We had a great private tour with Stewart. He went to the places we wanted to see and suggested some other places as well during our time slot. Enjoyed seeing Cherry Tree Hill, Animal Flower Cave, a wildlife refuge, and going through some coastal towns. Communication was easy with Yvette. Would definitely book again!

Yvette was very easy to communicate with before our trip. She was on time, had a clean, reliable vehicle, and was very accommodating! We picked a few of our "must see" destinations, and she was very informative and a pleasure to be with. It was a great 1/2 day tour!

Kristin_L, Mar 2026
Prior to the tour, I provided a list of locations we'd like to visit. We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Stewart. He is a native Bajan and accommodated every request on the itinerary. He was very knowledgeable and took us to the perfect locations for photos at every stop. He suggested a wonderful place for lunch towards the end of our tour (Dina's), and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Dawn_C, Feb 2026
Great tour with Yvette, very Friendly and knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend

The tour was informative...

britt_a, Feb 2026
The tour was informative and the tour guide was friendly. However my experience with the tour operator management was awful! Due to a mix up in meeting spot management handling of the matter was nothing short of unprofessional, belligerent and accusatory! Never again!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your review.... Our reply will help other persons not make your same mistake. You put cruise port as your pick point on the booking form. When you were contacted by the office and given your pick up time at the cruise port you said you were not at the cruise port you were at Beach View Hotel, you were told that you will be picked up at Beach View Hotel. On the day of the tour the driver was at Beach View Hotel half an hour before the pick up time. You went to reception requested a taxi to take you to the cruise port and she saw when you left after the fact when the receptionist describe what you were wearing. The driver had to drive half an hour to catch up with you up at the cruise port. When she got to the cruise port you were nowhere to be found the office called your phone a few times and you didn't answer, the driver was about to drive back to Beach View Hotel to see if you had taken a taxi back to the hotel since now it's half an hour after the pick up time for the tour. The office eventually got through to you and you said that you were by the port gates, the office said to you to go into the middle of the round about and they will call the driver and let her know your location. The office had to contact her quickly so she didn't drive back to the Beach View Hotel. On the day of the tour you went over your four hours with no compensation for the driver and her time. She spend a half and hour trying to locate you and the an additional hour over your paid four hours. I hope when persons read this they will understand that if you can not put on your booking form where you are saying there is a section that has comments that you can put where you are staying and don't put where you are not staying and then drive to that point when you were clearly told that you will be picked up at you hotel or if you are unsure about the pick up point call the number on the booking for clarification.

Great Driver and Custom Tour.

Michelle_F, Feb 2026
This was exactly what we wanted. Our driver was on time, very personable and fun. He even treated us to a fresh rum coconut. I highly recommend.

Great tour in the beautiful Barbados!

Denise_B, Feb 2026

Barbados Tour

Peyton_G, Feb 2026
Danny was amazing, he took us to see so many beautiful places and we learned so much about the history of Barbados and the people!

Excellent private tour.

RobertKent_F, Feb 2026
This was our first visit to Barbados. Our driver, Terry, was wonderful. He listened to our request to focus on the beaches and rural areas, and took us all over the island. He answered all of our questions about the economy, school system, demographics, environmental policies of the government etc. In short, we had a most engaging visit. Thank you for giving us a wonderful tour of your beautiful island. We will be back!

Wonderful half-day tour!

Alan_B, Jan 2026
Pre-excursion communication was excellent. The driver/tour guide picked us from the cruise terminal up at the scheduled time and dropped us off at the airport in sufficient time to catch our flight.

Ellen_D, Jan 2026
Donnovan picked us up on time and had a nice itinerary planned. Great tour, flexible, visited small, local spots. Easy to work with; would use again. Thank you!

Flexible Optimal Island Hopper

Jim_E, Jan 2026
Great way to see island highlights. Peter was flexible with the trip itinerary. We stopped for as long as desired at each stop.

Have a chillax time

Andrew_K, Jan 2026
We prefer not to overly plan our tours and rely on our guide to show us more than the typical tourist experiences. This was one that met our expectations perfectly. Terry was great at being a “let me show you around my town guy”. And was extremely informative. Also they do an excellent job with communication before, during and after the experience.

Exactly what we asked for

Susan_J, Jan 2026
We had a private tour with Yvette and she planned the route according to our requested stops. We visited the beautiful Animal Flower Cave, the Abbey and other stops. She re-routed us around a traffic jam and was an overall very pleasant host.

Great tour of the island....

Peter_B, Jan 2026
Great tour of the island. Very knowledgeable, treats guests respectfully — Pete was a lot of fun! Enjoy!

A must do when visiting Barbados

Michael_A, Jan 2026
Our tour guide in Barbados was exceptional, fulfilling every promise made in their posting and exceeding our expectations in countless ways. Not only did they ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience, but their vast knowledge provided invaluable insights that truly enhanced our journey.

Seeing Barbados your way.

JennyC_W, Jan 2026
A customized tour for the two of us was a great way to go. We had a knowledgeable driver/guide. Unfortunately the tour took longer than expected because of poor road conditions.

Barbados adventure

Karen_B, Jan 2026
Donovan was a great guide! He took us to all the local spots we would’ve missed on our own, and took us to a local place for lunch.

Highly Recommend!

Tavious_P, Dec 2025
This experience was definitely a favorite. Our driver Stewart was the absolute best. He was accommodating, paid attention to detail, and very friendly and would change course if we desired to (we didn’t, but he fact that he was willing to made all the difference). We got the chance to do all we wanted and then some. I would highly recommend this tour and even our driver Stewart!

Outstanding

Geraldine_S, Dec 2025
We had a wonderful day on Barbados. I am interested in history and also wanted to see some spectacular scenery. This tour was perfect. We were picked up at the cruise terminal and our guide could not have been better. I’m always disappointed if I don’t learn something and this experience did not disappoint. From busy Bridgetown to the stunning Bathsheba shore—-what a beautiful place

Reliable and well-informed guide. Great service

Denise_R, Dec 2025
I look for ward to using the services of this agency again. There were a few assorted sights I wanted to see in Barbados, and they knew the most efficient way to work it out. Any question I had, this guide Terry gave an articulate, precise and well thought out answer. Very refreshing. We asked to see Harrison’s Cave which we did, but Terry also knew other things to do I. The area that filled out the day and made it very rewarding. We are grateful for the kind service.

Great Barbados Experience!

George_C, Dec 2025
Great way to experience Barbados with our guide Pete! He knows his island and showed as well as shared a ton of information. We had a great time exploring monkeys at the reserve, checking out the view at Scotlands, beachin' it at Bathsheeba, and ending with a stroll through Hunte's Gardens. Pete made our day filled with the sites and experiences of Barbados. Highly recommend this tour and...of course....Pete! Ya'man!

Best Rainy Day in Barbados

Patricia_F, Dec 2025
Danny provided us an amazing experience in Barbados. It was a rainy morning so he was very flexible with the pickup time at the port. He drove us all over the island and showed us so many cool and local spots. I can't recommend him enough if you need a driver while visiting Barbados. They have the best drinks at The Tiki Bar. We will definitely be back.

We asked to see the...

Gillian_K, Dec 2025
We asked to see the island, caves and monkeys. Finding our driver was a bit difficult, but once we did he took good care of us. Drove along the coast line to a coral cave with beautiful views. Then we went on to a wildlife sanctuary to see the monkeys and other animals. Than a safe return to port.

Best Tour of Barbados and Bridgetown

Richard_L, Dec 2025
Wonderful tour of Barbados with expert Yvette who made everything so comfortable and easy trip. Also met many locals and her family too.

Lovely Highlights Tour

Elane_R, Nov 2025
This was a lovely tour of the highlights of Barbados. We enjoyed Jacoby and the information about the island and its culture. We have not been to Barbados before and it gave us a nice overview of the island. We also had time to get out and look around at some shops that we were interested in, etc. We very much enjoyed this private tour.

The private tour was given by Yvette, who was extremely knowledgeable about the island, listened to what we were interested in seeing, and is a very safe driver. We highly recommend this company!
