Brilliant experience - The tour was brilliant and perfect for a couple of hours. Karen ,our guide was superb. A bubbly, friendly lady with an amazing knowledge of Bridgetown and Barbados. She gave time to take pictures and explain things in more detail if you needed it. If you want to know the history of the place this tour is a must. We would wholly recommend this tour.

Historical Walking tour of Bridgetown - Karen is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable and she encourages guests to ask questions. Also, she is very good at spotting wildlife (turtles, and a monkey). I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour with her and learned a lot about Bridgetown's history. I highly recommend this tour.

Walking tour of Bridgetown Barbados with Karen - We had the walking tour with Ruthann Discovery Tours, Karen was our guide and she was wonderful. She did not rush us and made sure we understood what she was telling us. Karen was informative, polite, and courteous and always interesting. I would highly recommend this tour and make you ask for Karen you will get a real feel for Barbados. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of History - On a walking tour in Bridgetown, you would discover many historical areas of interest, part of the World Heritage Society from Heroes square, Independence square to Freedom Village...newly upgraded and its environs...lots of history here from the beginning of the slave trade to other activities centuries ago, the new addition Golden Square has all the relics of times of old of how far the country has come, items you may otherwise see in a museum, a wall of indigenous surnames of the people and they're many with the same last name, an area that is chilled by locals and national events is held here.

Shocking - Nothing was memorable- it just didn't happen. We were advised of a pick up point at the Port, waited 45 minutes- had several awful phone calls and gave up. 32% heat no shade. Tour operator couldn't phone us back as apparently had no credit. Now we have a refund of £24 but paid £44.. Sadly this experience has put us off Viator having had a great previous experience on a taxi tour..
