Additional Information

Craving a genuine Barbadian experience? You’re in the right place!

Allow me to guide you through the Bridgetown of my childhood memories. I’m eager to spend 2 hours sharing the nostalgic moments from my countless journeys around the island with my father. Let’s discover the beaches and forts together, while I divulge insider knowledge that only a native would hold. Learn about Barbados’ founding father as we meander through the charming town towards the emblematic “Bridge”, immersing in the allure of historic structures, commercial areas and places of worship that make up our dear Bridgetown.

Additionally, mingle with the natives as we stroll by street vendors and popular rum shops of Barbados. Let’s not forget the stunning natural landscapes and unique flora and fauna. Savour a small bite of Barbadian hospitality to fill the hours, a teasing taste of the sweetness embodied in our people, the Barbadians. We let you dip your toes into our vibrant town so you can pen your own tale “Once upon a time in Bridgetown…”

Excellent heritage walking tour - Excellent tour. Our guide was great and answered all questions! The only problem we had was hearing him and that was not his fault. It was very windy which affected the mic and traffic was heavy!

Exotic vibrant and wonderful - Amazing tour had the nicest host ever and learnt so much about the historic city of Bridgetown and Barbados as a whole. I got goose bumps at the end when they said the national anthem by the historic bridge at the end "I pledge allegiance to my country Barbados and to my flag to uphold and defend their honour and by my living to do credit to my nation where ever I go*

Fun walking tour in Barbados - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Deborah who was friendly cheery and funny. We walked through downtown Barbados stopping at historic sites while Deborah gave us detailed history of the country. Great morning trip!

Very knowledgeable guide, and great overall customer service. - I was interested in booking the "development of a city" tour but the times and dates available didn't fit into my itinerary. I email Chattel tours and to my immense pleasure they were able to provide the tour for me at a different date/time at no extra charge. Alex was my private tour guide around Bridgetown for 2.5 hours and he was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and encouraged me to ask questions-and was able to answer them all! He was also funny. I took several excursions while in Barbados and this one was a great value and exceptional experience. Tours I payed nearly 3X the amount did not compare. I highly suggest this to anyone who has an interest in history and learning a little bit more about Bridgetown. Thanks Alex and thanks Chattel Tours!
