Had a lovely time on the tour. Learned a lot about Barbados and its history. Good balance between spending time outside and in an air-conditioned car. Thank you!

An excellent tour. Our guide Shane was brilliant throughout . The food was great and the rum tour was a real highlight.

Excelllent tour. Guide responsive. Knowledgeable. Even rum factory was okay.
Nice vehicle. Timing good.
Steve_P, Mar 2026
Places visited were good. Lunch was excellent. Driver/guide could have been more informative on what we were seeing and places we visited. Driver
was not the most friendly person
Monica_L, Mar 2026
Omar was an excellent tour guide and driver. Very prompt. Our guide at Mount Gay, Akil, was very entertaining and excellent for teaching us how to taste rum.
Derek_J, Mar 2026
Our guide (Kwami) was knowledgeable and very informative.
I would have given a 5 star rating if the lunch had been edible, however the shallow fried fish was mostly raw.
Christine_B, Feb 2026
A great tour- our guide Omar was very informative and we really enjoyed our day touring around with him.
We booked the Barbados highlights and rum tour and had expected to go on a tour of the Mount Gay distillery but in fact we went to the visitor centre but this was still enjoyable.
The only part of the day that we didn’t enjoy was the lunch - the setting was nice but the food wasn’t great. Apart from that I would recommend though.
Crystal_B, Feb 2026
So much fun and such a relaxing way to spend the day. Mt Gay rum experience was decent; we did this at the end of the tour around the island.
Lynne_K, Feb 2026
Excellent tour guide, Steven. We were picked up promptly at our property. Many interesting places and good information. Air-conditioned, new van. Delicious full meal lunch included. Informative tour with tastings at the rum company. All very good.
Joseph_T, Feb 2026
Only enjoyable portion was visit to Mt Gay. Very little info given while visiting the attractions. Far too much uneventful bus travel.
pam_d, Feb 2026
The tour is a great way to get the view of Barbados. We went all the way around the island saw a few parishes, both towns, Bridgetown, and the hole town. We had a little fun seeing Rihanna‘s house she was born in and then the fancy Neighborhood of Saint James Parish on Sandy Lane. We had a nice lunch by the beach and had a great rum tour.
ToniReynolds, Jan 2026
Great overview of this beautiful island. We traversed 11 parishes. Knowledgeable guide, air con and comfortable vehicle but small group experience.
Darrell_L, Jan 2026
Good tour of sights and rum tasting. Our guide Shien was very knowledgeable, friendly and pleasant. Vehicle was very comfortable.
Lori_F, Jan 2026
The driver Guami first asked if we were the alcoholics. I was confused. He finally said yes, he was the driver and confirmed my name in the van. He then told us how he hates to work on Tuesdays, which was today. What do you say to that? He coughed and I wondered if he has some type if infection. He was not the friendly driver I had heard about. His information about the island was good. His driving was fine. The van had sand on the floor and dirty windows. Finally, I misunderstood and thought we were doing rum tasting in St. Lucy, not Bridgetown. Though the tasting was a good experience. Lunch at Savvy was delicious.
Susan_G, Jan 2026
Steven took us on a wonderful tour around Barbados sharing tidbits about sites as we passed them. It was a great way to see a lot of the island from someone who has lived here all his life. We had a lovely lunch at Savvy on the Bay before we took the Mount Gay Rum tour.
Glynn_C, Dec 2025
100% best tour ever been on. Tour guide was so good and kept the information rolling about beautiful Barbados.
Ana_W, Nov 2025
We were happy with this experience. We were picked up on time by Omar and we continued on. We saw the sights around the island and had a nice lunch on the beach. The rum tasting at Mount Gay was lots of fun. I would highly recommend.
Maria_D, Nov 2025
Very nice. Interesting. Slow paced. Saw a variety of the island. Our driver was superb. Full of Interesting tidbits about the island that we never would have heard.. lunch at Savvy’s was delicious and set on a beautiful beach. The rum tour was very interesting. I would recommend this. My husband and I are in our mid 60’s. No one was looking for a tip which is refreshing, but of course we gave one anyway because that is our custom from the USA.
Lesley_P, Nov 2025
Ryan was a fab tour guide telling us lots of history of Barbados and made us laugh the whole journey, stopped in several spots to look around and take photos
Lunch was at Savvy on the bay which was a delight and the Pina colada went down a treat
The Rum tasting was informative, the rum punch was good as were the 4 rums we tasted, the tour guide was very entertaining.
A very good day out .Would recommend
justine_r, Nov 2025
Susan was the best of the rest !!! From the moment we met her it felt like a family member ! Showed us all of the island gave us all the history with a twist of comedy went above and beyond gave us more history then what we expected ! These barbados roads scare me she made me feel safe ! When I come back I will do this tour again !
Brenda_C, Oct 2025
We were picked up at our resort by a very polite and knowledgeable gentleman who drove us to multiple scenic and historic sites. Then we were picked up by a nice lady for a 2nd leg of the trip. The rum tour was outstanding. After that, we were passed on to a third guide to return us to the resort. I would score a 5 here, except that we found that being passed from one tour guide to another, while it all worked out, was somewhat confusing and disconcerting. They told us we were being assigned to another guide, but it wasn’t clear where we would meet after the rum tour. The guide did help us find our ride when we came out of the tour, so that was a plus.
Thomi_D, Jul 2025
Heavy rain throughout our tour did not dampen our spirits because our tour guide and driver was Glyne. He brought the sunshine with him. Glyne was so upbeat and informative. Then there’s Tina, tour guide at Mount Gay Rum Distillery. Her knowledge and exuberant personality was the icing on the cake as she poured each sample of rum for us to taste! What a tour!! Don’t leave Barbados without taking this tour rain or shine!
Marlon_B, Nov 2025
It was a fun and knowledgeable guide. It was just a pity that we were in the car more than going to see things. We only saw the mill from the car, just like the horse racing track.
