5.00Very informative and Kiann was an excellent guide. It is mostly in the sun, so be prepared with sunblock and a hat that ties under your chin (it’s windy and my hat blew off several times)

5.00Very nice walk around older area of Bridgetown - the walk is around 2 hours but area covered is quite small - lots of historical information on the way and things to see. Our guide Karen was very knowledgeable about the history but was also able to answer all ad hoc questions we had. Highly recommended!
Brilliant

3.00Was a nice walking tour, a couple things, the guide forgot her microphone speaker so at times it was hard to hear, would have been nice if we all introduced ourselves & maybe a little more dedicated time for pictures.
