Great walking tour with Karen ! - Excellent walking tour of Bridgetown with Karen, who takes time to explain the history of the island and is keen to reply to any questions. She is also very friendly and makes the 2hrs a great moment. Highly recommended.

An excellent tour - We really enjoyed Ruthann's tour! She was so knowledgeable, and gave us a lot of history and context about Barbados. She was very open to answering whatever questions we had. Would highly recommend if you're looking to learn more about Bridgetown and Barbados!

Information and interesting - Very informative and Kiann was an excellent guide. It is mostly in the sun, so be prepared with sunblock and a hat that ties under your chin (it’s windy and my hat blew off several times)

Very nice walk around... - Very nice walk around older area of Bridgetown - the walk is around 2 hours but area covered is quite small - lots of historical information on the way and things to see. Our guide Karen was very knowledgeable about the history but was also able to answer all ad hoc questions we had. Highly recommended!
