An interesting insight into the history of Bridgetown. We had a small group and plenty of opportunities to ask follow-up questions. Our guide was a young man who was very knowledgeable about the city's history and was able to answer all our questions. The walk lasted a little longer than the original duration, but we also got to see all the "extra spots".

Zachary was an exceptional tour guide! Despite the intense sun during our tour, he quickly recognized the discomfort and graciously took us to an air-conditioned mini-mall to cool off. His patience while we recovered was greatly appreciated. The tour itself was incredibly informative; Zachary explained everything so clearly that our group hardly had any questions—just shows how well he conveyed the depth of information! It was a fascinating experience that truly helped us connect with Barbados's rich history. Highly recommend!

I took a history tour of the city in the country. My guide, Zachary was very informative and had a great personality. He kept asking if I had any questions but I never did cause he did such a thorough job. If you can get him you’re lucky.

Excellent tour! It just so happened that I got Zachary all to myself! He was amazing! I wanted to get some history of the island, compare it to my Jamaican roots and bring some information back to my students. Check, check and check! I even got to see some caterpillars that I have never seen before and was able to get my steps in.

I have been coming to Barbados for many years but did not know the history very well. Zachary was our guide and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable about the history of Bridgetown. Zachary was very polite and friendly and we enjoyed listening to him as he explained the stories behind the many monuments and old buildings. The 2-hour tour was just the right length and we felt that we learned a lot. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Very informative and our guide, Zachary, was fantastic. After the tour he went out of his way to take us to restaurant which served curry. Please tip.
