Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Cherry Tree Hill, BarbadosApproximately 850 feet above sea-level, this spot offers an excellent view of the "Scotland District" which covers the parish of St.Andrew and is named after the Patron Saint of Scotland.It is believed that the name "Cherry Tree Hill" originated from the large number of cherry trees which once existed at this location.Today the road is lined with mahogany trees, which were introduced into Barbados after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. As you descend the hill the mahogany trees give way to swaying sugar cane.Duration: 15 minutesStop At: Morgan Lewis Mill, St. Andrew BarbadosMorgan Lewis Windmill is located in the scenic hills of St. Andrew in Barbados and commands a most commanding view of the phenomenal east coast. Built in 1727, this typical wind-driven mill once crushed sugarcane to produce juice during the 18th and 19th centuries. Morgan Lewis Windmill stopped its operation in 1947 and was subsequently handed over to the Barbados National Trust for preservation as a museum. Morgan Lewis Windmill is among the World Monuments Fund list of 100 Most Endangered Sites in the World.Duration: 10 minutesStop At: Bathsheba Beach, Sandy Beach, Bathsheba BarbadosLegend has it that Bathsheba, wife of King David, bathed in milk to keep her skin beautiful and soft. Legend also says that the surf covered white waters of Bathsheba, Barbados rich in minerals and life is said to resemble Bathsheba's bath in both appearance health giving value.Duration: 25 minutesStop At: St. John's Church, St John, Union Hall BarbadosBuilt in 1846 to replace the church that was destroyed by the Great Hurricane of 1831, this classic Gothic church is solid and soaring. The church grounds are serene and the cliff-edge site commands a sweeping view of the picturesque east coast. A noteworthy statue and funerary plaques add to the interest, and a small guidebook gives you details. In the churchyard rests Ferdinando Paleologus, a descendant of Emperor Constantine the Great, whose family was driven from the throne in Constantinople by the Turks. Ferdinando died here in 1678, after being a resident for over 20 years. Though always English, Barbados has attracted multinationals for quite some time.Duration: 25 minutesPass By: Gun Hill Signal Station, Hwy. 4 BarbadosGun Hill is the finest of a series of signal stations built in 1818. These stations sighted ships approaching Barbados and signaled to each other, advising of the type of vessel and whether if was a friend or foe! In case of attack, the forts and soldiers could be quickly readied to defend the island. In the signal tower a chart shows just what detailed information could be relayed with the use of a few flags. The signal stations were also used to warn of slave rebellions on the island.Stop At: Barbados Garrison, Bridgetown BarbadosThe location is the Historic Garrison Savannah, close to the capital, Bridgetown. The Garrison Savannah has been the home of horse racing in Barbados since 1845. The officers of the British Regiment, who were stationed in Barbados, used what was then the parade ground to match their horses in races and the wealthy merchants and planters later joined them.Duration: 15 minutesStop At: Carlisle Bay, Bay Street, Bridgetown BarbadosCarlisle Bay is a nice tranquil beach located just on the outskirts of Bridgetown, where the focal point is the bobbing boats moored in the bay. It is a vast area of mostly placid and clear waters with no undertow, and is excellent for photos, snorkeling and Scuba diving, while boasting the most visited dive sites in Barbados. We will visit Copacaban on Carlisle bay where you will be greeted with a welcome drink and use of a beach lounger and shared umbrella is included whilst you enjoy some time at the beachDuration: 3 hoursPass By: Glory Tours, Bridgetown Cruise Port, Bridgetown BarbadosThis is your tour operator in Barbados

Traveler Reviews

Great overview of the island and very informative tour by our guide Sunshine. Highly recommend this tour!

We arrived February 18th in Barbados 8am was our disembarkation time, ships captain is on the ships intercom telling passengers that the disembarkation will be delayed due to the Barbados health authority wants to inspect the ship before passengers can disembark. At 9am we are notified by the captain that we can now disembark, by the time we got off the ship it was 9:30 am instead of 8:00am. This is a time when the virus was just starting to show up on cruise ships. The tour operator told us that the tour couldn't wait and left without us two other couples and a single lady were left stranded! So went the taxi stand and got the same tour for $60 each instead of $172 for 2 people. When we got back And contacted Tripadvisor did they investigate yup they contacted the tour group and did not contact the cruise line to verify our story. So no refund, if we would have booked a similar tour through the cruise line we would have got our money back or they would have waited for us. Morale of

A lot of driving. Lots to see with tour guide providing interesting information. Poorly organised session at the beach - not sure where to go or what to do - no chairs/beds available - had to wait to be seated. Sunbeds ok once we were settled

Guide , Gwynne, very informative, and very proud of his island home. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and the beach with included Rum Punch was fabulous.
