What To Expect
Port of Bridgetown
Pick up Location of the tour
Broad Street
Bridgetown. On the 5th of July 1628 that 64 settlers headed by Charles Wolverstone arrived. The location of Bridgetown was the most suitable place for a port. Its swampy lands however made it bad for the settlers’ health. The settlers named the town after a bridge that had been constructed by the early inhabitants of the island, the Amerindians. The Bridge of itself was called the Indian Bridge The main street Broad Street was named Broad Street as it is the broadest street in the town. In the early years the streets in town were ill kept and in 1656 legislature passed and act where persons not keeping the space in front of their property clean could be fined 100 pounds of sugar for each day of noncompliance. Bridgetown's Swamp was filled in and replaced with a canal. The lower part of the Constitution is called the Careenage. It was named the Careenage because it ships were careened on to a side to be repaired.

5.00Our Bajan Shore Highlights tour around Bridgetown felt like flipping through a vibrant postcard that you desperately want to step inside. In a short few hours, we soaked up the island’s charm—from lush scenery to the colourful rhythm of everyday life. A real highlight was passing by the childhood home of Rihanna, which added a little pop-star sparkle to an already dazzling tour. Our guide was an absolute gem—warm, witty, and brimming with knowledge. They didn’t just show us Barbados; they introduced us to it, like a proud friend eager to share their favourite places. The only downside? Time. Just as we were settling into the island vibe, it was time to head back. It felt far too short, like leaving a great party early. That said, it was the perfect teaser. Barbados has officially charmed us, and we’re already dreaming of coming back for a longer, sun-soaked stay.
