Fun, knowledgeable and well worth the time and expense. - Kevin did a super job in showing us a 4.5 hour tour thru-out the island. We got to get a feel of the culture, the unique differing areas of the island and learned about the past. He made this a very personal to person enjoyable experience.

Great time in Barbados - Kevin was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He allowed us fully customize our trip and then made it possible to see everything we wanted to see within the allotted time. Seeing the monkeys at feeding time at the wildlife nature reserve was fantastic. They are literally within your reach, but definitely remember they are still wild animals. Great opportunity to make memorable pictures and videos with these remarkable creatures. After some great sightseeing along the wonderful West Coast of Barbados, we also stopped at Hunte’s Garden. If you like plants and trees, this is a wonderful stop. You can get lost in this place! It is a lush tropical paradise that Mr. Hunte created over many, many years. Definitely spend some time here. Too many things to list but definitely grab Kevin as your personal tour guide for this wonderful island.

Great private tour of Barbados - We were a little apprehensive about booking a private tour, but Kevin was great. He arrived on time, his people carrier was immaculate inside and out and he was dressed very smart. He asked if there was anywhere in particular we would like to visit, but we said we were happy for him just to decide. He took us around the island and we regularly stopped to admire the scenery, views or attractions. He explained everything as we travelled and answered all of our questions. The whole trip felt very relaxed and enjoyable.

Experience the island’s highlights from the comfort of a guided tour - From the moment we set off in our comfortable van with our driver Kevin, the journey was filled with nice views and interesting photo stops. One of our stops was National Heroes Square, where we learned about the history of Barbados and its heroes. The Parliament Buildings nearby showcases the architecture that reflects the island’s heritage. We also made our way to the Historic St. John’s Parish Church. One of the unique features of our trip was seeing the mushroom rocks. These natural formations were truly a sight to behold, a testament to the island’s geological wonders. Throughout the excursion, Kevin was exceptional. His knowledge and enthusiasm brought each location to life, and he ensured we were comfortable and well-informed throughout the journey. Overall, this scenic shore excursion was a nice way to explore the beauty and history of Barbados. I recommend it for anyone looking to experience the island’s highlights from the comfort of a guided tour.

Tour operator cancelled! - Tour operator cancelled the tour the night before after I messaged explaining the ship ports at 9am. I booked the “private customizable tour” so it was unclear why starting a 1/2 hour later would be a problem. The itinerary could have been easily adapted and shortened as we had nothing specific in mind to see. Additionally, this happened on Christmas Day when much of the city was closed and tour choices were limited. The good news is there were plenty of professional tour operators available at the port offering the same tour for 1/3 of the price! I’m still waiting on my refund.
