Deborah is an A1 tour guide and tourism professional! I had a great afternoon walking through Bridgetown, learning of its history and the history of Barbados in general, and because Deborah is known everywhere she goes I also meet some locals. She answered all of my questions, even if not on topic, and has awesome energy. COVID procedures followed and Deb does everything to keep her guests safe, engaged, and comfortable. She loves what she does and it shows. If you're in Barbados GO ON THIS TOUR.
2. The Speightstown Story - A Walking Tour
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
This tour takes you for a relaxing and informative stroll through the quaint town of Speightstown which is always awash with activity but somehow maintains its British colonial charm. Our tour package, which is tailored for small groups, is aimed at maximizing the authentic experience of a Speightstown tour through the eyes of an informed local. The most defining feature of Speightstown is the 17th century pre-colonial architecture. You will get to visit and learn the stories behind historic buildings that date back to the early settlements as you experience the sense of development that has taken place in the town which is evident by the integration of modern architecture. With forts lining the coasts of Barbados, one would expect that Little Bristol would also have its share of protection. You will also get to interact with the people of Speightstown. The wayside hawkers and rum shops are still very much a part of this town.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Personal audio device to hear the guide clearly, Headsets, Local guide, Snacks

I’m an adventurous foodie so to be honest I’d already tried many of the foods our guide Janelle introduced: Mauby, Flying Fish, Bajan baked chicken, sweet potato, etc. But it’s so much fun to discover what seem like “dives” or little hole-in-the-wall restaurants are actually institutions for the locals, learn what locals eat (and when), and be led around a new city. I never would have been able to discover the bustling center of food and commerce for everyday Bajans, and I wouldn’t have felt as comfortable there as I did after the tour. Our guide Janelle was super responsive and if she couldn’t answer a question she went and found someone who could. The tour was small (just 2 families) the day we went and it was about equally divided btw walking/history and eating (the walk was not very far though! In a good way). We started at 10:30 and we’re done around 2 and we stayed and shopped for about another hour. The tour ended with some amazing coconut ice cream from a place I never would have noticed. Overall I’d say the tour was on the expensive side (for a family) while Bajan food in general is very inexpensive, however it was a really fun, memorable day out and left us feeling like we had a better understanding of Bajan culture and the island, which is priceless.

Due to a cancellation, we enjoyed a personal tour with Theo from Coconut Tours. Theo picked us up from our hotel and immediately started telling us about the island as we made our way up the island. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, pointing out many things on our way to each destination. The tour was a great way to see the north point and Atlantic side as we didn’t feel comfortable driving ourselves and would never have known all of the great places to stop. The views were amazing as was the company. We took a couple of beverage breaks, and made a stop at Dina’s for a delicious lunch. We definitely recommend this tour if you have the time to spend. It was a full day but worth it. Thank you for a great day.

We spent 4 days in Brussels just before Christmas, returning home Christmas Eve. The markets were lovely,very busy and plenty of stalls. However, we were very disappointed in the lack of Christmas music that was played around all the markets. Even in the evening with all the lights and the number of people out there was still very little Christmas music being played. We had a day in Bruge and visited the markets there and still very little Christmas music. Being so near to Christmas being able to listen to Christmas songs would add to the atmosphere.
