Barbados Island Tour Excursion Reviews

Excellent 3 hr tour of Barbados for $25 each. Did west coast thro' posh areas then scenic east coast going down onto beach. Returned back to Bridgetown with views over south and Fort George. Driver did try to take us to an Abbey but the $17 entrance fee was a No/No.

This was on last day. No time on arrival day. Larger coach than previous trips which were all maximum of 12 persons. Lost a bit of intimacy IMHO. Visited Gun Hill Signal Station Then to St John's Church for a few pics of the bay below. Then to Sunbury Plantation House for a walk round nthe house itself followed by a buffet in the gardens. Food was ok and the Hot Pepper Sauce was the hottest thing I've ever had, Vindaloo's included. Couldn't taste the rum punch lol. Then dropped off at airport for flight home. Only 4 hours to wait:( Not very enjoyable. Should have booked an independent tour which included a beach stop e.g. Glory Tours but wife was worried about possibly missing the flight home!

We had a nice island tour on a open air 4x4 truck. We really enjoyed it. We stopped at Bathsheba for pictures and it was the highlight of the tour for me. It is beautiful there, with high surf and huge volcanic rocks in the water. Worth seeing. We saw sugar cane growing and being harvested. Our driver was great and really showed us around.

This is a tour we piggy backed onto from a fellow Cruise Critic member. His website is not easy to follow and we really didn't know what to expect but we knew it was an island tour that did not include Harrison's Cave. Some of the scenery was really lovely but the streets/homes were a little shoddy. There is a very expensive area on the west side but it is a gated environment. We were glad to see the island but couldn't imagine going back either for a cruise stop or actual destination. Drinks were supplied; we brought our own Cheerios and fruit. We arrived back at the port about an hour later than I thought which was ok but it keeps happening for all of the trips, so keep that in mind.

We were given a history of the island. The tour was approximately 1.5 hours. We were dropped back in town and were able to shop before heading back to the ship.

The driver took us to a residential area and we were able to see the green monkeys on the side of the street.

Beatiful island, clean, noce people and Bridgetown is very nice. McDonald's did not survive on this island more than a couple of months.

This was our third visit to Barbados and our favorite. We saw Orchid World the previous year, but Andromeda Gardens was even more beautiful. The incredible rocky coast at Bathsheba should not be missed.

We booked an Island Tour with Glory Tours. Our tour guide was Calvin and once again we were very fortunate to have an informative and pleasant guide. The beaches of Barbados are beautiful. We saw many historical sites, lunch was provided at a local restaurant and we ended the tour at Payne Bay beach where we had several hours of beach time. We also met the owner, Sara Taylor, whom we found to be a most interesting person.

Boring tour, dropped at the beach and haunted by the locals to buy crap!!

The tour only took us to half the island and I don't think it was the good half. We didnt see anything except cows and slums.

Awesome experience with the Five Star Catamaran Sail and Snorkel with the Turtles booked through Carnival Cruise Lines. We had about 8-10 turtles swimming around us and we were allowed 45 minutes to swim with them. They also took us to a coral reef and we could snorkel there or lay on the beach. They served us lunch on board with an open bar after snorkeling was over. Then we took a 45 minute narrated tour back to the boat. I would do this excursion again!

Shoretrips is the best. We did sight seeing around the island and then we were dropped of at a beautiful beach for about 3 hours. They returned to pick us up and take us to the ship. Just the 4 of us on this excursion. Great day!! Friendly people!!

Barbados: Thanks to Trip Advisor, sent "taxicab or Sanjay" message stating our desire for his services. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was very patient with me while I was trying to decide what to do on the island, sent clear and precise information on where to meet him and was promptly waiting for us with a smile on his face. He even showed us a local eatery where I had the best rum punch. Cost $25 USD per person for 3 1/2 hour island tour.

Visited scenic spots in Barbados such as Bathsheba and the National Park at Farley Park then drive through the Platinum West Coast. We stopped for a drink at the Edgewater Hotel - spectacular views of the coastline.

Beautiful island that we do want to come back to. Was late in doing research so ended up booking a private tour with Facilitators Unlimited. They were okay but could have done better in some areas so I can't really recommend them. Do visit St Nicholas Abbey if you get a chance along with taking a scenic drive and perhaps if you like plants stopping at Orchid world or one of the other gardens. There are many beautiful old Anglican churches and cemeteries also which should not be missed. We'll have to come back for a land based tours as we really enjoyed this island.
