Nidhe Israel Synagogue and Museum
The Synagogue is one of our several stops on our food and heritage tour. Our walking tour starts at 11:30 am and the meeting point is in Jubilee Gardens, Bridgetown ( across from Courts store and Queen's Mary Anglican Church). Our expert guide will direct you through the city, pointing out the numerous historical sites of interest. We will make three food stops at local eateries where you will be treated to a guided sampling of authentic, delectable Bajan cuisine. Our guide will explain and answer your questions about food history, flavours, ingredients and preparation. There is a different menu at each stop so you can get a real taste of the range of Bajan cuisine. There is one dedicated beverage stop where you can quench your thirst with the beer of champions, Banks Beer or just rehydrate with bottled water. Our last food stop is near the Wharf, with a triple whammy of food, history and sea. You will take home a 'likkle' loot bag with a local sweet treat to savour later and think of the sweetness of Barbados. The tour lasts 2 - 2 1/2 hours and the tour guide will accompany you back to the meeting point.

Did the Heritage and Food Tour last week while in Barbados. Description of the tour sounded much better than the actual tour experience. Our tour guide was not very knowledgeable and frequently told us that she was no expert. First stop was jammed into a small bar with inadequate seating, and local establishment was not prepared for us. Last food stop was an air conditioned place but also lacked adequate seating. We had to go find chairs when other guests were finishing. We were presented food that was described accurately as pork, sweet potato and bread fruit. Looked very unappealing and majority of guests never sampled it. After we were finished, tour guide then told us that the pork was snout, ear, tail and feet. Tour guide then stated when we were slaves the masters kept the best parts and gave us these scraps. Today we gave you what we made beautiful from these scraps. Would not recommend this tour.

We were disappointed with the tour, as a whole. The tour started at an organic food stall in Jubilee Gardens. The tour guide did not know the names of many of the fruits and vegetables. The stall operator kept correcting her. After describing how delicious everything was; we left. I would have loved to sample them. We were near the back of the pack and couldn’t hear about 60% of what the guide said. What we did hear was not terribly insightful. I enjoyed going into the first rum house. I ate the fish sandwich, it was quite dry, however. The second stop was a doughy ball that apparently had fish in it. Unable to eat it. We continued along but being near the back of the pack we had no idea what was being said or pointed out. Finally gave up and left the tour early along with another two participants. Wouldn’t recommend this experience.

This tour was very disappointing. The first 2 food stops and the quality of the guide did not represent good value for money. It was unfortunate that our guide was more interesting in sharing details of her family, friends and personal life than she about informing us about the sights we were seeing. She was often distracted by what was going on around her and kept mentioning how tired she was having not slept the night before. All of this felt very unprofessional. Overall, we would not recommend this tour to others.

Had a wonderful stay at a VRBO, 6 weeks in a Villa with a private pool and situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean on the southeast side of the island. We were 15 minute drive east of the airport. One key word is expensive : food, golf, fuel. Despite these issues, climate was ideal, 30C during the day, 26 C at night. Despite the adjustment to driving on the left, Barbados has some of the worst roads I’ve ever driven on. Oistins fish fry on Friday evenings is a must see. We also had enjoyable trips to Brightons Farmer Market ( Saturday mornings…go early and enjoy breakfast and fresh produce shopping), Huntes Gardens, and you don’t want to miss Harrison’s Cave. The Four Square Rum factory tour and tasting is a must in Barbados. The hospitality and friendliness of the locals made us feel at home. You will especially notice this driving. Cost YouLess was our go to grocery place although they didn’t always have everything you might be looking for.

Kezia was an incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide! We had a wonderful time touring the historic areas of the city, learned a lot about its history and local culture, and enjoyed sampling local street foods.

I'm not sure what I expected, but we enjoyed this unique, non-touristy sightseeing and food tasting walk through Bridgetown. Nicola is chatty and fun, and she can answer questions about anything! The "hole-in-the-wall" first stop was interesting, although I'm not sure I'm crazy about souse. The second stop was tasty, but in a generic air-conditioned restaurant. We all enjoyed the final stop with chicken necks, mavi and more that was new to us, at the oldest bar in the city. We enjoyed viewing the architecture, old synagogue and cemetery, Parliament buildings and more.

Nicola was our guide and she was fantastic. Met us as scheduled and then we spent about four hours walking through Bridgetown, Barbados, stopping at four places to eat. Nicola discussed history, architecture and most importantly the food we were going to eat. There was a good variety of places we stopped as well as the types of foods we sampled. One of the best tours we have taken in the Caribbean. If you are in Barbados, definitely try them!

Nicola was our guide and gave us some some history of Bridgetown, Barbados and most importantly the food we were going to eat and then ate. Good variety of venues visited (4 in all) including everything from a rum shop (for food) to a nice restaurant on the water. Good variety of food also including some of the best Bajan dishes. Highly recommended.
