Interesting insight into the history - An interesting insight into the history of Bridgetown. We had a small group and plenty of opportunities to ask follow-up questions. Our guide was a young man who was very knowledgeable about the city's history and was able to answer all our questions. The walk lasted a little longer than the original duration, but we also got to see all the "extra spots".

Excellent tour guide - Zachary was an exceptional tour guide! Despite the intense sun during our tour, he quickly recognized the discomfort and graciously took us to an air-conditioned mini-mall to cool off. His patience while we recovered was greatly appreciated. The tour itself was incredibly informative; Zachary explained everything so clearly that our group hardly had any questions—just shows how well he conveyed the depth of information! It was a fascinating experience that truly helped us connect with Barbados's rich history. Highly recommend!

Bajan tour though history - I took a history tour of the city in the country. My guide, Zachary was very informative and had a great personality. He kept asking if I had any questions but I never did cause he did such a thorough job. If you can get him you’re lucky.

Bringing Back Some Facts - Excellent tour! It just so happened that I got Zachary all to myself! He was amazing! I wanted to get some history of the island, compare it to my Jamaican roots and bring some information back to my students. Check, check and check! I even got to see some caterpillars that I have never seen before and was able to get my steps in.

Learning about Bridgetown - I have been coming to Barbados for many years but did not know the history very well. Zachary was our guide and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the history of Bridgetown. Zachary was very polite and friendly and we enjoyed listening to him as he explained the stories behind the many monuments and old buildings. The 2-hour tour was just the right length and we felt that we learned a lot. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Awful, disappointing - Tour guide did not show up. Tours led by other leaders said this was not unusual for this tour. Too bad we were not informed before we planned our day around this activity . We called provided number but no one answered
