Willemstad's Vibrant Soul: Exclusive UNESCO City Walk

Our guide, Jacqueline, was quite delightful; very upbeat. She explained the nuances of the Otrobanda part of Willemstad. She.explained how the people and community lived and its progression over time. Very interesting.

What an amazing morning spent exploring Otrabanda in Willemstad. We learned so much and delighted in the story telling, history and beautiful art shared with us in this area. Can highly recommend this tour. Small group was a huge plus!

Wonderful tour, we loved our guide and all the rich history we learned about while with her! 2 things to know: this tour takes place only in Otrabanda (one part of Willemstad). We ended up walking around by ourselves in the Punda side (which I would have loved to know more about but that is a separate tour!). Second: they ask you to be 15min early which we were, but then they ask you to wait until everyone in your group arrives. After 30min total of waiting, we were still the only ones and we urged our guide to start the tour. Unfortunate that we had to wait around.

This was a really cool walking tour providing an accurate local perspective on Willemstad. Our guide was very animated and knowledgeable on the history of the City. I must for urban planners and enthusiasts

Xiomara was a great guide. Very enthusiastic. Made the whole experience interesting. Nice condensed history of Willemstad and Curacao. Tour and walk were just the right length.

Jacqueline is a fantastic guide. Her knowledge, passion and energy about the historic neighbourhoods of Willemstad make this tour so informative and fun!!

We had the absolute pleasure of joining a walking tour of Willemstad, Curaçao, led by the wonderful Hettie. From the moment we met her, Hettie was warm, friendly, and incredibly inclusive—making everyone in the group feel welcome and engaged. Her deep knowledge of Curaçao’s rich history, paired with her thoughtful reflections on the island’s future, brought the city to life in a way that was both educational and inspiring. We especially appreciated how she highlighted local art and artists, weaving their stories into the vibrant tapestry of Willemstad’s architecture and culture. Hettie also went above and beyond by offering fantastic recommendations for things to explore on our own after the tour—hidden gems we might have otherwise missed. If you're someone who values learning about the heart and soul of a place through the eyes of a passionate local, this tour is an absolute must. Thank you, Hettie, for an unforgettable experience!

Great walking tour of a neighborhood we probably wouldn’t have explored in our day in Curaçao. Great history and art, sense of community.

Hettie was fantastic! Gave a lot of history, took us to cool places, local stores, murals. She even contacted me after to give suggestions for the rest of our trip!

Xiomara’s walking tour IS the best walking tour of Willemstad Curaçao! Historical, informative and entertaining - we met locals and saw parts of Willemstad we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. Highly recommended this tour - no need to look anywhere else!
