The Best of Bridgetown - Loved our tour with guide Radavea(sp). We learned so much about the history, culture, Bajan Pride and resilience, at each of 18 stops. Answered our questions, good discussions and lots laughter! And a cold Banks to celebrate at end of best tour.

Great tour! - Interesting history and fantastic tour! My guide was Radavie. She did a fantastic job and provided a comprehensive history complemented with personal experience. We were chatting like old friends!
Flat terrain, easy walking. Wear comfy walking shoes. Bring sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. They provide a cute little portable backpack with a small snack and water. Keep shoulders covered to prevent sunburn. I enjoyed this tour!

Great Tour and Great Value for Money - Excellent walking tour. Lots of interesting facts covering a really broad range of subjects. Radavie was a perfect guide and such a nice person as well.
At the start of the tour they give you a 'goodie bag' (cheap backpack) that has some snack food and water in it. That's a nice touch. (See pic.)
We already had a litre of water with us and then received another litre. If we'd known we would have arrived without our water.
Take the option of the morning tour.

Important tour - a must in our opinion - Zachary was an incredibly knowledgable guide. We absolutely loved the walking tour and felt like we really got to know more about the history not only of the city, but also of Barbados. We always feel you cannot visit a place without knowing the history of where you're going and this tour helped us achieve just that! Would absolutely recommend. We went on a Sunday, but to get the full Bridgetown experience, we would recommend going Mon-Sat, as the city sees Sunday as a day of rest (rightly so), so we weren't able to go into certain spots or see the city in it's full bustling nature. It was still a fantastic experience regardless though!

Take the morning tour, afternoon is way to hot for a walkabout. - Nice day out around the town. Pleasant stroll around old part of the town where you see old colonial buildings and community life. Visiting the Parliament building was very interesting. Prepare to engage with friendly locals who fistbump everyone. The Caribbean drums music band during lunchtime was very good. Tour guide could be a bit more cheerful, he sounded as if he was having an argument with his mother in law whenever someone asked him something.
