After reading reviews before we booked ,we knew we was in for a great day.And we weren’t disappointed.
As with all of our tours we first needed to touch base to mention my wife uses a manual wheelchair,which was no issue at all.
Our tour guide “Rooster” arrived ahead of time so no waiting to get going.We found his knowledge of Barbados to be incredibly interesting , and we learnt so much.
Highly recommended and would do again.

Our guide was very nice and picked us up at the cruise ship port and drove us around the island stopping at the flower cave and stopped for a couple pictures. It was a nice relaxing day. At the end he dropped two of us off for some beach time but drove my father in law back to the shop. We made our own way back to the ship later. Thanks for a nice visit to Barbados.

You’re welcome Christopher. We hope you’ll be back to visit again sometime soon but maybe spend some more time here.
Shelley_R, Jan 2026
We were staying at a resort so didn’t have a chance to experience the culture of Barbados. Our guide lived here most of his life so was extremely knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and customized the trip to what we were interested in.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks Shelley for you lovely review. We hope you will be back to visit us again soon.

What a great historical experience! We would definitely do it again! So interesting and informative!
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Yes, a brithday celebration on a private tour is the way to go. Glad you had a great day. We hope you will be back to visit us again soon.
James_M, Dec 2025
Scott was very informative and he was a great guide. He took us around the island and showed us a great time.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for writing a review of your private tour with Scott. We hope you will be back to visit us again soon.
Robin_C, Nov 2025
Our tour guide Scott was very friendly, knowledgeable about Barbados and provided us with a great tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks Robin for writing a review of your Private tour with Scott. We hope to see you again.
Ameesha_M, May 2025
Our tour was perfect! We had great details about the island, the tour guide was very knowledgeable! Barbados is so beautiful and I’m glad he took us to see some amazing views.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you Ameesha for your “perfect” review. Scott enjoyed showing you Barbados! Hope you will be back soon again.
debmccroskey, Jan 2025
We needed a 4-hour tour after getting off a ship which would drop us off at the airport and hold our luggage. This tour was perfect. Scott drove us around the island to various interesting areas. We even stopped at a rural local corner store for sandwiches. Scott knows so much about the island's history; we definitely got a great picture of Barbados.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
You certainly made the most of a very short time on the island. Thanks for writing a review. Hope to see you again soon.

Scott went above and beyond and made our day trip to Barbados magical. Do not look at other tours, this is the one!!
We booked the private tour of Barbados for our family of 4. Scott reached out beforehand through WhatsApp and asked us where we were interested in going. The morning of, he texted and asked what time we would like to start the tour and gave us detailed directions and picture of where he was picking us up at the Cruise Terminal.
The van he picked us up was very clean and the A.C. temperature was perfect. He had a headset that was connected to the speaker so we could hear clearly all of his narration while he drove us around. He knew everything about the island and we loved his narration. Our 4 & 6 year olds are very chatty and loud. Scott was very patient and even had some children topics.
We wanted to go to Animal Flower Cave. Scott told us he will check to see if it was open because the day before the waves were too big so the caves were closed. Luckily the ocean was calm that day and we throughly enjoyed the caves. The tickets (2024) were $20USD for adults and $10 for kids. Kids 5 and under are free.
We passed by Rihanna’s home and many other rich and famous people’s homes. Scott let us stop at scenic spots and helped us take great family photos.
Previously we wanted to go to Carlisle Bay but Scott asked us if we wanted to go to a quieter beach instead. We loved the quiet beach. The water was calm and our kids had a blast.
We loved everything about our tour. Thank you Scott!!
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Scott says you’re welcome. He had a great day with you all as well. And it’s true about the pictures. Hope you will join us again for another tour.
Elizabeth_S, Oct 2024
Scott was a great guide! We learned so many things about the island. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thanks for the review. I heard you had a fabulous time on your Customized private tour. Hope we will see you again in Barbados.
SHANEQUA_B, May 2024
We had a great time on our tour. The information about the island was so detailed and we felt like we learned so much! Highly recommend!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for the review. Hope we will see you again in Barbados. We have so much more still to show you.
Marilyn_P, Apr 2024
Best Ride Ever! Trust me choose Evrick.
Our driver Evrick provided us with such great insights about Barbados. And made sure we saw all the best spots.
Response from Host, May 2024
Do you mean everton? His name is a bit unusual. Sounds like you had a fantastic day tour Barbados. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
Tim_S, Apr 2024
We had an amazing day with Scott! So much so that we hired him a 2nd time a week later! He is a true gentleman who graciously showed us around his beautiful island. He brought Barbados’ history, people, culture, and scenery to life all with an amazing sense of humor. The van was spacious and comfortable. Everything was perfect. What a lucky find!! Let Scott customize a tour of Barbados for you like he did for us. You will be thankful you did!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
"What a lucky find!!", indeed!Without a doubt, we are expecting a call from you on your next visit. Regards!
Pat_C, Mar 2024
We wanted to get an overview of the Island. Our guide listened to what we wanted and scheduled our tour accordingly. He gave us a narrated tour as we went along and he pointed out all the points of interest he thought we would like. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Fabulous. Thanks for the review, Pat. On our private tours, we don't just give you a driver but instead a trained and knowledgeable guide to escort you around the island. Hope to see you again on the island.
Barb_f, Feb 2024
Dexter our guide was awesome...we had a terrific tour of the island and learned lots.
Wildlife reserve was a highlight¡
We'd definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks for the recommendation. Dexter is a great guide, very knowledgeable and sticks to a time plan.
Phil_G, Jan 2024
Drove to most if not all the destinations we 1st experienced back in the 80’s. A lot has changed but our guide helped to take us back to where my wife & I took our 1st international trip! PanAm no longer flies and we didn’t have a moke but it was still great!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Oh wow, you just took me back to when i was 10 years old. Thanks for the flashback! ha! Don't take so long to visit us again, hope to see you soon.
Cassie_W, Dec 2023
I can’t recommend enough, Rooster gave us a fantastic last day in Barbados. He was very informative and he managed to squeeze in a couple of extra stops. We visited the monkeys and Harrison’s Caves.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like Rooster provided a great experience for you.
Francine_S, Apr 2023
A great tour starts with a great tour guide and to be perfectly honest, I couldn’t wait for the tour to finish. Our guide dpent 3/4 of his time fiddling with the microphone that kept going in and out. And the guide wasn’t very knowledgeable and inappropriate as he tried to pick up a bridesmaid during a wedding at Huntes Garden. Not very professional at all. I regret spending that much money on this private tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
All the microphones and headsets are all changed out. So that problem is solved. Sorry this tour was not up to its usual standard. Please give us a call when you are visiting next. Thank you for taking the time to write your review.

Three seniors (one unable to walk, in a power wheelchair) had a great 4-hour circuit tour of Barbados yesterday with Troy. We were 45 minutes late to show up and there was Troy, still waiting for us. He informed us then that the rate for extending the tour was $75/hr and that we were down to 3hrs and 15 minutes of our prebooked time. We said that was no problem and asked him to show us as much of the island as he could - and that we would have no problem if we had to extend an hour (or more) since it was our fault we were so late. We chose not to get out of the van at all, except for a lunch at a local restaurant across from the east coast surfing beach. He lifted the 60 pound power wheelchair in and our of the van (4 heavy lifts in 4 hours).
We were impressed that he listened to our comments and often referred back to them, "As Nancy was saying earlier," and "Bob, I think you'd like this."
He was well informed about the island and told us if he couldn't answer a question right away, he would look up the answer when we stopped. He was well versed on many topics: history, dates, flora and fauna, aviation, current events. He told us he had always been good at maths, and we were amazed that he could quickly calculate how many years ago each event occurred and how old each building was.
We all (2 women, 1 man) appreciated his company at lunch and probably asked too many personal questions, but he was honest and gracious about answering them.
Kudos, Troy (and Raquel & Rooster) for a great tour!
Nancy, Bob and Georgiana
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you Nancy, Bob and Georgiana. Glad that you connected so well with Troy and that you enjoyed your very personable private tour with him. We hope you will be back to join us on another tour, there is still so much to see. Regards.
John_H, Feb 2023
The driver and guide was the best of any tour we had in the Caribbean. Very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thank you!!!
Gary_S, Dec 2022
We had a great tour. Scott was so knowledgeable and personable. We discussed our interests before we arrived and we got just what we wanted and more. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Dec 2022
Thanks for the kind review. we hope to see you again.
darrinballard, Apr 2022
Scott is AWESOME! Worth every penny for a private tour of a beautiful island. Soooooo much better than the expensive cruise shore excursions.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Thank you for taking the time to review. I have to agree with you, a private tour is often the best way to go especially if you are travelling in a group. Hope to see you again.
Joanna_C, Mar 2022
A great way to start a vac. Troy, our guide, was knowledgeable about nature and history as well as helping us narrow down what was most important for our interests. He knew the best spots for photo ops, too. If you want to get a great overview of this lovely island, this is the best. I wouldn’t hope to see as much if we took time to go into the attractions, so we chose to do shorter pit stops in order to go back another day based on impression and interest. St Johns Church, Bathsheba Beach, North Point Cliffs by the Animal Flower cave , sugar mill by Cherry Hill, St Nicholas Abbey Historic RR, and the finale -free tasting at award winning Foursquare rum factory
Troy was accommodating, polite, knowledgeable. Highest recommendation
Mike_B, Mar 2022
The roaster was great and saw everything we wanted to see
Highly recommended.
Thanks so much for the tour on this beautiful island.
Jean_C, May 2024
Nous avons fait un excellent tour. Nous avons vu les différentes facettes de l'île. La capitale ou résident des gens à l'aise ainsi que la partie agricole de l'île, Le guide nous a bien informé de l'histoire et des us et coutumes de ses habitants. Nous avons vu des paysages magnifiques. Le guide nous demandait ce que nous voulions voir et nous accordait le temps. Nous avons pu nous baigner quelques minutes dans la mer des Caraibes. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ce tour. et cela grâce au guide.
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for writing a review. We will certainly arrange another trip for you with the same guide on your next trip.
Marc_L, Feb 2023
Guide/chauffeur super cool. A l’écoute du client. Troy connaît très bien son sujet. Même si il ne s’exprime qu’en anglais nous avons passé un très bon moment.
