“Our guide, Rocky, was excellent. He went out of his way to make the afternoon fun and interesting. He went snorkeling with us to show us the best places to swim and took a detour so we could buy a needed item. I wish Viator had listed the length of the tour in their description. As it was, Rocky had to get us back for a dinner reservation, so our tour was 45 minutes shorter than he had planned. But we covered a lot an learned much about Aruba from Rocky.”
