Excellent and informative tour! - Debbie was great, from answering my questions ahead of the tour, to helping arrange transportation from the ship, to her knowledge and flexibility during the actual tour. We were traveling with an elderly relative, who is still quite mobile, and Debbie helped to ease my concerns before booking. She picked us up at the ship terminal, and we visited the museum. Debbie let us check out the well-documented exhibits at our own pace, and then led us through the outdoor exhibits, providing additional information and history. She provided us with water and light snacks. She was able to provide context to what we were seeing as we walked around the garrison, as many of the historical buildings have been repurposed as office buildings, businesses, or private homes. I would absolutely book another tour with this group! Excellent!

A great tour. - A great tour. I had never realized all the history of Barbados. It was very interesting to learn the influence of the British and the parts the local militia played in the development of the island. The museum was very worthwhile.
