Karen - The Best Tour Guide

5.00Karen is an Excellent Tour Guide. We enjoyed her enthusiasm and knowledge of her country. She was professional, respectful and committed to meeting our expectations. We appreciated her insight and sharing tips about where to eat, how to get around on the bus to see the gems of Barbados. Definitely worthwhile!
Not worth it!

2.00The history of Barbados was ok but the actual Places visited on this tour you can do yourself. We had already seen 3/4 of all the places by walking around ourselves before the tour. It was also annoying that too many breaks were taken for a two hour walking tour. I did not need to sit for 15 minutes to have other tour individuals order coffee and sit down in a restaurant or buy shampoo in a store.
interesting tour

5.00Our guide, Karen, was brilliant - very knowledgeable and kind, readily answering any questions we had. It was such a pleasure to enjoy the sites and learn about the history of Bridgetown with the added flexibility of just being the two of us who were being shown around.

4.00It's a good tour, with lots of interesting info - but I feel that our guide could perhaps have put us in the shade more, while giving us the info. I was very hot..

5.00Had a great couple of hours with our tour guide Karen and her assistant walking around Bridgetown Barbados. Karen is full of local knowledge and answered any questions our group had. We were on a cruise and docked at Bridgetown and booked this tour ourselves and not through our cruise line. Thanks Karen
