Are you yearning for an authentic tour of Barbados? Look no further!! Choose from the list on the itinerary or share contact us after booking for your customized itinerary.
Let me show you the Barbados I was born and raised in just as I remember it. I would love to share my most treasured and intimate memories of traveling around the island with my father. The shores and forts of Barbados have always made me giddy because of the immense pleasure I drew from them growing up. Come explore them with me as I share interesting facts only a local would know. I'd love to take you for a journey through history as we travel the quaint towns and absorb in the beauty of ancient buildings alongside modern architecture.
Also get to interact with locals as we pass vendors in the streets as well as the famous Barbados rum shops. And not to mention the natural scenery, the breathtaking flora and fauna. Who knows, maybe we will see a monkey or two crossing the road!

Awesome way to do your own thing.

5.00None of the tours through the cruise or Viator were what I wanted so I booked this custom private tour which turned out amazing. Deborah and I visited Bathsheba Rock, Harrison's Cave and of course I couldn't come to Barbados without visiting Rihanna Drive. We stopped at a small local restaurant near Bathsheba Beach for lunch and I had fried chicken and macaroni pie (which is their thing). It was the best meal of my whole trip. We also stopped at a roadside fruit stand and I tried a Mammy Apple. Riding around she also shared local facts and history so I didn't miss out on that aspect of the island.
You can’t go wrong !

It's called Barbados through eyes of a local and it truly is!

5.00Wide ranging conversation and stops that matched my interests, my timetable (wanted to get back to the ship early) and taught me so much about Barbados that I want to come back! No time for the Mount Gay rum distillery, so that will have to happen the next time :-)
Wonderful tour

5.00Deborah was an inspiring and adaptable guide. Despite the rainy weather we brought from the UK, she ensured we enjoyed a full island tour of Barbados. From Bridgetown to the East Coast’s stunning new road, up to the animal caves in the north, and back to the West Coast, every stop was memorable. Lunch at a local spot was a wonderful, authentic touch. Highly recommended!

5.00Deborah was an incredible tour guide! She was not only extremely knowledgeable but also genuinely kind, funny, and engaging. It truly felt like we were exploring with a longtime friend rather than a guide. Thank you so much for your time and kindness, this was an unforgettable experience from start to finish!
Exploring Barbados with Deborah

5.00We had great experience traveling with our tour guide Debbie. She is very knowledgeable of the history, attraction sites, landmarks in Barbados. She tailored tour to meet our interest, and at the end of tour we were more than happy and excited to discover Barbados from new perspective. We were at Barbados 9 years ago, but with this tour we discovered new landmarks, attractions, parks and towns. We highly recommend tour with Debbie. She is friendly, good driver, comfortable car, knowledgeable and is very good with kids.
Wonderful Insight to Barbados History and Culture with a local!

5.00We had the best day with Deborah! From the moment we met her at the cruise terminal, we knew we were in for a special day. Deborah knows the island inside and out and gave us an incredible tour - taking us to some of her favourite places with great photo stops and giving us an overview of the history and culture of the island. Barbados can’t be done in a day but Deborah knows the highlights and made sure we had a wonderful day. If you want to converse and meet a wonderful local, hear about the island’s history and find out about life in Barbados, this is the tour for you! Deborah was kind, passionate and a historic expert and is heavily involved in many different communities on the island and I will really treasure our insightful conversations. I came away with a lot of food for thought and felt like we spent the day with a friend, thank you for everything Deborah!
