A very nice walking tour through Willemstad, our tour guide told in a fun and interesting way. Delicious ice cream as a surprise that was very welcome. Over the pontoonburg and back with the ferry. Both sides are worth taking a closer look.
Great if you can do it early in your trip

The tour guide was kind, but I had already been in town a few days so I knew most of what he was explaining (and I knew a few things he didn't). I wish the tour would've been available earlier in my trip - I think I would've had a different experience.
Cancelled on us

They cancelled last minute on us. I guess not enough people to interest them. We walked around the town. Nice spot....cruise ships in so busy. But a few forts and sights to see. Walking bridge is unique.
Great tour with historic information

Nice tour through Willemstad. Lots of historic information. Unfortunately we were not able to go inside Fort Amsterdam because of a protest, but it was still a great tour.
Nice educational tour

This way you learn something about the history and the environment. Even without a guide, you just walk past beautiful things and you don't get the historical background. Recommended.
Fascinating walk

The city is divided in to two parts by the St. Anna Bay. On the left on entering the bay is the Punda (The Point) and on the right is the Otrobanda (Outside). The two side are linked by Queen Emma pontoon bridge which moves sideways to let marine traffic through. It was the only direct link between the two sides until the Queen Juliana Bridge was built in 1974, at 185 foot high it is the highest bridge in the Caribbean. Two forts, one on either side of the inlet were built to defend the city. Amsterdam Fort on the Punda, built in 1735, has fended off Spain, France, Germany, England and Venezuela; a cannonball fired by Captain Bligh is still embedded in one of the walls. The Punda is a maze of narrow streets with markets, cafès, museums, cathedrals and Synagogues; all painted in many different colours.as constructed in 1974, at 185 foot high it is the highest bridge in the Caribbean. The Curaçoans have accepted their heritage of the peoples who migrated Europe to escape religious persecution. Jews from Spain and France, Huguenots Protestants from France and slave traders from rest of Europe. Their house have been preserved beautifully. On crossing the Queen Emma Pontoon bridge to the Otrabanda the colourfully painted buildings were previous maritime buildings, many have been converted in to luxury hotels.

Guide was missing 1 person and called half morning with office about this. The trip was therefore very chaotic. Most of it in English but she occasionally took the trouble to explain it in Dutch. At the end she was very busy gathering people who had a follow-up excursion. Eventually we found the bus driver who brought us back to the hotel. Too bad about the whole tour is that we only saw Punda while in Otrabanda there is at least as much history to see. For this money (€39 pp x 3) we could have done something different. Very unfortunate.
Fun and informative walking tour through willemstad

Very nice and informative tour. The guide told a lot about the history of Willemstad and took a lot of time to answer questions. Walking went at a good pace and have come to many discoveries.
Don’t miss this tour!

As always having a guide showing you what is behind the things you see works well. Punda and Otrobanda have such an intersting history and this way that became clear. Our guide was very good at this and threw in lots of personal experiece as well. We followed up on many of her recommendations afterwards.
