The tour was absolutely wonderful. The girls and I truly enjoyed every moment of this experience. It was incredibly meaningful and definitely one of the most beautiful and memorable things we did during our stay in Barbados. She is such a kind, gentle, and understanding person, which made the experience even more special. If I ever come back to Barbados, I will definitely contact her again to continue the tour, because two hours simply wasn’t enough.

I absolutely loved spending those two hours with you and the girls, and it means the world to me that our tour was one of the most memorable parts of your stay. Just in case you need it to find me for your next trip, it's Karen! I would be absolutely delighted to welcome you all back so we can pick up right where we left off—we definitely need more than two hours next time! Wishing you and the girls all the best. Merci beaucoup et à bientôt!"

It was supposed to be a history tour and it turned into a shopping tour. Tour guide like he was friendly, but it was not the tour we wanted.

She was very friendly and warm..assisted us when we needed to grab a cab after the tour. She was very patient, courteous and kind. She actually gave us water for our tour.
