Walking tour of Bridgetown, Barbados - We booked the 12noon walking tour, which wasn't our best decision due to the heat, but we spent 90 minutes walking around Bridgetown hearing about the fascinating history of this capital. Although there was only 2 of us on the tour at times it was difficult to hear everything but when direct questions were asked Rickie was able to answer them with knowledge and confidence. Would definately recommend this tour to people interested in the history of Barbados.

Informative and interesting; highly recommended. - Karen, our tour guide, is clearly passionate about the history of her island and inspired us with her knowledge and stories. She arrived early at the meeting point and ensured the 3 of us on the tour were always comfortable, had lots of opportunities to ask questions and enjoyed the experience; she really went above and beyond what we expected. Thank you.

A couple of hours to learn about Barbados, it's capital, it's history, and it's people. - A great tour with a really interesting commentary from Karen. From its beginnings to present day, Karen understood the history of Barbados and Bridgetown and was able to talk about it in a way that was informative, fun and engaging. Highly recommend.

Karen was so wonderful... - Karen was so wonderful and knowledgeable, you couldn’t find a better guide. She made the tour memorable and we learned so much. We wish we had done it sooner as there were so many places we wanted to go back to and explore for longer. So we’ll just have to come back to Barbados. Thank you Karen, we loved it and we loved your warm and kindness.

Great tour - The tour of Bridgetown was great. Karen was an absolutely fabulous guide. She knew all the history and everything about Barbados. She speaks very clear English, answers any questions, and is a joy to be around. After the tour, she even took us back to get spices at the market and then got us back to the taxi service. She goes above and beyond.
