Vandaag de Noordtour gedaan en wat hebben we een leuke dag gehad! We waren met opa, oma, onze 3 kids en wijzelf, dus met z’n 7’en. Voor jong en oud was het echt leuk. We hadden twee superleuke gidsen die ontzettend veel over Bonaire wisten. Ze vertelden tijdens de tour allerlei leuke weetjes over het eiland en de geschiedenis, waardoor je Bonaire echt op een andere manier leert kennen. Ook de verschillende stops waren erg leuk en mooi. De gidsen waren gezellig, enthousiast en namen echt de tijd voor ons. Echt een aanrader als je op Bonaire bent en meer van het eiland wilt zien en horen. Wij hebben een hele gezellige en mooie dag gehad! ?☀️ Bedankt voor de leuke tour! ?

Een echte aanrader. Wij deden als groep van 7 deze mooie zuid Bonaire tour. En we raden het iedereen aan. Je kunt er wel zelf overheen rijden. Maar het stukje geschiedenis en informatie zul je niet snel verkrijgen. De sfeer lekker gemoedelijk. En onze kleine kinderen van 6,7,10 bleven tot het einde geïnteresseerd. En uiteraard de vele flamingo’s gespot. Nog een klein extra’tje kregen daarna alle leuke foto’s door de gidsen gemaakt toegestuurd. Bedankt groetjes Fam. Berkenbosch.

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Private Guided Tours Bonaire! Kirsten was amazing — friendly, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. She made the whole tour feel personal and fun, not just informative. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to see Bonaire. Highly recommend booking with Kirsten if you want a memorable, well-guided adventure. We’ll definitely be back!

Extremely fun and interesting tour. The 1x1 experience with Kirsten was awesome, she is extremely personable, attentive, and knowledgeable. She even went out of her way to show us some of the lesser known local spots specific to our interests. Can’t recommend her enough and we will absolutely be doing the south tour when we are back next year!

Our driver/tour guide was Verna. She did a fantastic job of showing us everything we wanted to see especially flamingos. She was very knowledgeable about the island’s history. I would recommend this tour company highly.
