Orlando was great! Had a quick chat on things/themes we wanted to see- he took it from there and showed us around the island. Very knowledgeable and great ambassador for this beautiful country! Thank you!

Summary:
Husband and I booked a 4 hour tour and kept it pretty simple due to being 6 months pregnant, limiting on foot excursions but was still able to get a great view of Barbados. With my limited condition we weren't sure what to see but we hoped our guide would be able to come up with a tour that could accommodate. We were picked up at our resort and was greeted by Orlando who was very friendly and extremely illuminating on the culture and life on Barbados. We asked what would be his top places to see and the tour we experienced is one we would highly recommend. We got the see history through Bridgetown, beautiful beaches and areas for upcoming improvements. We stopped on Rihanna Drive and got a great view of her childhood home. We drive through Saint James saw plenty of ornate villas and got a view of the huge lavish mansions around Sandy Lane. Then we had a small stop in Holetown, had to stop at Best of Barbados Gift Shop and picked up some Starbucks next door. FYI recommend no food or drink in the van, understandably to avoid any messes. However Orlando did offer us cold water he had in his cooler. We made our way north and stopped at Speightstown, saw amazing views from the pier and stopped at PRC Bakery and tried some amazing treats (Absolutely must try). Afterwards we made our way through the open, as I would describe, country side of Barbados (plenty of the local farming) to the Animal Flower Caves and even though we didn't get to view the caves we were able to see the stunning views. Then finally the best view of them all we stopped at Cherry Tree Hill. Something about the rolling hills and the calm breeze made our short visit there stop time for a moment and was extremely peaceful. Overall I would rate our tour 10/10 with Orlando and will always remember our 1st time touring Barbados as we will absolutely be back to see more!

Summary:
Orlando was excellent. We wanted a different tour than most. We went to a run distillery where we all walked around and did a self tour and the rum tasting. Orlando then took us to an authentic Bajan rum shop and lunch spot and the food was fantastic! We also wanted to visit the island brewery so he took us there and sat and talked with us. He wa knowledgeable about the island and very nice. We felt like we were with a friend and not just a tour guide.
