JdoggCruiser Posted October 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Anyone use Sonny Binn tours recently? Looking for some newer feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arubalisa Posted October 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2013 This http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/portreviews.cfm?EntryID=224903#2 was one of the most recent reviews I could find. Honestly with only 2 or 4 cruise ship calls per month during June through August, there probably are not many new reviews out there. Starting at post #21 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1510174 these are some reviews from late spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenw Posted November 13, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 13, 2013 We booked a tour with Sonny Binns a few months ago for November 20th. He just notified me today that he had to cancel our tour because not enough people signed up. Now I am scrambling to find something else to do in Aruba next week.

mafig Posted November 16, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm back. Sonny's tour was great! I highly recommend it! ;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny AZ Girl Posted November 16, 2013 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm back. Sonny's tour was great! I highly recommend it! ;):) We would love to hear the details....and if you have pictures, even better!:D I am sorry for the poster who's tour was cancelled so late in the game. Does Sonny post a minimum requirement to do a tour? I have been in contact quite a bit lately with Sonny. We have a group of 13 now who are booked on his tour in May. Originally we were booked with him in the AM and the Jolly Pirates in the PM, but JP changed us over to their AM tour. He very nicely switched over to PM for us and will pick us up where JP drops us off. WE are looking forward to his tour.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted November 16, 2013 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2013 No pictures, sorry. We were in a smallish bus, there were 14 people on the bus. The bus holds about 18, so I don't think you have to worry about him cancelling. The bus is nice, clean, and airconditioned. The tour was supposed to be 3 hours but we went for about 4 hours. He gives you the option of being dropped off at the beach, downtown or at the cruise terminal. I booked Sonny several months ago and did reconfirm at the beginning of October that we were still "on." He did respond quickly, stating "so far, it looks good.":eek: I know he said that gas is about $6/gallon in Aruba, so he probably has to have acertain amount of people to make money. We've done several independent excursions, and I can say that Sonny's is among the best. And only $30 ~ a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckinSC Posted November 17, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Does anyone know how to get in touch with Sonny Binn? The website that I found seems rather generic and has no direct contact information. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candhmama Posted December 21, 2013 #21 Share Posted December 21, 2013 We are just back from our cruise and did a tour with Sonny. We thought it was great! We stopped at a rock and walked stairs up to the top (I'm sorry i don't remember the name), we drove out the the natural bridge, saw the baby bridge and the big one that collapsed, we stopped at a church and went to the California light house. Saw lots of the island and learned lots. He stopped at a local grocery store so people could buy the local beer (or any thing else they wanted) since it was cheaper there than anywhere else. Some of the people wanted to go to the beach so he dropped them off and told them how to get back to the ship by bus or taxi and then took us back to the ship. He had another tour that afternoon (a ship came in later that day) so he had to get us back. It was a great tour and would recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lithlith Posted January 3, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sonny was already booked the day we were in Aruba 12/26/13. He had recommended his friend Howard Folkes for us and we used him through his company -F Tours & Transfers for a $30pp island tour: http://folkestours.com/ Howard was great!

alwalaska Posted January 5, 2014 #23 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. We only have 5 confirmed so far in our group. I hope we can get some more before too long. Im curios if we will be cancelled. He told us his minimum is 6. He responds quickly to emails if you want to ask. If he does cancel, I wonder if the 5 of you could offer to cover the cost of the 6th person. The tour is one of the most reasonably priced ones I have found.
