Gardens and History, any tour suggestions?

[MTdreaming]

We were hoping to see some scenic sites, maybe a garden or two and some historical sites as well...know there are a lot on the island but don't see too many that include just those, Not really interested in the caves or beach time this trip. Tours or Tour company recommendations?

For flowers/fauna etc....you can visit Andromeda Gardens, Barbados Wildlife Reserve as well as the Animal Flower Cave. There is also Hunte's Gardens as another alternative.

 

Bridgetown in itself is a World Heritage site with lots of historic buildings and churches as well as the Garrison area on the outskirts of the city.

 

Your best bet would be to engage a taxi driver when you exit the port to arrange a tailor made tour to your specifications.

Yes that does sound like the most efficient use of our time.. Barbados seems to have so many more things to see and do that some of the other islands..maybe we need to plan a trip to come back and stay for a week or more.

A week would be a good start. [emoji6] Barbados does have a bit more to offer outside of your usual sun, sea and sand excursions. I am sure yiy will have a great time.

Our party of four did a 4 hour private tour with Cameron Reid in April, 2014. We were able to customize the tour and visit specific sites that we were interested in including the Flower Forest, Bathsheba, St. John's Church, and a short visit to Rockley Beach. Cameron was easy to correspond with through e-mail prior to the cruise and his price was reasonable. He has a clean van and is a safe driver. You may want to check out his website and see if this might be something that you are interested in: http://www.cameronbarbadostours.com/
