What To Expect
St. Nicholas Abbey
The tour takes you to St. Nicholas Abbey Great House and Distillery, a key element in our history, and architectural heritage. At the rum distillery, award winning rums of exceptional quality are created. Your guide will educate you on the history and rum making process at the Abbey. Make sure you sample some of the 12- and 18-year rums.
Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill
This mill was used to grind sugar in the 18th and 19th centuries, but ceased operations since 1947, when steam power was introduced into the local sugar industry. The wind-powered sugar mill is one of the last of its kind and a monument to the once booming sugar industry in Barbados.

5.00Really interesting trip. Especially if you like history. The guide at the abbey Megan was great and a very funny.
Driver brilliant, flower garden amazing, “Abbey” awful

4.00I have done seperate reviews for the gardens and Abbey because I do not think it is fair for the tour operator or the gardens to be penalised by the negative experience we had at St Nicholas Abbey Our driver was very professional and pointed out various sites on our journey. I would recommend this tour purely on the flower garden. Would be much better if the Abbey was missed out altogether. The gardens were so beautiful and tranquil, yet the Abbey was a stark contrast, total chaos and rushed. You felt like you were on a position line (to see how many people you can literally squeeze through in a day)!
Brilliant tour

5.00An amazing morning with Andrew, who was friendly, knowledgeable and just made the tour brilliant. Flower Forest was beautiful and very peaceful, super tour of St Nicholas Abbey with Veronica, again knowledgeable, informative and made the tour fun. Simon made the rum tasting experience very enjoyable. Andrew gave us photo stops at Morgan Lewis Windmill, Bathsheba east coast highway and Cherry Tree Hill. Thank you Andrew, have no hesitation recommending Suntours and especially yourself.

4.00St Nicholas Abbey, Distillery, Flower Trail well worth seeing !! Ride up and back with a very nice driver, very polite and respectful. Only problem he did not point anything out on the ride up and back. Listened to car radio up and back. Could have used a guide on flower trail, only given a map with a few pictures. Before you book this this fairly expensive trip, ask provider if driver will be pointing out highlights of beautiful Barbados. PS Out of respect we did tip driver
Low key yet breath-taking tour of 3 diverse Barbados tourist spots with a lovely guide/driver

5.00The 3 adults on our tour had a wonderful trip with Erskine. He was so pleasant and informative. We loved his stories about his youth and working days in Barbados. He was an excellent driver and took care of all arrangements at each spot we visited. We were staying on the south coast and this is a wonderful tour for folks who want to see the east coast and get a bit of Barbados history - while visiting 3 beautiful and diverse places (Flower Forrest, Bathsheba, and St Nicholas Abbey/Rum making.)
Good trip, flower forest was lovely

5.00We had a pick up on time and a driver and car to take us to the flower forest and St Nicholas abbey. Both venues were very good. The driver was entertaining and knowledgeable. The price quoted included entry to both attractions and extra stops for photos.

3.00This tour included the floral forest and rum tasting at the Abbey estate. It was such a great experience. A lot of walking, some areas steep. Wear comfortable shoes. Our driver was new and not the most helpful when getting us to the locations, but he was friendly.
Waste of time and money
