Costumizable East To West Curaçao Island Tour Experience

Ralph was our tour guide. He was wonderful. For over 5 hours he took us all around Curaçao. We went by his expertise and customized our tour with places we wanted to see. We saw turtles swimming and flamingos in the water. Ralph was friendly and caring that we were enjoying our tour. Ask for him when you go to Curacao. You won't be disappointed.

We booked Ralph last minute as a tour guide on a cruise trip to Curaçao. He was referred to us by a service that was already booked but was extremely responsive to WhatsApp messages, on-time and more affordable than most excursions. He was accommodating, knowledgeable and charismatic the entire time. We chose our own points of interest and he made it work seamlessly and even joined us so there weren’t any hiccups or issues with communication. Thank you for the great time, Ralph!

We had the best day exploring Curaçao thanks to Ralph and Curaçao VIP Tour Guide & Taxi 160. From the moment we booked, communication was seamless and professional. Ralph is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted to see. Every stop was well-paced and never rushed. Ralph shared so much great info about the island’s history and culture, and made the whole experience comfortable. The van was clean and air-conditioned, and we felt completely taken care of all day. Ralph was also incredibly patient and accommodating with our three-year-old. He gave us plenty of time to install our car seat and made sure we were all comfortable before heading out. Very family-friendly! If you want a relaxed, personal, and memorable way to see Curaçao, this is it. Don’t think twice, book this tour!

We had an unforgettable day exploring Curaçao with our kids thanks to Ralph – hands down the best tour guide you could hope for. His deep knowledge of the island’s history, nature, and culture added so much richness to our experience, and the customized itinerary he crafted was truly exceptional. Ralph helped us completely avoid the cruise ship crowds and led us to hidden gems across the island. From spotting flamingoes and turtles in their natural sanctuary, swimming in the turquoise waters of Grote Knip, to enjoying a delicious lunch with a million-dollar, unobstructed view of the Caribbean Sea – every moment was thoughtfully planned and perfectly timed. The visit to the distillery, complete with a tasting and stories only a true local could share, was another standout. Ralph’s generosity with his insider knowledge and genuine love for Curaçao made us fall in love with the island too. If you’re cruising or staying on the island, do yourself a favor and book a private tour with Ralph. It’s the ultimate way to experience Curaçao — the way it should be seen. Skip the crowds, discover the heart of the island, and enjoy a day you’ll never forget.

My friends and I booked Ralph for a half day customized tour in March, 2025. He is dependable, welcoming and we felt very comfortable. Ralph shared his knowledge about the island, culture and so much more. We found him so delightful we booked him for another half day tour! He was always very accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we were able to see everything on our wish list. We were able to visit a couple of great beaches, with many stops along the way. (Including a stop at a local church and an "emergency" stop for an extra "souvenir" suitcase lol). We were able to see the pigs/piglets, flamingos, sea turtles, chickens and even a few goats. Thank you Ralph for making our trip so memorable! I would absolutely 100% recommend Ralph, you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I booked a tour with Ralph to explore Curacao. He took us to some really amazing spots. We had a great time. If you’re planning to explore Curacao, Ralph is your guy. Definitely reccomend him.

Ralph was exceptional. Knowledgeable, courteous and fun. He is both a driver and a guide. No need to look any further than him.

Ralph was an incredible tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We had booked the west end tour, however, he made sure we saw EVERYTHING we wanted to see.

Ralph was the perfect tour guide. He was very knowable about the area and also accommodating to our desire to take it slow. We saw everything we hoped to see and more. It was like touring with a friend.

We booked Ralph from Inception and his communication is what made me feel comfortable and safe at all times,when we Arrived to Curacuo he’s was on time and welcomed us with a welcoming spirit,he drove us around before taking us to our designated stop without an extra charge,that was a plus for me. We continue to book with him for our tours and he was always on Time and served us well,would definitely book with him again or recommend anyone to choose taxi 160. 100/10 Highly Recommend.

Ralph was an amazing guide!! My sisters and I enjoyed his tour immensely! He was very knowledgeable about the island and the pace of the tour was great. Would definitely recommend him!!

Ralph is great! I booked the tour for my mom and her sisters, and they loved it! Ralph was awesome, knew his history, and very professional. You can customize the trip to what you’d like to visit, so overall, Ralph is someone you should book with to tour the great country of Curaçao!

The tour was amazing and we got to see so much. Amazing information from our guide, Ralph. Tour was great for couple or small group. Highly recommend!

The driver Ralph was extremely knowledgeable and really gave me a lot of insight and information about the island history a customs. We saw the beautiful downtown area and the distillery and many other amazing sites on the island. I really had a great time touring with Ralph. Looking forward to coming back to Curacao.

What a GREAT experience with Ralph….he customized our tour to our requested spots we wanted to visit! He was very knowledgeable and informative…we would definitely recommend booking a tour with him!

What a wonderful day with Ralph. He is such a delightful, funny and considerate person. We were able to choose whatever we would like to do but I highly recommend seeking his input. His knowledge of the island was incredible and you could tell how well respected he was by the folks we met. Knowing I had a fish allergy he was super careful to ensure everything I ate was safe. We had requested to try the local cuisine and we were not disappointed. He was also super considerate of my sensitivity to the sun ensuring to find spots with shade each place we stopped. His car was super comfortable and the air conditioning was great. We saw the flamingos, turtles, national park and some of the oldest homes from the sad days of slavery, as well as, many sites in Williamstad just to list a few. We really can’t recommend Ralph enough. It was truly the highlight of our time in Curacao. Ralph we will see you next time! Thank you for the most amazing time Adrienne and Robin Toronto, Canada

This was the best tour my husband and I have ever had. Ralph is an absolutely delightful and funny human. He let us help guide wherever we wanted to go. He was incredibly considerate kind and had tremendous knowledge of the island. You could see by all the folks we met how well respected he was on the island. We went for local food and knowing I was allergic to fish, he made sure everything was safe for me to eat. We went to the national park among various other stops including the flamingos and sea turtles. He made sure to pick places with shade knowing I was super sensitive to sun. I can not recommend him strongly enough. My husband was equally impressed. His car was super comfortable and of course the air conditioning was wonderful in between stops. What a fantastic way to see the island. Ralph thank you! We can’t wait to see you next time. Robin and Adrienne Toronto, Canada

We did a private drive around tour with Ralph and we're very happy with our day! Curacao was absolutely stunning and what made it extra special was Ralph's commitment to making it a memorable day for us. He showed us the sights across the length and breadth of the island as well as a tour of gorgeous Willemstad. More than anything Ralph's attention to detail was a delight. Apart from the icy cold bottles of water, he had wet wipes for our dripping brows as well as internet in his spacious and comfy car. Ralph was informative, attentive and accomodating and made Curacao special for us. Many thanks Ralph!

We spent the day with Ralph exploring the island. He was very willing to accommodate our requests. We enjoyed learning about the history and culture of Curaçao. And lunch was fantastic! Thank you Ralph!

George is amazing! He gave of a very informative, comprehensive tour of his home. His depth of history was impressive.

Great for families because you are in control of where you go and when you stop for bathroom breaks, snacks, etc. the vehicle had plenty of room for 2 parents and 2 kids. Ralph was very knowledgeable of all the history and other things about the island.

What a great tour. He was very accommodating, on time and full of information. Would highly recommend this tour of the island.

We had wonderful day with Ralph, he is excellent and knowledgeable licensed Tour guide and a Taxi driver. He picked us up on time and at the end even went over the 6 hours. His car was very comfortable and clean. His recommendation for lunch was great and the view was amazing. He asked us what we were interested at and then planned the day for us. Curaçao turned out to be a great stop for us thanks to Ralph

We had a great day with Ralph on our private tour. All the stops were informative and Ralph was a great host. The turtles and flamingoes were great to see, and we loved hearing about the history of the island. All our communication was good and we would definitely recommend.

Ralph was an excellent tour guide!! We went with my mom who has mobility issues. We were able to go to the Jewish synagogue and the mangrove park with her. She was able to get in and out of the car nicely and we folded her scooter in the back. We had to drop her off after the first two activities, Ralph was super understanding and accommodating. Then we went to two other beaches (Kokomo and Blue Bay), saw flamingos, fort Nassau where we took beautiful pictures, and curaçao liqueur distillery. Ralph was kind, knowledgeable, funny, and made the trip fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

My mom and I had an amazing day in Curaçao with Ralph as our guide! My mom uses a wheelchair that was stored carefully in the trunk and Ralph was very conscientious about making sure mom had good views of sites when she chose to stay in the car and he was wonderful with helping her throughout our tour at the sites where she did get out to get an up close view of things. We got to visit all the places on our “must see” list as well as a few hidden gems of the island that most non-locals don’t get to see. We’ve been to Curaçao many times and thought we had seen it all — we learned we didn’t even scratch the surface with those other visits. Some practical notes: Ralph is an excellent guide, he’s a great communicator - all through the booking and meeting up process, and during and after the tour, his taxi is super clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning in the taxi cooled us down after each stop under the warm Curaçao sun. I strongly recommend booking this private tour. I know we will book again the next time we are in Curaçao.

Ralph was very friendly, professional, and informative. Two adults on this private trip enjoyed the scenery, the history, and the comfortable ride at our leisure. I recommend this to anyone who is making a trip to Curacao. It was a much better experience than the large buses with lots of passengers from the cruise ship.

Ralph was an excellent Tour Guide and representative of Curaçao. From before our arrival, Ralph was communicative and responsive. Once there, he fully engaged with us to personalize our tour to our interests. He was friendly, knowledgeable and offered us the opportunity to enjoy the island highlights with insights into the local history and things that otherwise would be overlooked by us. While we know that he knew the island thoroughly he approached our stops with an attitude that enabled our excitement to be shared. We highly recommend Ralph to other Curaçao visitors and hope to call upon him for future visits too.

Thanks Ralph! What a great way to see the island. Love having someone drive who knows the island, knows the history and knows how to laugh along the way. This isn’t our first time spending time with Ralph and it won’t be our last. I highly recommend you hire Curaçao VIP Tour Guide & Taxi 160 when you visit this beautiful island. If you’re just stopping by for the day or spending the week Ralph can help you find your way around.

First of all, quit messing around with any other company when booking a tour around Curacao. Ralph is an utmost professional that is absolutely committed to your experience here on his beautiful island. Plan to be able to see a lot of the island. We booked an 8 hour tour with him and he made our experience perfect! He was very respectful in asking for our permission to use photos and helped us curate our experience. We were taken all over Curacao and he even watched our belongings when we went snorkeling with turtles. If you are visiting here on a cruise, like we did, I would tell you now - skip any of the excursions and go straight to ralph. Your money will be much better spent with him in a VIP small group experience. In total, we spent about the same as an all day cruise sponsored excursion for four people (2 Couples) with ralph and definitely feel like our money went further. He has been very easy to work with and responded to our whatsapp conversation very promptly. We never felt like we were in the dark with him. We cannot recommend Ralph enough.

Ralph does a great job making your experience fun. He is full of information and does a great job customizing the tour to your interests and preferences.

A great day spent with Ralph! He was fun and flexible, took us to every spot we wanted to see. Very thorough and lots of local knowledge

Our guide was sensitive to what we enjoyed and worked very hard to incorporate these venues into our day. He, Ralph Luidens, was excellent in both his knowledge and ability to communicate all to the three of us. In short, ask for Ralph if you're about to book a tour! You won't regret it!

This was by far the best experience and tour of Curacao. Ralph is an amazing guide and customizes the tour for you. He is friendly, accommodating and goes above and beyond to give you a one of a kind unforgettable experience. 5+ plus stars! Thank you Ralph 😊

10/10 recommend! We hired Ralph for a private tour of the island for our wedding anniversary trip. The car was nice and clean and he provided complimentary cold waters. He took us places we would not have found on our own with great views for picture taking. He provided an excellent history of the island. I’d highly recommend for first time visitors or those wanting to know more about Curaçao. Ralph is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Book him!

Ralph was a great tour guide and driver. Not only did he take me to the places I wanted to see, but he also added a few extra stops, which was a nice surprise. The icing on the cake? I had another tour scheduled immediately after my tour with Ralph and he offered to wait with me until the next tour guide arrived. This turned out to be a huge help since that tour ended up being cancelled. If Ralph hadn't waited, I would have been waiting at the meeting point by myself and would have had to find a way back to my hotel. Ralph definitely goes above and beyond for his customers. He comes highly recommended.

Ralph was super knowledgeable of the area. It is worth the expense and the adventure. Thank you Ralph!!

Ralph is an excellent tour guide. It was an absolute pleasure touring the island with him. He was very flexible working with me to get to all the sites I wanted to see. Ralph is very knowledgeable and has no reservations about sharing the history and culture of the island with you. In addition to the tour he facilitated my airport transfers and hotels changes seamlessly. I was 100% pleased with his service. I whole heartedly recommend him for all your transportation needs on the island

We visited for the day from a cruise ship and wanted to see several locations during our short visit. Ralph was very easy to work with in scheduling a tour that would accommodate the locations we wanted to see. He picked us up and dropped us off right outside the port and told us about the island as we were driving around the island. Ralph was very friendly and I would definitely recommend a tour with him!

I was visiting Curacao only for three days. This tour was worth the expense. Got to see the island, and got a sense of the culture and people. Ralph was great, making sure to tailor the tour to the high points that I wanted to see and experience

Ralph is very accommodating and flexible with his guests. He gave us extra time after the craziness of carnival increased our travel time and space for lunch. Let him know what you're interested in and he will make it happen!

Oh my goodness where do I begin... Ralph was amazing... He customized this tour to what we were interested in doing but then also gave so much more. He went out of his way to give us the most memorable and best experience ever. Ralph was so friendly and just wonderful to spend 6 hours with. AMAZING!!!!!

I loved every moment of this tour! We were able to get a little bit of everything from the island, and Ralph was extremely warm and made the whole tour delightful. He’s also very knowledgeable, and I guarantee that you will leave this tour feeling a little richer in experience!

Ralph is a delightful, friendly and very professional guide who tailored our tour of Curacao to our wishes, then, at our request, added sites he thought would be of interest that were cultural, historical. He spaced our visits according to our wishes as to time desired at each location, knew many of the locals at each spot, and impressed and engaged us with his extensive knowledge of the people, cultures, languages, geography, botany, and history that make up Curacao. We were sorry to have to cut short our tour a bit as we had some food the prior night that did not fully agree. Ralph was most understanding when this unanticipated challenge arose and returned us to our hotel. We would book again with Ralph and would urge others to do so as well.

We arrived by cruise ship for our day with Ralph. Communication was great prior to our visit and It was an easy walk to our meeting spot. We had never been to Curacao before this visit. We really enjoyed our time with him. He took his time to explain the history of the island and customized our tour for what we wanted to see. He was willing to make stops along the way based on our interests. This island is rich in history and Ralph was able to explain the political and economic policies that still shape life on the island. It is obvious that he is well known among the locals as we walked through the streets with greetings from many of his neighbors and friends. We were taken to some beautiful buildings and learned about the murals on the buildings and the various artists. I would highly recommend contacting Ralph if need transportation or a tour on this beautiful island. He will take you away from the typical tourist areas and show you the island from a different perspective! Thanks Ralph for a great day!

I booked a private, customized tour with Ralph after seeing great reviews on another travel website, and I am so happy I did. As I was traveling with my parents, we had varied interests in our tour, and Ralph encompassed all of them. From swimming with the sea turtles and watching flamingos take off from the beach, to gorgeous beach photo opportunities Ralph showed us everything. He is full of knowledge about this history of his beautiful home-island, and took us to important historical places, to learn about the culture and development of the country, as well as its more modern history. He exposed us to local foods, and taught us about the different languages and peoples. There was nothing more we could have asked for. Danki, Ralph, for the best tour we could have imagined!

Great day, was picked up on time and given a really personal experience taking us to both widely known and some unexpected places. Had a terrific time, great and knowledgeable guide, 5ish hours was plenty amount of time and would thoroughly recommend to others wanting to see a lot of Curacao in one go… allowed us to cherry pick which places to return to and spend more time there later in our holiday.

We’re a family of 3 & booked a private tour with Curaçao VIP tours prior to our cruise. From the word go we knew we had made a good choice with Ralph. Communication prior to tour great. Picked us up at planned time & venue. Lovely clean Chrysler with great air con. Ralph had bottled water cooling in boot. Ralph was warm friendly & extremely knowledgeable. He asked us what we wanted from the day then advised us the best order of locations to beat the queues. We visited flamingos first & got great pics. We visited Shete Boka national park & en route stopped at little local cafe where Ralph got us coconut water. We visited Playa Piskada & swam with turtles ( amazing !!) - Ralph minded all our belongings at the beach. After this we headed to the East of the island via more scenic stops. We visited the Blue Bols distillery & had a refreshing cocktail. Throughout the day we felt totally at ease with Ralph. He is a warm genuine guy who really wanted us to enjoy our day. We felt completely safe with his driving and in his care. We would totally recommend Ralph to anyone considering an island tour. An amazing day. Ralph…. It was belting !!!! X

As a married couple of 25 years, we decided to visit Curaçao. Ralph was kind and professional as he shared his knowledge of this beautiful island. We enjoyed seeing the ocean in its raw form, crashing into rocks and several beautiful blue water beaches. Curaçao is full of both culture and scenery. The local history was educational and an added bonus. We enjoyed seeing the flamingos and the turtles, from a distance. Thank you Ralph, for sharing your knowledge, and sweet treats with us ❤️. If you are in Curaçao and want a honest tour guide who is willing to take you where you want, Ralph is your guy!
