Aruba tour bus with Jay from De Palm tours - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Jay, our bus driver and tour guide from De Palm Tours in Aruba! From the moment we got on the bus, Jay kept the entire group entertained with his great sense of humor, quick wit, and warm personality. He had us laughing the whole way—his jokes and stories made the trip both fun and unforgettable!
Not only is Jay incredibly funny, but he’s also very knowledgeable. He shared so much about Aruba’s history, culture, landmarks, and even fun local facts that really brought the island to life. You can tell he truly loves what he does and takes pride in showing off his beautiful island.
We were also impressed by Jay’s patience and professionalism. He handled the group with ease, gave everyone personal attention, and made sure we all felt comfortable and included—no matter how many questions we had or how many photo stops we requested!
Jay made our tour one of the best parts of our trip to Aruba. If you’re booking a tour with De Palm, ask for Jay—you won’t regret it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a phenomenal all... - This was a phenomenal all day tour highlighting the best of Aruba. Earnie, the tour conductor is a gem. He has considerable knowledge of the history and culture of Aruba with a wonderful personality. He was also helpful to my sister who had difficulty walking. He carried the wheelchair on the tour and also carried my sister to the bus after her experiencing the beauty of Baby Beach. Thank you for your kindness and compassion.

Best bus tour - My family and I celebrated my sister-in-law’s birthday in Aruba. We enjoyed the Best of Aruba bus tour. We were given a bit of history while being entertained by our tour guide, Donald. He was very kind and knowledgeable. He even asked the entire group to sing the birthday song. We had a great time!!

Ask for Luis! - My whole family thoroughly enjoyed the Aruba by Bus Tour, even my 20 year old, who didn’t want to spend a full day in Aruba on a bus!! That’s because our tour guide, Luis in Bus #175, made the day very enjoyable with his knowledge of the island & his humor!! It was our first trip to the island & a great way to see Aruba since we didn’t rent a car. Highly recommend this tour & Luis!! The bus is air conditioned & comfortable and the day included a great lunch, too, so it was money well spent!

The Aruba experience with Richard - This tour gave a great overview of Aruba. Richard (bus 5) was a wonderful tour guide!! He even gave the tour in both English and Spanish!! Aruba may be small but it has many different looks. With the rugged east coast to the sandy beaches of the west coast. The glass blowing demo and then a delicious lunch was so nice! The swim/snorkel time at Baby beach was a great finish. Richard (bus 5) paced the day very well. We would highly recommend this tour with Richard (bus 5)! <3 <3

Update Itinerary and What Is Included !!!!!! - This was a nice tour - overall!!!!! My complaint is that the itinerary description is not accurate. The description states that the tour starts with a 15 minute walking tour of downtown - NO SUCH STOP and no information about downtown!!!! People select tours based on the stated itinerary!!!!!
The included lunch was at the Natural Bridge and the plate looked beautiful and was generous but the BBQ was too tough- not edible tough - this was not only my feeling but the general consensus. If they simply steam the BBQ on low for a few hours, it would fall off the bone.
The tour description stated snorkel gear would be provided but the tour operator told us only one piece would be provided and we would have to rent a complete set but I didn't see any snorkel gear offered.
The tour went to a glass blowing factory, which was OK but not stated in the itinerary.
The tour driver, Uri, was great!

Bus broke - The tour started well. Our guide Donny was great. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and pleasant. I was disappointed that when the AC quit and our tour was cut short. The company had a replacement quickly, but we missed a bit due to time and this bus was dirty. There were open drinks on cup holders, and snack wrappers strewn about. I think they could have done better.

Poor attention from Palm tours call center - Today, March 1st we took the Aruba Sightseeing Tour, however we were sent on a tour in English. The worst thing was that in the museum and in all the explanation of the tours was in English and we spoke Spanish.
We called the office and were not given a solution, my family and I wanted to return to the hotel for other activities, however the Palm tours agency told us we could leave by taxi but on our own. In other words we are obliged to finish the tour in English, when we could use the time in other activities than if they speak our language. All the way we spent sleeping and yes. Understand anything. What a cruelty indeed. I do not recommend this agency, however the bus driver tried to find the solution. But even his own boss told him that we have to continue on the tours and if we want to leave it would have to be on our own
