Full Day Willemstad Tour

**Review of the Jewish Tour in Curacao**

I recently had the pleasure of taking a Jewish heritage tour in Curacao, and I can confidently say it was one of the most enriching experiences of my travels. Our guide, a fabulous taxi driver named Ralph, was born and raised on the island, and his deep-rooted connection to Curacao made the tour truly special.

From the moment we met, Ralph's passion for his heritage and the island was palpable. He shared fascinating stories about the Jewish community in Curacao, tracing its history back to the 17th century. His anecdotes brought the synagogues and historical sites to life, showcasing the vibrant culture that has thrived here.

We visited the Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, the oldest surviving synagogue in the Americas. Ralph’s detailed explanations about its unique features, such as the sand-covered floor and the beautiful ark, were captivating. He also introduced us to local customs and traditions, enriching our understanding of the Jewish diaspora's impact on the island especially at the museum.

Ralph's enthusiasm extended beyond history; he also took us to local markets for lunch and hidden gems that showcased Curacao’s special side.

What set this tour apart was Ralph’s personal touch. He was not just a guide; he was a storyteller who intertwined his own family history with the places we visited. His warmth and humor made everyone feel at ease, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encouraged questions and discussions and introducing us and saying hello to everyone across the island. We even got to see the local flamingos, So pink and vibrant.

Overall, this Jewish tour in Curacao was an unforgettable journey through history, culture, and community, all thanks to Ralph's exceptional guidance. If you're looking for an insightful and personal experience on this beautiful island, I highly recommend booking a tour with him!

Did a 7 hour tour of Curaçao, all guided by Ralph. Talk about going the extra mile…I lost my much needed sun protection hat in the wind at one of the beautiful beaches we stopped at. It blew off the edge of a cliff and got caught on rocks below. Ralph insisted on climbing over to retrieve it for me! There’s no way I would have attempted it. If you want to learn about local culture, gorgeous beaches and all things Coracao, book a VIP tour with Ralph!

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing top-notch service from Ralph, a five-star driver in Curaçao. From the moment Ralph arrived to pick me up from the airport, it was clear that I was in the hands of a professional. His vehicle was immaculately clean and well-maintained, setting a positive tone for the journey.
Ralph's knowledge of the island was impressive. He navigated through the streets of Curaçao with ease, pointing out notable landmarks and sharing interesting facts about the island's history and culture. His enthusiasm for his work and pride in his homeland were evident, making the ride both educational and enjoyable.

I found Ralph through google and after reading his reviews I decided to book a tour. He did not disappoint. He was on time to pick us up, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the island. He shared history of the island with us and took us to a few historic spots. Then we went to Punda to do a bit of shopping. He’s a great guide and an even better person. Thank you Ralph!

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Ralph on my trip to Curacao. I booked him for a round trip transport and he was always communicative, on time and pleasant to converse with!! I asked him how the weather was for the week when I first arrived and during my trip, he sent me a weather advisory video to keep me updated on a possible incoming storm (which thankfully did not occur)This reflected consideration and thought! It was much appreciated. Please do not hesitate to book him for all your taxi needs! He’s reliable, thoughtful and personable!

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

Ralph made himself available after my original tour cancelled, and I’m so glad it did! Ralph is knowledgeable, personable and passionate about sharing the history of Curaçao. We did a Jewish Curaçao tour which was exceptional. And I’ll just add that he had a beautiful, air-conditioned car which we quite enjoyed. Ralph was so helpful, storing and removing my Mom’s wheelchair from his trunk. I really can’t say anything negative. It was a joy to be with him.i thought his fee was quite reasonable and with every penny. Here’s a pic of Ralph holding my mother up so she could see the Jewish cemetery for herself.

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.
