Great way to explore the island and have a fun day! Easy pick up/drop off and great tour guide - full recommendation.
Debbie_N, Mar 2026
Friendly and informative driver. Got to see all the coastline. Coddrington College also has some stunning views. Lunch at Animal Flower Cave was delicious. Top tip... sip the rum punch, don't gulp or you won't remember the trip! It's strong
Gavin_T, Feb 2026
Very enjoyable
driver excellent- very knowledgeable and a good driver.
Pick up was early but so were we so that was great.
R_L, Feb 2026
Our driver was Winston. He was warm and friendly and made everybody feel very welcome, as though he couldn’t wait to spend the day with us all. His “commentary” was interesting and delivered in a very clear manner and also with humour. Winston engaged with everybody in the tour and was a joy to spend time with. This was, easily, the best tour if this kind we have ever been on.
Tracy_T, Feb 2026
Great guide, fun and knowledgeable. A wonderful day out with a very nice lunch. Visited some lovely locations
Diane_J, Feb 2026
This is a brilliant overview of the beautiful island of Barbados. Winston, our friendly and most knowledgeable driver, gave us great insight and a thorough understanding of all the places we visited.
I would definitely recommend this tour.
Kate_M, Jan 2026
Perfect balance of beach , historical and food experiences . Charles was a perfect host ,friendly respectful and knowledgeable from childhood to present day !
greg_f, Jan 2026
Charles was a true gentleman and wonderful historian.
It’s a comfortable way to see the entire island and the lunch at angels cave was terrific
Prem_N, Jan 2026
If like me, it's your first time to Barbados and you haven't got a car it's a fantastic way to see the whole island. It's so varied. Omar was great at telling us about all the different parishes, the history of the island, the plantations etc The Animal Flower Cave was a great setting for lunch and the food was delicious. It was an unforgettable day!
Rebekah_H, Dec 2025
This was a great way to see the island! Charles was so great and super knowledgeable about the island. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting.
Yvonne_D, Nov 2025
Excellent tour, fabulous food. Steve the driver was very knowledgeable on all places in Barbados. Half way through we recognised him from a previous tour we took 2 years ago. Highly recommend
Tilly_K, Nov 2025
We had a nice tour with a very friendly guide. Thanks for the fish cakes, drinks, rock cake and the very good lunch.
Amanda_K, Nov 2025
This was a phenomenal experience. The whole day was a dream come true. We got to see tons of fish, turtles, and extraordinary views.
The lunch was great. The staff was friendly and fun.
Tashina_V, Nov 2025
We had a great time on this tour! It’s a super fun way to explore Barbados; We were picked up by Glyne, who then dropped us off at the first stop to meet up with Orlando , who was our designated tour guide. It was nice because it was just my sister and I and one other couple, so it felt like we were prioritized and were able to have a fun banter with Orlando (who’s hilarious I might add) I will say I do wish there were more activities along the tour, as most stops were photo ops. But overall, a super great time!
Carolyn_C, Nov 2025
Wonderful introduction to the history and top locations of Barbados. Excellent, informative tour guide.
Ron_C, Nov 2025
Glyne was a fantastic guide. Super knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this excursion with him. I am so glad we did this as it was nice to take in all of the island as Barbados is more than just bars beaches and sun.
Alex_S, Sep 2025
Very informative and packed tour, led by our excellent guide Glyne. He was passionate about his home and culture, greatly enhancing our experience.
karen_T, Sep 2025
Ryan was a very knowledable guide. He was friendly, curteous and a great driver.
The places we visited were interesting and we had enough time to look around and we never felt rushed or hurried.
We had a great day.
sandy_c, Sep 2025
Tour guide Glyne was the best in Barbados!!! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended 😁
Tamla_C, Sep 2025
Ryan was a great tour host. He was knowledgeable, engaging and welcoming. I would highly recommend him as a guide.
Michael_T, Sep 2025
This is a great immersing trip. You see a lot of the island and hidden gems with great views. The included lunch was delicious and the rum drink refreshing. The only thing that could be better is more time at the animal cave to be able to explore the area.
Karen_D, Sep 2025
Glyne our driver knowledgeable and humorous, and kept us on track during our tour. We went to a lot of places and was able to take beautiful scenic pictures.
Haniyfa_A, Aug 2025
Great experience overall! The locations and scenery were amazing. Definitely recommend to add your itinerary when visiting the island.
Patricia_L, Aug 2025
Omar was such a delight! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and everything it had to offer! We stopped in some beautiful beach areas and shopping sites.
Lunch at the Animal Plant Cave Restaurant was delicious. Shawnee was so nice… it was a great experience!
Aleksandra_G, Aug 2025
Amazing tour of island with our tour person Charles who was very knowledgeable, well spoken. Very professional and vehicle was clean and very comfortable. Need to have more Charles around to enhance your tour.
stacey_c, Jul 2025
Stephen was an amazing tour guide giving us all incredible history of the island and showing us some of the most beautiful parts truly showing us why Barbados is the gem of the Caribbean! We highly recommend this tour
Conneka_B, Jul 2025
This was a last minute tour we booked after hearing about Animal Flower Cave, and I’m immensely happy that we did. It was raining pretty often that day so it was a great use of the day being that we were in a car majority of the time and the moments where we did stop and get out, the rain had let up so it was perfect. Glyne was our guide and he is like an encyclopedia, atlas and ChatGPT all mixed into one person lol. I learned so much while on his tour and he surely has a little bit to say about everything, we enjoyed the whole trip. There’s no time to go to the actual animal flower cave, inside of the water, but the lunch on the cliff and the views were both spectacular! Highlight of our trip by far!
JLC, Jul 2025
This is a good tour to literally go around the periphery of the island. Stephen was very engaging. We would have liked a little more history and him pointing out more areas of interest. If you just want to get a lay of the land, this tour will do it. Also, if you are vegan, the lunch was very minimal. The non-vegan dishes were adequate and the food was good,
Kim_M, Jul 2025
We were expecting our tour guide to give more information about Barbados as we traveled the island. In fact, my husband and I felt that some of our taxi drivers gave more history about Barbados in our short rides than what we heard on this entire tour... we did not go to 3 stops that was listed on the tour... the photo op for the Morgan Lewis Windmill was missed and in fact didn't even know if we went past it. Cherry Tree Hill did not even get mentioned and never saw or heard mention of Garrison Savannah site. We spent majority of the day talking amongst ourselves with people asking questions or pointing out facts about the island. We were rushed at the lunch as we arrived at 1:15 and didn't get our lunches right away so we ate and was walking away from the table at 1:47 and had 13 minutes to look at the views and take pictures. We did have some shuttle issues such as a flat tire which seemed to stress out our tour guide to the point that I feel he completely shut down and forgot he was on an island tour. In fact, most of the afternoon he seemingly was on personal calls constantly. I was excited that we got to see the whole island but disappointed with the quality and content of the tour as we felt we were just driving around looking out the windows and guessing what we were seeing. The tour guide was nice but felt he fell short of his end of the tour. I gave this review a 3 star only because I got to see the whole island and didn't have to drive myself. I would not recommend this tour and write this with great disappointment. Definitely not worth the money.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Good Day. I am sorry for your experience can you please contact me so I can find out when you went on the tour and who your guide was as this is certainly NOT what our customers normally experience and I would like to certain what happened.
Tracy_D, Jul 2025
Fantastic opportunity to visit some of the key attractions inhabited by Barbados with great food, drink and company. We were offered excellent snacks and lunch together with Rum Punch and ice cold water throughout the day.
The air-conditioned bus took a small group of (around 10) and nothing was too much trouble for our driver Steve who was both knowledgeable and extremely personable. We given plenty of time to take pictures and explore spots on route
