From Rihanna to Oxtails: The Perfect Barbados Adventure
Tonekia P,Jun 24, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00Our private tour of Barbados was one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel like we were exploring the island with a friend rather than just taking a tour. We visited all the must-see spots—from Rihanna's childhood home and current villa to Cherry Tree Hill, Bridgetown, the Wildlife Reserve, and the breathtaking Animal Flower Cave. Along the way, we learned so much about the island's history, culture, and hidden gems. We told him what we wanted to see. What really set this experience apart was how accommodating our guide was. My significant other mentioned he wanted authentic Bajan oxtail, and our guide made an unplanned stop at a local spot so he could enjoy some. That personal touch made the day even more special and is something we'll never forget. If you're visiting Barbados and want a tour that's informative, flexible, and truly customized to your interests, I can't recommend this experience enough. Ask for this guide if they're available—you won't be disappointed!
Lovely Afternoon

A Knowledgable guide makes all the difference

5.00This was actually a small group tour rather than private (not in your dropdown list). The tour covered much of the west coast and then across to the rugged east coast. The tour was conducted at just the right pace and the stops allowed us to enjoy the sites. However, the highlight was our guide Charles who has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the island history. We were able to learn so much and the icing on the cake for a cricket lover like me was stopping off at the Kensington Oval for photos of the statues of the WI greats.
Disappointed

3.00I've waited a bit to leave this review because I wanted to think on it. Orlando was very nice and the van was very clean. We started with him asking what we wanted to do: I mentioned Harrison's Cave, Hunte's Garden and, if we had time, Earthworks Pottery. He said if we got back to resort after 1p, it would be an extra $50 per hour. I told him we just wanted to see what we could in the allotted time. We went to Harrison's Cave first, and that's when we kind of got off track. He helped me buy the tickets and then we stood around for a bit until I asked where we were supposed to go and he went back and asked and then hurried us to the elevator and pointed down to the building where the cave tour started. When we got down there, no one was there, so we stood around for several minutes before walking out to look for someone. Eventually we found someone and they looked at our wristbands that said 9:40 and by this time it was 9:50, so that tour had already left. We ended up getting in the 10:30 tour, so we wasted 50 minutes doing nothing. We then went to Hunte's Garden and made a quick tour of that since we knew time was getting short. Back in the van, Orlando asked what I wanted to do. I told him that I could run in and out of Earthworks Pottery in 10 minutes or less, but if it would make us late that I would skip it. He drove us to Earthworks; I was in and out in 8 minutes and my hubby stayed in the van. THEN we ran into a closed road and a detour, but Orlando thought he knew a better way then the detour, so he went his way, then we came across an accident which sent us into another detour. We got back to the resort at 1:30, and he charged us an extra $50. We paid it, but I was very unhappy. The road closing and accident and detours were something that neither Orlando nor we could have anticipated, but to charge us for that seemed out of line.

Amazing private tour with Dunstan

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This private tour could not have been better. Dunstan was an excellent guide and driver. He was very personable with informed knowledge of the Island and it’s history. The price was more than fair for a private experience. The communication from Beautiful Barbados tours was also excellent. We will definitely book again and request Dunstan when we return to this beautiful island.
Great island knowledge

5.00Our guide was full of useful information that helped us get a feel for the island in a short time. We went in without knowing anything about the island and left it to her to guide and I felt we got a great feel for it.
The tour was awesome, our driver was so friendly and engaging. She was very knowledgeable and an awesome host.
