“Ricky was a wonderful tour guide! He was punctual in picking us up from our hotel, and exploring Barbados from coast to coast was such a memorable experience. Ricky shared a wealth of knowledge about the island’s history and answered every question from our group with ease. The only downside was the van, which wasn’t ideal for sightseeing. The windows were small, making it difficult to see some of the landmarks Ricky pointed out, and we passed by certain sights rather quickly. Of course, much of this was out of his control, as stopping in the middle of the road wasn’t always possible. I believe larger or wider windows would…”

“Our tour guide, Glyne was AMAZING! He was literally like a walking encyclopedia. He knew so many facts about the island. We let him decide where to take us since we were first time visitors and we wanted the perspective of a local. He took us to some remote places that we would have NEVER found on our own. The beauty of this island is immeasurable. We covered a great deal of the island on our tour. We went all the way to North Barbados and we got to see goats, sheep, and some mongoose along the ride. The stops we made were so beautiful that I wanted to take…”

“This tour was the low point of my trip to Barbados. To summarize, as the other taxi drivers call it on the island "da borin' tour". You basically sit in a car, in complete silence, and drive past all the beauty. The times where you do get out, those locations arent that great. No stop at rhianna's house. The driver even looked angry and bored. He was not excited to be there and it just made me feel depressed and frustrated that I was there.Also during pick up they will not notify you when they arrive and will almost leave you. There was a point where there was a road…”
