Exceptional tour guide - Karen was excellent guide and very pleasant to go with! Karen was suppose to give me an email address for Mr. Altman, who may be a relative of mine. Are you able to give her my email address or cell number so I can get the information?

Great insight into Barbados history - Karen our guide was really knowledgeable and engaging. We all really enjoyed our tour. We particularly appreciated the background history of the island along side the history of the garrison.

Dissapointing - The tour involved a walk around the outside of the Savanna horse race track, where a number of run down buildings were pointed out and we inspected some very old canons. We expected to go into the drill hall, tunnels and museum. But were expected to pay extra for these. The tour was also double the price of booking direct with the Garrison. Our guide was helpful but offered no more than if we had walked around by ourselves. Overall a very poor experience.
