Exceptional experience, would highly recommend - We could not have asked for more. From the very start, the communication with Deborah was excellent. She sent a list of possible activities/stop offs in advance so we could plan our day. When we met, we told her what we thought we would like to do, which for us was a driving tour of the whole island, and that's just what we did! We stopped at many places along the way.. including Bridgetown, Batts Rock beach, Tyrol Cot Heritage Village, Speightstown, Animal Flower Cave (where we had a lovely lunch together), Cherry Tree Hill and Bathsheba. All along the way, Deborah was a wonderful guide with a wealth of information on the history, economy, geography and nature of her island. We only had one full day in Barbados but we really made the most of it by spending it with Deborah and would highly recommend her services if your looking for a unique and authentic tour of your own!

Fantastic tour of the whole island of Barbados - What a thorough and outstanding tour covering every province of Barbados! Since we had a larger family (with three kids - 18, 14, and 5) we split into two cars. What a great decision and Debra was an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge! Took us to a variety of different locations ranging from Gun Hill to Animal Flower Cave and also found a great place for lunch. Also very warm and welcoming tour guide. Spent almost six hours with her and time just flew. Now we can chill for the rest of our holiday knowing we saw some of the best Barbados has to offer from an amazing guide. Well done Debra!

Tour Barbados with a Master Chatter! - Deborah is a fantastic Master Chatter! My husband and I booked a full day tour exploring Barbados with her and it was so worth it! She runs Chattel House Audio Tours and shares both the history and current events of the island country with passion. Definitely was a pleasure spending the day with Deborah!

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and filled our tour with informative and interesting anecdotes. We had a great overview of the island - Bridgetown, Speightstown and Cherry Tree Hill.

Amazing experience - This was my first visit to Barbados, and I’m glad I chose this tour with Deborah. As a local, she can tell a lot about the island and its history, and how generations of her family lived there. I was able to see many interesting places across Barbados, learned more about the country, and, of course, enjoyed numerous magnificent views. The experience that I enjoyed the most was a little hike along the shore near Animal Flower Cave at the northern tip of the island. The weather was windy, and I saw huge ocean waves crushing into the cliffs at the coast, with water splashes reaching the ground tens of meters higher. It was incredible, and I’m thankful to Deborah for showing me the beauty of the island and sharing her experience. I recommend this tour to everyone.

Fun - Our tour with Debbie was very fun and informative. Debbie picks you up from your hotel and gives you a tour of various parts/towns in Barbados, including historical monuments, murals, and local “ must visit “ spots. Debbie is incredibly knowledgeable Barbadian history and culture, and answered any questions we had on tour. Debbie makes you feel comfortable and is relatable. My one feedback is that Debbie be more communicative about what is accommodated for on the tour versus which sites have an extra fee. For example, we were under the impression that the Rum Tour was accommodated, as It was listed on the list she provided of sites to choose from. That being said we ended paying extra, on top of the $125 initial price. Otherwise , the tour was absolutely amazing.
