Great tour - The tour of Bridgetown was great. Karen was an absolutely fabulous guide. She knew all the history and everything about Barbados. She speaks very clear English, answers any questions, and is a joy to be around. After the tour, she even took us back to get spices at the market and then got us back to the taxi service. She goes above and beyond.

Interesting personal tour - This was such a great tour particularly as it was just myself on it! After visiting Barbados for many years, this was a first time event and I learnt quite a lot! My guide Karen was exceptionally knowledgeable and historical facts came thick and fast. She was so patient with many questions being asked and she could answer mostly without hesitation. 4.00pm was a good time to take the tour as the heat of the day had lessened so walking through Bridgetown was a more pleasant experience. So much to see and to take in involving buildings of all ages with so much history attached. I could exchange some information of my own regarding different time periods and events and what I had always believed were historical facts. Thank you Karen, it was a pleasure.

Great walking tour - Really interesting walking tour. Our guide, Karen, shared a lot of history about Bridgetown and Barbados and how it developed to what it is today. It was great to find out the history of buildings you might just walk past otherwise. Highly recommend this tour.

A Must Do - Karen was an amazing guide! She had a thorough knowledge of all things Barbados and gave a detailed history all the way back to its beginning in the 1600s! She was thorough in her explanations and did an amazing job guiding us through the history of the island and we felt as if this wasn’t even our first time visiting!

- We had the pleasure of touring with Karen, and she was an absolute legend. Her sense of humour kept things light and fun, and she was always happy to answer any questions. She gave a really clear explanation of the history of Barbados, which helped put things into perspective and made the experience even more meaningful. We explored the historical sites of Bridgetown, and she had some really interesting stories about each place. Would highly recommend!!

Weather was too hot and assistance was lacking. - We signed up for the tour while since in the U.S. I did not anticipate the weather to be quite so hot. We waited 45 mins. For the tour guide since we had arrived early. We also had to wait for the remaining family to arrive. When the tour started there was no shade and I eventually became sick due to the weather. The tour guide provided no assistance other than providing her telephone number to my friend. We had to make it back to our resort by ourselves. I was disappointed.
