Why take this tour?

Are you yearning for an authentic tour of Barbados? Look no further!! Let me show you the Speightstown I was born and raised in just as I remember it. I would love to share my most treasured and intimate memories of travelling around the island with my father. The shores and forts of Barbados have always made me giddy because of the immense pleasure I drew from them growing up. Come explore them with me as I share interesting facts only a local would know. I'd love to take you for a journey through history as we travel the quaint towns and absorb in the beauty of ancient buildings. Also get to interact with locals as we pass vendors in the streets as well as the famous Barbados rum shops. And not to mention the natural scenery, the breathtaking flora and fauna. Maybe we will see a monkey or two crossing the road! End your tour enjoying a sumptuous 'Bajan' dinner with a commanding view of the setting sun as you continue to learn more about this quaint town.
