History of Bridgetown and Barbados made fun. - The walking tour of Bridgetown on Christmas Eve was fun and really informative. Karen, our guide, did a fantastic job of transporting us back to the 17th century and bringing us up to current times in Barbados.

Well worth it. Book one. - Thoroughly enjoyable with our guide Karen. Very informative, she is clearly a proud Barbadian and that came across in her enthusiasm and very happy to answer our many questions. Fascinating insights you can only get from tours like this. A definite high recommendation from us. Thank you, Karen.

Friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable - After a minor confusion over our tour start time, Karen swiftly met us with a warm smile and apologies. Not a problem...we were on island time! We immediately felt like Karen was an old friend; sharing stories of her home and taking us around to show us her town. Her depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for her country's history was impressive! We were surprised to learn the extensive and rich history of Barbados, told to us in easy to understand, colourful detail. Karen took good care of our safety when crossing busier roads and uneven ground, found us shelter during a brief rain shower, and kindly took us to the Duty Free at the end of the tour. Very good value, in our opinion, and would do this tour again! Thanks Karen!

Nice but not great - Loved the historic aspects, but what we saw should not take 2 hours. Not enough interesting history.

Barbados History Lesson - Our tour guide was very informative, interesting, and organized for the trip but some of her information was repeated more than once. A shorter tour would have kept my attention better. I left the tour much better informed.

Historic Walking Tour - Our guide was friendly but the tour lacked interest and only lasted 50 minutes. There was no lunch as advertised. Very expensive for what was offered.
