I booked a Karting experience with Bushy Park on Jan 2nd, initially it was supposed to be at 11am. I was contacted by Dillon (manager/staff member I assume) a few days before the booking to ask if it would be OK for us to reschedule until 2:30 because they had another booking which I agreed to. On the day we were scheduled to come Dillon again called me to inform me that we would have to cancel the booking because all of the other groups booked for that day had cancelled and as such they told the staff not to come to work. I am extremely disappointed by this poor and substandard customer service. I have done the go-karting once before and enjoyed it but I doubt I am ever going back after this. It is a complete and utter disregard for peoples' time. After rescheduling once, to accommodate the business, to then cancel us for the aforementioned reason is appalling. You have a good product but the customer service (as so often is the case in Barbados unfortunately) need serious improvement.

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.

We used Sweet life tours for our airport transfers during COVID. Billy was amazing!! He followed protocols to a t!! Temp checks, sanitation, seating arrangements were all as outlined by the government. The vehicle was spacious and extremely clean. They even did supermarket runs for us while we were in quarantine. Billy is friendly, funny and extremely knowledgeable. We will used sweet life tours over and over during our stay in Barbados. Absolutely fantastic service and very professional

You won’t understand Barbados from your resort. Get out with Scott (born & bred Bajan) in his air conditioned minibus and bluetoothed headset to learn about flora, fauna, history, society, religion, culture, geography, food (lunch included), climate, drink (a free rum punch, proper stuff) and anything else that you want know. If you want to see sea-eroded caves, windmills for crushing sugar cane, appreciate race tracks (horses and cars), understand how many variety of snakes live in the island, why houses are built the way they are, how to plant banana trees, how letters get delivered where there are no addresses, why breadfruit might be the cash crop of the future, despite Non-Disclosure Agreements who’s doing what to who, Scott’s yer man. Not interested in who Abramovich visits, where Princess Margaret’s house was, why people dumped their rubbish on top of Quakers’ family vaults, where they banged up Jerry Hall in the cells, why the largest Jewish cemetery in the Caribbean is in Bridgetown, how many polo fields there are on Barbados, why Simon Cowell’s and Andrew Lloyd Weber’s houses went down the pan, why you need to know much sugar has been added to the rum you are buying, why the Bajan Prime Minister and the Greek Royal Family are buried in different directions in the same churchyard, get someone to check your temperature again cos you’re probably no longer with us. For USD87, buy yourself an education about the Island or just sit back and enjoy the different geography of the Island’s parishes.

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 a private tour similar to the "Beautiful Barbados" tour GloryTours offers on their website, and were very satisfied and truly enjoyed the day. Our driver made every effort to put us at ease, offered possibilities for activities, and we could stop and take our time as needed. We started with a tour through Bridgetown, then heading north along the Platinum coast, with some short stops on the way. Around noon we arrived at Animal Flower Cave, which was nice (and not difficult) to visit. As it was a bit crowded there, we asked whether we could have lunch at a later stage, and he selected a wonderful remote restaurant for us, Chill`n Breeze, which was located on its own at the Eastern coast, run by an old and very friendly couple and providing excellent food. From there we drove towards Bathsheba, where we could spend nice time walking on the beach and looking at the beautiful landscape, before slowly going back to our hotel in Worthing. We would definitely choose GloryTours again if we come back.
