Our experience with Jason Bird was absolutely amazing! He picked my family up from our resort right on time and immediately made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Jason didn’t just drive us around Aruba — he gave us a true experience. He shared the history of Aruba, stories about his family and culture, and took us to O’Neil’s Caribbean Kitchen on the other side of the island. Along the way, he pointed out the beautiful artwork, local spots, and even the amazing smoothie place across from the restaurant. What made the experience so special was getting to see Aruba through Jason’s eyes. He shared pieces of his childhood and introduced us to places and stories that made Aruba feel like a true home away from home. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. If you’re visiting Aruba and looking for a VIP driver and tour guide who genuinely cares about giving you an authentic experience, I highly, highly recommend Jason Bird! You won’t be disappointed!

This tour made our vacation! We learnt about the island’s history and present day, saw amazing sites, and loved our tour guide, Gabriel. A MUST do when in Aruba! Gabriel was so kind and took photos for us at each location. His love for his country brought it even more to life and made the experience more vibrant as we travelled to various points of interest and artistic expression. I would suggest to book a private tour. Gabriel had 6 stops for us and as we were just a party of 2, he made the experience incredibly personal and allowed us to take our time at each location. I would also recommend asking for Gabriel as your guide. He was incredibly funny, polite, and knowledgable. Because it was just my mum and I, it almost felt like we were just hanging out with Gabriel because of how relaxed and funny he is. It was like traveling with a close friend who knows everything about the island. I would say that the Kini Kini tour is a must-do. My mum and I visited Aruba after hearing so many good friends tell us stories about how much they love the island but none had taken any tours despite visiting multiple times. To my surprise, my friends were asking me about the entire tour and what we did/where we went when I returned home. Honestly, this will be the highlight of your vacation. The tour is intimate and open to questions about the island and even after a half-day of touring, I’ll still book with Kini Kini when I visit next to explore more parts of the island. Overall, the experience was a 10 out of 10 and the highlight of our 7-day girls’ trip. We got to experience Aruba for Aruba with someone who is passionate about their country. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Thank you Gabriel for the incredible experience and the banter! You truly embodied the life of Aruba through the whole tour and we couldn’t be more grateful. See you all at Kini Kini next year for our second trip to the island! -Tabitha and Miss Jane
Amazing tour and our guide Pancho was super friendly! We went to Philip’s Animal Farm, a Morano Glass Blowing Studio to watch a demonstration from expert Venice, Italy artists on how to do glass blowing art where they made a sea turtle out of glass, we explored the scenic view of caves near the famous Red Hook on the opposite side of the island in San Nicholas, took pictures of the beautiful murals in San Nicholas, went to the Aloe Factory, and also took in the beautiful scenery of Mangel Halto beach. This is an excellent tour for anyone such as singles, families, and retirees!
Naheem is the best. Love Ms.Ann
It was a wonderful experience and we learned a lot about this wonderful island and it was a true education
We enjoyed this awesome tour very much! We saw everything listed on the itinerary plus MORE!! Poncho was the BEST tour guide we've ever had. He was so friendly, professional and very accommodating to our requests. He shared alot of knowledge with my husband and I at every site we visited. Even took us the aloe factory which was very interesting and we enjoyed swimming at Baby Beach!! Many thanks to our guide...PONCHO!! Fantastic experience!
Travel agent booked this tour for my husband and I while we were in Aruba! Pancho was an amazing tour guide that truly enjoys what he does! This was our first trip to Aruba and it was amazing!
We had a blast and we had the best tour guide ever! I think his name was Rasta! First time in Aruba and definitely want be the last! The other tour guide was awesome as well and very patient! See you guys soon
Our driver picked us up and energy never stopped a beat. We visited beautiful murals which were painted on the wall where we took many pictures. We drove from one end of the island to the other over many hills taking thousands of pics Our tour guide was really friendly,polite and knowledgeable Keep up the great work
The tour was awesome. We were able to see beautiful murals, breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding areas. Great tour guide.
Took the half day tour of Aruba with "Pancho". He was fantastic and we learned so much. He answered every question we had. Cruise ship guests joined us and the fun began: ostrich farm, lighthouse, chapel, natural bridge, aloe farm etc. Learned about the eco friendly island, desalinization, transfer station, local neighborhoods, schools, markets, government, and the future of this beautiful island.
We hired a private driver for 6 hours for a group of 8. Well worth it!! Jersey took us to beaches all over the island and told stories along the way. Was such an awesome day, This is the way to go! We have used Kini Kini for this and for airport transfers and they are the absolute best on the island.
Every time I go to Aruba I go out with Kini Kini. Mi Ruman was out of town so I went out with my homie Nayhm. It's crazy to have been in Aruba so many times and to still experience new things and new places. The murals in San Nicholas are unbelievable and he actually took me places I hadn't been before, well played Nahym. Had such a great time that I went out again in a group on Humpday and man, so fun. The energy of the group was amazing and Nayhm puts on a show. The beauty of the island is unmatched and the patience the guides have making sure everyone is ok and having a good time is unmatched. The difference that makes the difference with Kini Kini is that they not only care as a company, but their employees love what they do and it shows. They treat their customers like family and it's all love. Thank you Kini Kini, and shot out to Randy keeping everyone in line and making sure no one gets left behind... I'm be back end of December to celebrate New Years and I'll be going out with Kini Kini again. WB
These are usually made good or bad with the tour guide . Gabriel went above and beyond. He was very knowledgeable and funny , very polite . I would request Gabriel if I were to book this tour
My wife and I visited Aruba for our Honeymoon! Needless to say the island is beautiful but the Kini Kini Art and Culture tour was easily one of the best parts! Our tour guide, Stewart, was so unbelievably friendly, knowledgeable, and overall fun to spend the morning with! We saw so much of Aruba which was great for us first timers, we highly highly HIGHLY recommend this tour, and if you can get Stewart as your guide, you will certainly be in for a great time!
Nahym and mryon took our whole family on a fantastic atv adventure. These tour guides are like family! They take great pride in their work and take additional time with anyone that has questions or needs help. They have a super knowledge of the island and it's history. You will definitely have tons of fun and experience some of the most beautiful sights on the island! Thank you from our family!
We loved learning about Aruban culture & art from a life-long native! He shared some hidden gems that enhanced the tour!
Gabriel was an amazing tour guide. We saw many local areas and the beautiful artwork in St. Nicholas. The beaches were beautiful. Our guide was very accommodating and gave us a lot of information. It was the best tour we did in Aruba!
We booked this with Kini Tours and our guide was Gabriel. He picked us up 5 minutes early and from the moment he welcomed us we were more in love with the Aruba Island. His knowledge and interaction with us was outstanding
Very good experience I recommend this tour. Excellent tour guide.nothing more to say I've said enough
We spent a few days on the island and did multiple tours with different companies but this one was my favorite. Gabriel, our tour guide was knowledgeable, fun, and personable and made our experience feel authentic. Book this tour if you want a mix of local off the beaten path experiences mixed with some touristy places like Baby Beach (the water looks like an Instagram filter naturally). Overall I appreciate this smaller tour company, the experiences they created, and our awesome tour guide, Gabriel.
My husband and I had a wonderful tour with a knowledgeable guide. It was extremely warm and Gabriel was very attentive to keeping us cool while showing us the “real” Aruba. We would recommend them to anyone.
Gabriel was an awsome tour guide. Very positive, passionate, jovial, made the trip fun!! He was very informative in regards to art and culture. Took us to baby beach also, very fantastic experience
Our tour operator Nyhem was so informative and helpful. He really enjoys what he does and it shows. We have been coming to Aruba for many years, but I saw things that I had never seen before. Highly recommend this tour!!
What a wonderful and cultural experience!! This tour was so creative and extremely fun. We were able to take pictures while learning about all the beautiful artists in Aruba. Along with the art tour, we explored some absolutely beautiful beaches. This was such a unique experience and would highly recommend this tour!
This was a fun filled tour. Our guide Nyeem was beyond awesome !!!! So much beautiful art and the history behind it !!!! Would recommend this to anyone going to Aruba!!! Working with Kini Kini was such a pleasure 👍.
A very informative and fun tour of the art and culture of the island. Our tour guide Nyeem was the best and very informative.
Best private tour guide. Nahym was a kind and super fun professional guide. We had a very good time with him. Thank you for all. Giorgio e Sara.
Nahim was excellent- very informative and fun tour- enough time and the murals were an interesting local sight- seeing the island and housing added to a better understanding of the island
Murals in Dan Nicolas- seeing baby beach - and guide’s commentary- he answered all our questions so well- Nahim!! seeing the island and learning about the island
We had a great time with Pancho! It turned out to be a private tour for just our family of 4 and we loved every minute of it! Pancho was great! We loved taking the back roads and getting to see what life in Aruba is like. We got to take in every stop at our own pace and Pancho got us back to our hotel at almost exactly 1PM! We would definitely recommend this tour and when we come back we will be looking forward to more adventures with Pancho!
Nahim was engaging and gave a very informative tour. He showed us all about Aruba from its beginning until present times.
Nyham did a great job and we will definitely want him whenever we visit for touring. We appreciate the picking up and dropping off.
The experience was the best, Pancho took us to various places and showed us the best places to take pictures. Thank you for all the attentions you gave us. Go on this tour and ask Pancho, I recommend!
Super punctual company, answer questions quickly! Tour was good, we passed all the points informed, expected more time and information in SAN Nicolas, was only a few places for photo, as compensation we stayed 1:30 in baby beach
