Friendly, Fun, and Informative Island Tour - Excellent tour to get a great overview of Barbados. Yvette picked up our small group (a total of 8 of us on the tour) on time and was extremely friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. Can definitely tell she enjoys showing others around the island. The included lunch was also excellent. Though there wasn’t a lot of time at each stop, it was great to get to see so many sites all in one unfortunately short day. Would definitely use again if back in Barbados for a different or personalized tour.

Island tour highly recommend! - We had a great island tour with Yvette! She was so knowledgeable and it was lovely to spend the day with her. Even though this wasn’t our first time visiting Barbados we saw so many places that were new to us! A highlight was the restaurant for lunch! Highly recommended this tour!

Make your day count! - Yvette was a superb guide. She made sure we saw all the best beauty spots and learned a lot about Barbados along the way. The included lunch was tasty. Also appreciated the convenience of the pre-tour pick up. This is a wonderful way to maximize your time on the island.

An amazing welcome to Barbados and a new friend - We first met Yvette at the airport where she welcomed my husband and I with a big smile after a long flight. She gave us a brief history of Barbados as she drove us to our hotel. A few days later. we took her guided Highlights tour with four others in a comfortable air conditioned van. We did a circle around the island for beautiful views and a visit to St. Nicholas Abbey and the rum distillery and grounds. A delicious local lunch with four choices was included. You will leave Barbados with a new friend if choose Terrvette Tours. Yvette picked us up very early and right on time for our return flight. She said she would text us to make sure we arrived home safely and she did. Thank you, Yvette

Amazing Experience! Please book with Terry and Yvette - Yvette and Terry were amazing!! We use their airport transfer service and we took their tour that took us all around the island! If you want to support an amazing family and a small business I highly recommend. The vehicles are in excellent conditions, the AC was fantastic and they were both very knowledgeable about Barbados. Highly highly recommend!! Until next time Yvette and Terry.

Amazing support with Yvette - I can strongly recommend Yvette and Tervette Tours. We took a day's tour of Barbados with Yvette and a night trip to Oistin's Fish Market. Both were excellent and Yvette is a great tour guide. She suggested really interesting places to go on our day trip and helped with all the arrangements. She was a real pleasure to be with - great attitude, very friendly and helpful.
In addition, she took us back to the airport on our departure day, where we found out our plane had been cancelled. We called Yvette and she cut short her own errands to come back, get us and return us to our hotel - then come get us again for our revised afternoon departure. I can't thank her enough for all her help and support.

Girls Trip to Barbados Match 2024 - From the point of pick up, my friends and I received and experienced an excellent service from Yvette and Terry. We also grouped with a friendly US couple from Michigan Our tours included breathtaking and amazing views from Rhianna Drive, Bathsheba, a visit to the Mount Gay rum plantation with a guided tour, historical sites in Bridgetown to name but a few, all supported by a very knowledgeable commentary from Terry who was our fabulous tour guide. Lunch was delicious. Our favourite part was Bathsheba, with its spectacular views. The whole experience was worth every penny.

Cancelled at the last minute - We received a notice from the tour provider via what’s app at 11:15pm that the tour was cancelled for not having enough people. We didn’t realize it was cancelled until we were leaving the hotel at 8am. An earlier notice would have been nice and allow us to make other plans.
