Julian did a great job.... - Julian did a great job. He catered the day around our goals, helped us fit everything in, and took us to a great spot for lunch. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see Barbados.

Great Tour Guide! Choose your stops carefully and you won't be disappointed. - Julian was great! Took us everywhere we requested to go and joined us for lunch at a fantastic restaurant. Make sure you plan out your trip in advance and try to choose things in the same area/ coast, so that you can make the best use of the service. It takes a long time to drive around the island, due to traffic and road conditions. Depending on what you choose to do you may not be able to get everything in that you planned.

SEE THE ISLAND!! - Jullian was a great tour guide, taking us to the destinations we requested which were:
Hunte’s Garden
Animal Flower Cave
Cherry Tree Hill
And stopped at several of the beaches, then he joined us for lunch at a local Bajan restaurant. We would love to see the company purchase a new vehicle for him! With the poor quality of roads, we had a slight worry that his car would leave us stranded! lol.

Needs improvement- could be great, but not there yet. - I read through all of the reviews before I booked this, and I was hoping that the earlier reviews were the most accurate, but we found that the newer reviews were more in alignment with our experience. Julian was very nice, and we did see a couple of beaches and drove through the city, but we really felt like we paid a lot of money for a glorified taxi service. He showed up late, even after I confirmed the time the day before. He was on his phone, either calling or texting for much of the time. I understand that people may need to make calls, but he had an hour to do that when we were at the caves. It was at the point where I felt bad trying to ask a question, because he was on the phone. He stopped at a gas station to pick up water or pop, but we told him not to bother, as that would take more time away. But, I feel like when you advertise those things, they should already be in the car. My husband wanted to go to the distillery, and Julian didn’t know it was closed, until we got there. Our friends got tours and cabs for $25 a person, and I think they did more than we did. For the amount of time we had with this tour, I really feel like much of it was wasted. I went back and forth about writing this review, because he really is a nice guy, and I think he could be a great tour guide, but there are definitely things that need improvement, and it definitely was not worth what we paid, by any means.

Nice Island, disappointing tough - Tour was decent, and Jason was friendly enough. However, tour was not what we booked.
Our pickup time was changed from 9:00 to 9:30 with only a Viator notification sent at 7:45 day of. Then Jason didn’t show up until 9:45.
Several of the attractions we wanted to see were closed on Monday (?). Not Jason’s fault, but still frustrating, especially since we didn’t find out until we arrived.
Jason was friendly and nice enough, but not overly informative. This was our first trip to Barbados and we wanted the islands History, etc. He tried, but it was obvious he didn’t know a lot of details. He answered questions, but rarely volunteered much additional information.
Tour was supposed to include drinks, snack, and WiFi. None of these were available/offered.

Poor organisation spoils what could have been a great tour - Unfortunately the tour was spoilt by a complete lack of organisation. Months ago, as requested by the advert, we selected 5 of the possible 24 places to visit and we organised to be picked up at our hotel at 9.30 am. At 8.50am I got a call to saying that we needed to be picked up at 9.00 am or we would miss our first appointment (Harrison’s Cave Tour). We rushed to get ready at the pick up point by 9.10 am, but no tour guide, he eventually arrived at 9.40! Then it was quite clear that our tour guide hadn’t a clue where we were going (other than Harrison’s Cave). Once we had informed him where we were going he said that we couldn’t go to the Mount Gay Rum Distillery Tour because it would take too long and in any case it hadn’t been booked. He did try to to rectify the situation, but in trying he forced us to spend a ridiculously short time at St Nicholas Abbey (we managed to see two rooms and none of the grounds) and then didn’t manage to get us into the Mount Gay tour anyhow! His boss did eventually get us into another distillery tour (which was very good) but by then the damage was done. Finally, the advert says that soft drinks, beers and rum punch are available in the car/van and are included in the price. In reality there were none. We asked the tour guide for a small bottle of water once, which he got us, but there was nothing else offered across the 9 hours of the tour! Two stars may be generous!

WORST PRIVATE TOUR EVER - Our private guide was the worst. The car smelled marijuana, and had to keep the windows down instead of the AC, because it was making me nauseous. We made the best of it, but the guide did not seem to know where he was doing or what he was doing, and that made us UNCOMFORTABLE. Because of this experience, Barbados has been my worst experience.
