5.00The lady that met us was very nice, super informative, and genuinely cared about our knowledge all the way through. She was on time and even bought us a small bag of refreshments, some of the larger sites we didn't see like the garrison but lots of hidden things that we as tourists would never known about. Thank you so much.

5.00Radavie (sorry if I spelt your name wrong!) was an excellent guide. She took me husband and I along with 3 others on a really interesting tour of Bridgetown giving us loads of interesting history and also telling us about her experiences of Bridgetown and Barbados which made it so interesting. It was nice too to be given a bag with bottled water and a couple of healthy snacks each. These were most welcome as it was such a hot day! Can highly recommend this tour.

5.00Interesting history and fantastic tour! My guide was Radavie. She did a fantastic job and provided a comprehensive history complemented with personal experience. We were chatting like old friends! Flat terrain, easy walking. Wear comfy walking shoes. Bring sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. They provide a cute little portable backpack with a small snack and water. Keep shoulders covered to prevent sunburn. I enjoyed this tour!
Great Tour and Great Value for Money

5.00Excellent walking tour. Lots of interesting facts covering a really broad range of subjects. Radavie was a perfect guide and such a nice person as well. At the start of the tour they give you a 'goodie bag' (cheap backpack) that has some snack food and water in it. That's a nice touch. (See pic.) We already had a litre of water with us and then received another litre. If we'd known we would have arrived without our water. Take the option of the morning tour.
Take the morning tour, afternoon is way to hot for a walkabout.

4.00Nice day out around the town. Pleasant stroll around old part of the town where you see old colonial buildings and community life. Visiting the Parliament building was very interesting. Prepare to engage with friendly locals who fistbump everyone. The Caribbean drums music band during lunchtime was very good. Tour guide could be a bit more cheerful, he sounded as if he was having an argument with his mother in law whenever someone asked him something.
Bright and lovely historical tour in Bridgetown!!
