This was a great tour of the country. Ahmed was very knowledgeable about the history and culture and was an excellent driver. He also took us to a great restaurant for lunch. The vehicle was comfortable.

Ahmed is a fantastic guide! He took us on a tour of the interior and the East Coast, showing us beautiful highlights and hidden gems. He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided great commentary throughout the day. He also knows exactly where to go for the best local food—his lunch recommendation was perfect. 10/10 experience!

This was an excellent way to get to know more about the island. A great option if you are new to Barbados. A very informative guide (Ahmed), and a pleasant afternoon getting to see a number of things that we would never have found on our own

This was a great way to see the Barbados that’s outside Bridgetown and the beach hotels. Our guide Ahmed was really polite and very helpful and had in depth knowledge of the whole island. The stops were really good. Harrison’s Cave is spectacular and really enjoyed seeing it…..though we must say that even though we’d booked tickets in advance, we found their organisation and communication very poor. Ahmed helped stop us being overcharged and waited patiently for us to complete the delayed tour. We would definitely recommend using this tour to tailor make your own itinerary to see the rest of Barbados.

We had an amazing private tour of Barbados with Ahmed. The tour in a roomy, airconditioned van, included Harrison’s Caves, Hunte’s Garden, a delicious lunch at the Sand Dunes, and an extensive tour of the island. Ahmed is born and raised in Barbados which shows in his knowledge and love of his country.

We didn’t want to do a tour from the resort because we don’t like a set itinerary or being on a bus full of people. So I chose this one because it was private and appeared to be flexible and it definitely was - exactly what we wanted. We had one place in mind we wanted to see and then were flexible on the rest. Ahmed told us what he would recommend and let us choose. Then took us by some historical and scenic spots just to see. He knew pretty much anything about the island (including where the absolute best cheesecake was). We felt completely safe and at ease the entire time. If I want to do anything else on the island, I would call him right back to take us.
