Jeff’s half day tour of Aruba was fantastic! - This was a great tour of Aruba! Jeff was a fabulous tour guide! It’s really clear how much he loves his island. He doesn’t cancel no matter how many book his tour on any given day…the two of us were the only ones on the tour and he tailored the day to things we wanted to see and do. We saw most of the things listed in the tour originally but did swap out the donkey sanctuary for another side of the island and the beautiful Baby Beach! The colors of the water there were some of the prettiest shades of blue around! We ended up spending time at another beach there (Eagle Beach, which was closer to the port). Jeff was packed with knowledge about Aruba and it was great learning all about the island. He stopped at a local bakery and bought us one of Aruba’s delicious cheese pies. We were able to see Aruba’s synagogue at our request too. This is a great tour due to its mix of culture, sightseeing, beach fun and a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. You won’t be disappointed with Jeff and his tour!

Real Arubian Experience! - We went as a family of four adults. Jeff was so knowledgeable, so enthusiastic, so proud of Aruba and Arubians. The Aloe farm and factory was fascinating, the donkey sanctuary was a delight, and the archaeological museum will definitely warrant a return visit. Jeff showed us the true colour and flavour of life in Aruba!

Exceptional Experience with Great Guide - We had an exceptional experience with Jeff Classic Tours on our recent visit to Aruba. Jeff was punctual, courteous, and incredibly helpful, which made a big difference as both my husband and his sister-in-law use walkers. Jeff’s kindness and attentiveness allowed us all to feel comfortable throughout the tour.
Jeff provided us with bottled water and introduced us to Pastechi, a delicious local snack—a deep-fried pastry filled with cheese, chicken, or beef. Tasting Aruba’s national snack was a nice touch, adding to the authenticity of the experience.
The tour included several fascinating stops, beginning with the National Archives, where Jeff guided us through Aruba’s rich history. The archives housed a wonderful collection of photographs, capturing the island’s journey over the years. Our next stop, the National Archaeological Museum, was equally engaging. Jeff’s enthusiasm shone through as he shared his knowledge of the exhibits, particularly because he’s a collector himself and regularly attends talks here to stay informed on local developments.
We then visited the Aloe Aruba factory, where we learned about the production of Aruba’s famed aloe products. The tour was informative, and we couldn’t resist picking up a few items from the shop!
Typically, Jeff’s tour includes a donkey sanctuary, but since we’d just visited one on Grand Turk, we asked to go to the Butterfly Sanctuary instead. Jeff kindly accommodated our request, and we paid our own entrance fee since it wasn’t part of the tour. The sanctuary was delightful, filled with butterflies that fluttered around us, and we enjoyed a short talk on their lifecycle.
Jeff’s warmth, knowledge, and flexibility made this one of the best shore excursions we’ve had. I highly recommend Jeff Classic Tours for anyone visiting Aruba!

Unique. - It was a unique tour! One couple, myself and , of course, Jeff. Been coming to Aruba for 21 years and never had a tour like this! Jeff is full of knowledge and personality. We went to some of the planned places, but Jeff let us change our course. Saw places I had never seen. Thanks, Jeff!

Fantastic - Jeff is AMAZING!! He definitely is the heart of Aruba. My wife and I were the only booked tour for that day and Jeff treated us like family. His vibe and energy is contagious. If you want the authentic Aruba tour, please please please book Jeff. We learned so much about the Aruabian way of life and culture. Jeff loves to dance so come with your best dance move. Lol. Thank you Jeff, you are AWESOME!!

Great Tour in Aruba - Jeff was an amazing tour guide!! He picked us up promptly at the cruise port and took us on such a fun adventure. We toured the Aloe farm, got some delicious treats, looked around town as he told us about the history of Aruba, spent time at the donkey sanctuary, toured the rum factory, and ended the day at the chapel overlooking the ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and Jeff was so pleasant to be with during our time together. When the tour ended we asked him to take us to the beach where we could easily make our way back to the ship. He was good to help us out and made sure we knew what to do to get back to our ship on time. We would 100% encourage you to book this tour. We had so much fun!!

The Best Tour for an Authentic Experience of Aruba - My family went on vacation to Aruba. I booked this tour because it seemed to touch on various areas in Aruba that would allow for an authentic experience - Jeff did not disappoint! Our group of 4 happened to be the only people booked for our tour date, and Jeff showed us so many places all over the island and provided so much information and backstory to things that I feel confident in relaying information to others about Aruba's history, and if I never visited again, I know that I've experienced a good bit of Aruba already. We visited touristy areas, a rum tasting, the National Archives, local markets, eateries (Jeff got us meat/veggie patties), the Aloe Factory, east-side residential areas, shrines, one of the last original mud houses in Aruba, different beaches...and we even learned some Papiamento language! I highly recommend touring with Jeff because, as a lifelong citizen, he knows his country well and is vested in its success, evidenced by his engagement and contributions to the Archives, his relationships with fellow business owners/citizens/authorities, and his infectious positivity. Jeff is an extremely genuine and humble man who loves what he does and his country. Thank you, Jeff, for such an amazing and unforgettable experience!
