Morning in Bridgetown

Debbie was a great tour guide with lots of facts and stories about the Bridgetown history. It was fun to walk around town and be part of a typical work day on the island. Good way to spend a morning

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We appreciate you for doing so. It is always our pleasure to share our city with our wonderful guests. Yes, the heat could be brutal, even for us locals, especially during the months of August and September. But because of our units, we encourage you to get in the shade. We know you prefer to be with our friendly guides. Smiles

Great personalized experience

We were the only party taking the tour so we had a great personalized experience. Much of Bridgetown is closed on Sunday, so while we were not able to see the city in its usual state, our tour guide Zachary was wonderful in explaining what he was not able to show.

Exceeded my expectations
natisanchez01
, Feb 2020
I was not expecting much of the tour since the pictures of it did not look appealing. But turns out those pictures don't give justice to the quality of the tour. Our tour guide Zachary waited for us and gave each one of us a backpack with water, snacks, a map of the city and a headset so we could hear him clearly from his microphone. I was very impressed at his professionalism, he answered all my questions and gave us great insights to the history and culture of the city. He is very knowledgeable, very calm and engaging. We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Knowledgeable and Considerate

Alex met us right on time and guided us on a fascinating tour of Bridgetown. He was so considerate, making sure we crossed all roads safely and always tried to stop in the shade to talk to us. He even brought snacks and water for us! He was knowledgeable, being a school teacher, and enlightened us on Bridgetown's troubled history of slavery and colonialism as well as the hope for the future, including the most recent election of Barbados' first female Prime Minister, who won all 30 seats in the House of Commons.

Thoroughly enjoyed a very informative tour. Really wanted to go inside a small rum shop we stopped outside on Suttle Street. (Time wouldn't allow). Guide was knowledgeable and keen to learn of our English stories as well. Well worth the tour cost.

The tour was excellent and the guide very informative. The tour filled many questions about the historical sites of Bridgetown and Barbados. It was also very interesting to talk about present day life on the island and its hopes for the future. A very worthwhile tour and highly recommended.
