Very good experience! The guides were knowledgeable and very nice. I would recommend it to my friends.

Jersey our tour guide was amazing .. he had a plethora of information and answered all of our questions- he made it very interesting and it was amazing to hear all of Arubas history - he brought us to some real “ hidden gems” that we would’nt have been able to find on our own - it was like having a good friend” show us around town - sincerely “ Bear & his cub”

Canceled and never notified us - left us sitting waiting for them at drop off point. Now have to wait 10 days for refund. Horrible customer service and the people that work there could care less for any inconvenience they cause.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your honesty. We apologize that this occurred to you with us. However, we would like to clarify that we sent out a notification that the tour was cancelled before the scheduled date. The reason for this cancellation was due to an overbooking in the system. Again, we're sorry for this inconvenience and wish you a great day.
Kindest regards,
Fofoti Tours & Transfers

My wife and I had our first time experience on a ATV. Great time. We are both 77. We were the oldest in the group. 4 1/2 hours and 35 miles. Rode through the town to National Park. Our two guides were great, Albert and Robert. There were 14 ATV's being driven in our group. One guide in front and one in back. Keep us safe and together. Another item off our bucket list.

We selected this UTV adventure because we were picked up from our place of residence and because we were unsure of how ATV ‘s would work for our family . We preferred a bit of shade and no helmet. We enjoyed all aspects and hoped to swim in the Natural pool ( bought water shoes for it ) . The tide / pool was too rough but our guide Bryan made sure we had opportunity to swim elsewhere. It was a memorable road trip covering a large part of Aruba . Loved the coconut drink at The Chapel . Shout out to Bryan !!!!

I planned this excursion for our family of 4, and we weren’t really sure what to expect, but at the end I was getting accolades from everyone for picking the perfect excursion! Easy, but with just the right amount of thrill to keep our adrenaline pumping, the views were so amazing that at times we felt like it was a dream! We went in June, and it was a hot, dusty ride, but it was an absolute blast! This was a once in a lifetime experience and both of our kids (16 & 14) said they want to return to Aruba after they turn 18 so they can drive the UTVs. Jose & Patrick were great leaders & we felt safe with them at the front and back of our caravan. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses & wear close toed water shoes to get in & out of the natural pool (slick rocks). You will be dusty & filthy by the end (think Mad Max). I can’t say enough about this experience. It was incredible!

If you are planning a trip to Aruba, you must include this adventure. Fofoti Tours gives the best tour. So much fun! This was my second time on the tour and I would do it again. Much better than other companies who book too many people on a tour. This one was a smaller tour and included all of the top sites, plus lots of fun just driving the UTV's. Favorite excursion in Aruba by far!

Our tour guide was Ewald and he was courteous and informative throughout the trip. Because Fofoti is a smaller company, our group was by far the smallest group that we saw at all stops during the day. The rain made our tour even more fun as we got to play a little in the mud. We are coming back with a large group in August and plan to book again with Fofoti and will be requesting Ewald.

Most exciting adventure ever. Thrilling ride, exquisite scenery. Would do this again in a heartbeat. 10/10 value!

Nail bitingly thrilling, beautiful scenery. This old bag 55 drove the UTV and not sure if it added or subtracted years of my life. Most pristine and gorgeous place I've ever seen - took my breath away. Guide was excellent. Never felt unsafe. Great value. Excursion went on and on. Do not hesitate to do this activity.
