Are you craving a historical military-based adventure in Barbados? Have you ever wondered what military life was like during the colonial period? Then boy have I got a story for you! I was here to defend this gem of an island and it was nothing like what I would have expected as a soldier. My story is bittersweet, but nonetheless, has to be told. I want to tell you about the prison and the walk of shame I had to endure. About the services offered around the “Savannah” and all the joys that can be drawn from this area despite the hardships that have made it what it is. Join me by the Barbados Museum and Historical Society for a culturally rich journey into history. On this intriguing walking tour, I will show you the Garrison I lived in. The changes it has undergone. All the while paying homage to me by preserving my legacy.

Are you yearning for an authentic tour of Barbados? Look no further!! Let me show you the Speightstown I was born and raised in just as I remember it. For 2 hours, I would love to share my most treasured and intimate memories of travelling around the island with my father. Come explore the shores and forts with me as I share interesting facts only a local would know. Hear about the Father of Independence as we travel the quaint town to the “Bridge” and absorb in the beauty of ancient buildings as well as commercial and religious spaces of the beloved Bridgetown. 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. A little snack helps pass the time as you get a nibble of the sweetness that makes up the people known as Barbadians. We give you a sample of this rich town so that you can write your story “Once upon a time in Bridgetown...”

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.

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.

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. Ask Ahmed best local places to eat near where you are staying and if you like shopping ask he will point them out to you or even introduce you. Love it love it ???? ♥ (Alex, Anthony, Esi and Kɛkɛli).

We took this tour to get a good idea of the whole island of Barbados. We did! We enjoyed the tour, there were 8 of us in a minibus. Cindy was a great tour guide, giving current and historical information. We enjoyed the stops, varied scenery and the Plantation House. A great scenic tour, which was what we wanted.

Highly recommend Edmo. We stayed at a villa on Gibbs beach. Having walked to Mullins Beach and got Edmo’s card we were able to ring / message him to come and get us for some ski time. He is a good teacher - whilst we could all ski he was able to instruct on how to improve, he was also reliable in picking us up at the agreed time. Definitely recommend Edmo!

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!!
