We had a great time out with Ahmed. Had 2 boys one a teenager. Company was excellent, information was top class. Ahmed interacted with the children and included them by asking questions and addressing them. Even the youngest was engaged all the time spotting landmarks and map reading which a great sign of the success of the your and at end the day he was reeling off historic facts. Awesome.!!! Tye older child who actually lives on the island also found it really interesting because Ahmed tailored the your and info so thing he hasn't seen or know about were conveyed. That aside we the adults felt included and that is a testament to a hood your because its my tired visit to Barbados and despite covid-19 Ahmed showed us places I have not seen in previous 2 visits. A great ambassador for Barbados. Than you Ahmed. 100% recommend this tour.

Mike really knows his island well and was a wealth of knowledge! He was very friendly and adaptable (we had our 8month old son on tour with us we needed regular snack, toilet, crawl around stops.) The animal flower cave is a must see, the views on the east coast are amazing. During the tour mike stopped and got us various fruits that we would never have known what to do with without him. They were delicious even though they looked a little odd! What we loved most was that mike gave us choices over what we’d prefer to do in our timescale and it didn’t feel rushed in any way. We will definitely return!!

We really enjoyed our tour. Cindy is a great guide and is extremely knowledgeable. She has a great sense of humour and made us feel very welcome. The tour itself was a perfect length and we visited some great places. The wildlife sanctuary visit was timed perfectly as we got to see the feeding of the animals which was a great experience. Cindy even took the take to take us by some local food stores on the way back - she is brilliant :)

This place is imaginative, playful, calming, and thoroughly Caribbean. My children and I visited yesterday and spent a most pleasant early afternoon wandering around this magical space. I even managed to convince them to sit still for a while in a lovely corner of the garden and listen to the soothing sounds of nature (and some meditative music, which was nice). The diversity and health of the plants is impressive, as is the generosity of the owner/gardener Anthony Hunte. We sat and had a socially distanced chat with him, as he was happy to speak with all the visitors who came in for a visit. We will be back soon! We signed in at the front, used hand sanitiser at the beginning and were reminded to do so at the end after touching the handrails.

Are you yearning for an authentic tour of Barbados? Look no further!! Let me show you the Barbados I was born and raised in just as I remember it.

The shores and forts of Barbados have always made me giddy because of the immense pleasure I drew from them growing up. Come explore them with me as I share interesting facts only a local would know. I'd love to take you for a journey through history as we travel the quaint towns and absorb in the beauty of ancient buildings alongside modern architecture. Also get to interact with locals as we pass vendors in the streets as well as the famous Barbados rum shops. And not to mention the natural scenery, the breathtaking flora and fauna. Who knows, maybe we will see a monkey or two crossing the road!

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.

I wanted to see 2 gardens and couldn't find a tour so my Hotel activities desk contacted Dayne and he agreed to take me. He also had other folks in the van doing the caves and he managed to drop me off, then them, then take me to my next garden and so on all the while giving us tour information and driving with great excitement to get us all there on time. It was a great day and I'd do it again. Thanks Dayne
