling on the road" ( Veilig verkeer) - VVV Award: "Sworn Tourist Guide Area Specific Interpreter", by Curaçao Tourist Board I am learning German and French, I hope to offer tours in these languages in the future.
