Top 6 Historical & Heritage Tours in Bermuda, Bermuda

July 19, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Don’t be fooled by Bermuda’s small size; this 21-square-mile Atlantic island is big on history, personality and charm, from pink-sand beaches to historic forts. It’s known for aquatic adventures like shipwreck scuba diving, cliff jumping and deep-sea fishing. On land you’ll find an eclectic island culture of vibrant neighborhoods, brightly colored shorts and delicious fish chowder.

First, I am remiss about my lack of timely review; I just found the business card in some old papers. I HAVE to recommend this tour however, so EVERYONE will have the chance of a lifetime like my wife and I did. The owner/operator, Khy Burgess, was masterful at instruction and operation of the Segway. We were first timers, and were literally petrified at the thought. At my age (67), falls and broken bones don’t seem to heal as quickly. Khy had us up and practicing turns in less than five minutes! He then took us on what can only be described as a private tour of “his” island. Totally off the beaten tourist trail, we wound through various beach sites, homes and resort areas, and even a little “back country”. With plenty of stops (your legs might get tired from standing), we were able to enjoy Khy’s clever rapport and marvelous history of the island. From start to finish, we were gone about 1.5 hours. What a GRAND way to see and experience the island. Don’t miss this!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Mark O'Connell (aka O.C.). It was a great way to spend what turned out to be a rainy day. The tour gave us exposure to eight different establishments in just a few short hours. We went back to two of them the following day for full meals and enjoyed a discount at one of them thanks to the tour. Mark was fun and extremely informative, a delightful guide.

The location was only a short ride from Hamilton, and the driver was friendly. Upon arrival, I learned about the traditional meal that Bermudians enjoy on Sundays and was able to see how it was prepared. I appreciated the history and the friendly conversation. My hosts made me feel welcome in their home. I would recommend this for someone who wants to see the difference between dining with a local versus going to breakfast at a restaurant.
