5.00Me & my Mum had a fantastic historic walking tour with Khadesha today, she was very knowledgeable and provided great in-depth details of the history of Barbados. The areas we visited were great & we really enjoyed learning more about Barbados. We highly recommend booking this tour! We also met Karen on arrival who was equally as lovely as Khadesha! Thank you both for a great day.
