Fouremco Posted July 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I haven't booked with them to date, but I have researched a few possibilities on their website. I found that to be a bit of an exercise in frustration due to conflicting information on the website. For example, if I search for excursions by port, 14 different tours are listed for Oranjestad, Aruba, but if I input my details and search based on my itinerary, it shows zero excursions for Oranjestad. Moving on to Curaçao, there are 8 tours listed when searching by port, including one that is quite appealing. It operates 7 days a week, departing from the cruise port, but if you plug in your itinerary information, it says you can't book this excursion as the "tour conflicts with you itinerary". Of the 8 tours they offer daily from Willemstad, only 1 comes up if you do a search based on your itinerary. I'll be interested in the comments of those who have actually taken one of their shore excursions to see if my concerns over the website issues carry over to the tours.

As you say, a broker with not very good reviews. It seems that my concerns just from perusing the website were well founded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
