Excellent way to start our trip. Aloe factory was nice. Ostrich farm was fabulous and our guide made sure we arrived at feeding time which was very cool. Gold mine ruins were fun. Enjoyed seeing the lighthouse. Lovely time. Highly recommend!

Look Elsewhere Pick up instructions were not clear. Said to meet outside terminal main gate at 8:30 - we were at the location by 8:20; driver did not show - called at 8:55 and told they were waiting at ship - nowhere did the instructions say this. We finally met up with the driver and one other couple, Driver was mad and told us to get in - never introduced himself. He was not a tour guide . He talked alittle about his personal life, but gave very little information about the Island or insight on Aruba itself. Basically drove us around to the various stops and left us in our own. Would not recommend. Plenty of others around.
Great focused tour with a lot of bonus short stops and information. The ride was a little rough in some areas because the van rode like a jeep and the terrain in some areas was rough, but that's how it is riding in natural areas. We just didn't think about it in advance. Glad the tour was air condioned, it made a big difference. Really enjoyed the ostrich farm the most and just driving around Aruba seeing it from a local view. I didn't see another tour that included the ostrich farm. This is one of the main reasons I selected this tour. Overall it was worth the money and time and our guide was knowledgeable.
Our guide, Pancho, was an absolute delight! The tour was wonderful. We really got the feeling we saw Aruba… even the off the beaten path spots. Loved the ostrich farm and even the aloe factory was very interesting. Lots of stops for photos! Great day!
Great excursion to do while I'm pregnant, couldn't do the fun adventurous stuff so this was just perfect. AC bus and guided tour seeing the island was amazing :)
We really enjoyed this activity. My favorite was the aloe factory. Pancho was super cool. He was very informative, pleasant and had much patience with us since my husband had an injured knee. It was just the two of us so we felt really comfortable and special. I highly recommend this excursion.
Pancho was a great guide and showed us all the highlights of the island.
Pancho was an excellent guide.! I’m sure we learned things about Aruba that only a native could have shared with us! He was gracious, funny and very committed to making certain we had the best tour!
My husband and I have been to Aruba 20+ times and this was the best tour we have ever been on this island of Aruba. Poncho was our driver and tour guide and he was excellent. We enjoyed every minute of this tour even though we’ve been here many times. Would definitely recommend 💯 percent. My husband took all the pics so I did not download them yet, but will post pics later.
Pancho was amazing!!! Fun, safe, showed us around different places. Thank you so much!!
We had an amazing time with Pancho on this tour! He was so kind to wait for us (we got lost getting to our tour starting point and the company called us and Pancho was able to find us!) He was so knowledgeable, patient, and funny. We saw all the highlights and more (eagle and palm beaches, Beverly Hills of Aruba, authentic Aruban cuisine, and so much more). Given we stayed at the other end of the island, this was an amazing way to see as much as we could in a short amount of time. We cannot thank Pancho enough for his time and thoughtful tour experience!
This tour was one of the best tours my husband and I have ever taken! Pancho was so accommodating and even waited for us after getting lost and being over an hour late for our scheduled tour. Since we stayed at the other end of the island (Secrets Baby Beach) Pancho showed us all the tour highlights and other parts of the island we would have never seen otherwise (Dutch neighborhoods, Eagle and Palm Beaches, hotel row, “the Beverley hills of Aruba”, and local places to eat Aruban cuisine). It was truly a once in a lifetime kind of experience, since we saw so much more than what we expected (and happened to be the only group on tour that day). Thank you, Pancho, for your patience, flexibility, and knowledge of the island! It is such a beautiful place and we are lucky to have visited! With love, Brittany & Tanner
This tour from Kini-Kini Tours utilizes air-conditioned vans that hold about ten people which makes for a streamlined, efficient, and personalized experience. We left at 8:30 and were back at 1:00. It's a dry tour with only beach viewing, no snorkeling. We saw all of the dry highlights including a great Aloe Factory, ostrich farm,, Natural Bridge, a chapel, and lighthouse. We toured some downtown areas of Orangestad. There were tours at the Aloe Factory and ostrich farm which were very good. Our driver was amazing. There are other tours for snorkeling and such, but this is a really good Highlights of Aruba tour!
Rod did a really great job of taking us around the island, and explained the history and culture of Aruba. We really enjoyed his spirit and he made the whole time a lot of fun.
a tour like this is highly dependent on the quality of the tour guide and PANCHO was great. I did a great job of keeping up on track and really getting a sense of the island. Smaller group - no more than 10 which I really liked- well worth the extra 15 or 20 dollars over the large group.
We were a group of seven and took a 5 hour tour which stopped at three beaches: Arashi, Palm and Baby Beach. Our driver, Marwin was a great dirver and guide. Would highly recommend Kini and Kini and the driver Marwin.
pancho was great very friendly and informative, would recommend highly . we saw things we had not seen before loved mango halto beach,
This is a great tour to see all the highlights of Aruba. It was a fun full half day tour. We did this tour as a shore excursion. We were picked up at our ship. Our driver was very informative and funny. The van was brand new and there was ample leg room. We got to see plenty of flamingos at the national park. We went to the Ostrich farm and were there for first feeding. Next stop was the Aloe factory for a tour of the farm and factory, which was very interesting. The demonstrator and the guide were extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions. We did go home with a lot of Aloe products. We also went to the Natural bridge; church on top of the hill and the lighthouse. We spent time at each stop. Definitely some good Kodak moments at each stop. A tour not to be missed if in Aruba for a short period of time.
Pancho was amazing! Very nice and answered every question. Gave us so much information about the sights plus pieces of history on the route. Easy pick up from our hotel, easy on/off mini bus. Never felt rushed everything was tranquillo!!
Our driver, Pancho, was great! Very very nice, personable, and shared a lot of interesting information while driving us all around the island. We enjoyed the individual tours and stops along the way as well… it gave us a really good feel for the history and present day Aruba, beyond the sandy beach resorts.
Pancho gave an amazing tour of Aruba. We saw all the main highlights and I love bed the little cal facts that he shared. He even recommended a great lunch place for us.
Alvin was our driver and tour guide and was truly fantastic. We ended up requesting him for all of our transportation if he was available. He grew up on the island and was a wealth of information. Wonderful person!
Pancho was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. We thoroughly enjoyed the day - it was a great way to see the sites :)
We were at the meeting point at the appointed time. No tour operator to be found. 30 minutes later and with help from another tour operator a gentleman picked us up and took us to the place where we supposedly were to be. Then we were transported to another place where we were united with others to start the tour Al ost 30 minutes late. The bus was old and dirty. We were taken to an ostrich farm that was not indicated on the original tour description and was not a hood use of time. The guide said nothing who,e we were taken from place to place about the island, history etc. I would not recommend this tour!
Alvin was awesome!! He gave us a great tour, super friendly, lots of history and laughs. In addition to our tour we were able to have him for our transfers to/from the airport and dinner- by the end of the trip we can’t wait to come back!
Great little tour. Our Driver Pancho was very entertaining and enthusiastic. Good value. The van was comfortable and cool.
Not informed of correct meeting place. Driver wasn’t given our cruise ship. Our meeting point and time changed last minute. Driver sped over speed bumps to find us.
We had an amazing time! Nahym was super energetic and never failed to make us laugh throughout the whole tour. Extremely informational and interesting learning about the history of the island, with breathtaking views. Kini Kini services never disappoint; always on time, clean, professional and safe! We'll definitely book with them again.
The company that we used on the the Aruba excursion was not good at all. The driver never explained any sites we visited. He only gave us 15 minutes at each stop. He let us out and that's it. He never spoke to the group as approached our destination. He talked to my cousin and she would holler back and tell us what information she got of of him. I didn't learn anything about Aruba like I thought we would except for the church that he told the passenger up front and she yelled back at us. I have used Viator many times and they have been great but the company that they used for our tour to learn about Aruba was completely unacceptable.
This was a great tour to see many interesting places. While you don’t have a lot of time at each spot, it felt like enough. I did not feel overly rushed. I really loved the beauty of the natural bridge area with the rocks and the crashing sea. That was a fun photo spot. And Pancho has a great personality which made the adventure more enjoyable.
We had a wonderful introduction to Aruba touring the highlights with Poncho as our guide. It was fun getting the lay of the island at the beginning of our vacation. Highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful day touring the island with Pancho! We had a group of 12 people ranging in age from 8-80. Everyone had a great time. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the island and some of its important attractions.
No text no email about the time when they picking us up. Then they showed up at 8:20 when email said 9 am. I’ve been booking with Viator for 5 years and tour operator always contact via what’s app the day before to confirm times but this on never did and we never made it to the tour as we were expecting to be picked up at 9 as it said on the ticket. No refund was given upon requesting.
Each stop was very nice. The presentation at the aloe factory was entertaining. The ostrich farm was interesting, and it was fun to feed the ostriches. The stops along the coast were beautiful. Pedro took good care of us and kept us on track. The pace was nice. I would have liked a little more narration. Four stars instead of five because we were told that someone would be inside the cruise terminal with a sign. That didn’t happen. My husband regularly checked outside while I waited inside. After we saw two f the vans park, waited for the driver a bit and then approached the vans. Didn’t spot the driver. Approached again and the other driver contacted the office Our driver appeared immediately and took us to the office. We switched vans and were on our way. Things went smoothly from that point, though we did have a small issue with seatbelts. They were stuck and unusable . We informed Pedro at the first stop, and he took care of it. Like I said, Pedro took care of us.
Great highlight tour of the island. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgable of the island and its history.
What a great tour! Our tour guide Pancho was excellent; and so knowledgeable about Aruba! Highly recommend!
It was great. Our tour guide Pancho was amazing. Took us all over the island. Enjoyed the many stops & learning about Aruba.
Great variety of sight & experiences. Pancho was very courteous and knowledgeable. Great value and was back to our hotel by 1:30.
The tour was perfect for giving us a glimpse of Aruba. The guide, Pancho, was friendly and knowledgeable.
We were a small group only 3 couples. Our tour guide Pancho explained to us our itinerary and he took us to all sites we were supposed to visit. He drove us to "Beverley Hills" of Aruba and showed us the neighborhood with houses painted different color. He answered every question we had. I would strongly recommend to take this tour.
Pancho was the best tour guide. Very personable and knowledgeable about the areas we visited. His jokes were definitely the highlight of the tour!
Poncho is fabulous. Knowledgeable, good driver, and great sense of humor, knows how to keep things on schedule
There is a reason we chose to go on a trip with a guide. To be guided. To learn more about Aruba. We did not really get that. We hit all the right spots (although constantly being told we need to hurry up) but our tour guide told us next to nothing about Aruba or the sites. No background on where we arrived. No pointing out unique spots or history. Literally nothing but “This is ____, you have 15 mins”. We could have rented a car and drove around our selves for much cheaper. And it was not just us. The couple sitting behind us was feeling the same way. This was a driver, not a guided experience.
The worst land tour ever. The “so called” guide imparted zero information about the island. When he DID speak, we could not hear a thing as there was no microphone and we were in the last row. What a waste of time and money
Since this was our first visit to Aruba, we wanted to take a tour of the island. We were so glad to take the Highlights of Aruba tour with Pancho! He was an amazing guide! Very friendly and informative. During our tour, we were able to visit the Aloe Factory, Ostrich Farm, Natural Bridge, Alto Vista Chapel and Lighthouse. We were also able to drive past a few of Aruba's most beautiful beaches. I highly recommend this tour to others that would like to explore this Island Gem!
This was our first time to Aruba and this was a fabulous way to experience and see the island! Pancho was our tour guide, he was very friendly and informative. We were able to visit the Aloe Factory, Ostrich Farm, Natural Bridge, Alto Vista Chapel and the Lighthouse. While driving us around, he also explained the history of the various areas we saw. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore this beautiful island!
Our tour guide was fantastic! We had members of our family that had mobility issues and he was wonderful to help us in and out of the vehicle and deal with our rollators. Having a guide who was a local makes a huge difference. My husband and I will be back in 3 years for a week in Aruba and we plan to use this company again. Highly, highly recommend!!
Four Hour tour that touched on all the highlights. All the historical sites. Small group of 9 people. Visit to the Aloe factory and store was amazing. High light of the trip was a visit to the Osterich fair. Poncho was our tour guide and he went above and beyond,
Our tour guide Pancho was terrific! He was very friendly and informative. We loved learning about the island and we had a great time at the Aloe Factory and the Ostrich Farm.
It's a very good way to see the island and a variety of attractions..Pancho is a great tour guide, we enjoyed the smaller van with a group of folks getting on and off.
