Karen is the best! - Karen was terrific. Such a command of the history of Bridgetown and Barbados. Her informal style allowed for deeper conversation around any topic. If you are fortunate enough to be on one of her tours you will have such a better appreciation for Barbados. Thank you Karen.

Lots of interesting history and great pictures of landmarks - Got wonderful information and sight seeing from our tour guide. She was friendly, interactive and so considerate as well as knowledgeable. If you like to know where is where and what is what and why it’s like that, this is a great tour to do. It will help you navigate the area on your own if you decide to come back and help you find the best places to shop and eat.
