Walk with Ricki! - Great tour provided by a very knowledgable and friendly young lady named Ricki (sp?). Although two hours may seem a bit short, this wasn't an excursion with time spent in a bus or a boat. With someone who knows their stuff it was more than enough to give us a good feel for the capital and island's history.

Amazing introduction to Barbados! - Riki (sorry if we spelt wrong!) was an amazing guide. We had an amazing and informative tour. She had so much historical and cultural knowledge, we asked so many questions and she knew all the answers. She also had food and entertainment recommendations!

Beautiful Bridgetown - Amazing tour. Ruthann, our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We went over time with no additional charge. The five of us did our tour on a Sunday morning which is was nice quiet. If you want to see the hustle and bustle go for an early sayurday morning tour when the markets are open. The history of Bridgetown is fascinating, rich and can be seen all around you when looking at the streets and buildings. Thank you - we all had an amazing time and 100% recommend 😀

Wonderful start to the trip - Karen was a fabulous guide. A history buff, she shared much about the development of Barbados into the island nation it is today. She timed the tour's pace to the needs of the group. At its conclusion, we had a great beginning on understanding this place.

Incredible history tour of Bridgetown and Barbados - Karen did a fantastic job of explaining the rich cultural heritage of Barbados. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She took extra time for our group as we were so interested in the background of the people, the land, the city, the government and the future of Barbados. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Friendly guide, but content a bit disjointed - We have been on many tours recently, and this is the first time we've had a new guide who is still learning the content, so granted, we may not be comparing apples to apples. The guide was very personable and friendly and we enjoyed meeting them. They shared a few interesting stories, which we researched later to get some more context. With time, I imagine the tour might have more of a cohesive narrative.
