A great way to get an overview of the island with some of the history included in parts of the tour. Also to learn (and taste) rum which lies importantly in its culture.
Tony_M, Jul 2026
This is a BIG ripoff. Itâs not actually a rum tour Scam, waste of money , 15 minutes of watching a video, 30 minutes of explaining about Barbados and rum and 30 minutes of tasting. Nothing like visiting other countries rum tours . Spent more time driving around the island. Most on land tours stopped at the same place so it becomes repetitive . Make it worse we were 10 minutes late getting to our destination due to heavy traffic and were in communication with the tour personnel, When we arrived there the driver drove away and about 10 minutes came back for us. Before we can board the bus the driver was screaming and yelling at us as if it was some sort of crime that we committed. We felt very uncomfortable and was so shocked. We have been to over 30 countries and countless tours and never experienced this type behavior from a tour driver. I would never recommend anyone to go to this tour.

Experience was great! Our driver, Stephen, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the island, cracked a lot of jokes, and kept us entertained throughout this experience. The van was really nice, had air conditioning, outlets to use, and water bottles available. Pickup was prompt, and we really stuck to the timelines outlined in the itinerary, without feeling rushed through the experience. The lunch from Savvy on the Bay and the rum tour at Mount Gay were my personal favorites. It was a LONG day but very worth it! I left the tour feeling like I got to experience so much of Barbados. I would definitely recommend this activity and rate it a 10/10.
Shawn_D, Jul 2026
This tour is worth the price you get to see so much of the island. The only part that bothered me was visiting the 2nd oldest church. There is a man at the front door attempting to sell books he has written. He gets a tude if no one buys any. The driver Orlando was informative and was a good tour guide. It rained at Bathseba Beach but we still were able to get a quick glimpse of the mushroom rocks. The rum stop is more of a tasting than a tour. You get to taste 4 different rums and learn the history of the distillery. You do not tour the buildings. Book early and enjoy.
Jane_M, Jul 2026
Very knowledgeable tour guide Glyne and great sense of humour. Lunch at Savy on the Bay was delicious. The rum tasting was good fun and learned a lot.
Sandra_R, Jul 2026

Lisa our driver was great. All the stops were beautiful and interesting. Would absolutely recommend this tour. It was a great way to see the island and experience the culture.
Sandy_L, Jun 2026
We had a very nice day seeing the island of Barbados. Michael was a good tour guide and drove very well making us all comfortable. The chicken sandwich at Savvy by the bay could have been better.
Joyce_W, May 2026
This tour is well worth it. Itâs informative with some history of the island as well as great touring around the island. The landscape is Beautiful
Ryan_S, Apr 2026

Jane_P, Apr 2026
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!

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 didnât enjoy was the lunch - the setting was nice but the food wasnât 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 Rihannaâs 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 Savvyâs 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 60âs. 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.
