Land Tours in Barbados

[Cruisamaniac]

We have found what seems like the perfect tour for us. Has anyone taken the "Scenic Barbados Coast To Coast 1/2 Day Tour"  By: RCR Tours or have any feedback concerning this tour? We will be traveling Dec 8, 2019 aboard the Freedom of the Seas.

We did a ship-sponsored half-day excursion called "Barbados Coast to Coast" when we sailedon Serenade of the Seas in December 2017 but I guess it mustn't be the same one as ours was operated by Foster and Ince. It was a vey pleasant excursion. You can read my impressions of it and see a couple of pics in the post-cruise review I did: https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/topic/2483258-just-back-from-serenade-11-day-southern-caribbean/page/4/?tab=comments#comment-53587485

I think that link should take you straight to the appropriate post but if it only takes you to the thread, the post number is #78.

I absolutely loved Barbados and hope to go back one day. Enjoy.

FionaMG - Thank you so much for the information. I found it very useful.

Our first visit, we just walked out of the port building and caught a van to take a tour. We hadn't scheduled anything in advance because we were newbies.....We spent most of the day with another couple and were taken to all the high points. I think it was about $40 a person.

Most of the time, that's a great way to see a lot of the island!

Engage a local taxi and give him/her some idea of what your interests are.

 

This is St. John's Parish Church, overlooking the island's East coast.
Great views on a clear day!

Hi Cruisamaniac, we'll be on FOTS as well on that sailing.  If you haven't joined our roll call I hope you will.  We are also still trying to figure out some kind of land tour this time around since last time we did a sailing excursion while in Barbados 2.5 years ago.

We took a good land tour in Barbados, through the ship, which

stopped at St. John's Church, Andromeda Gardens, and a landhouse where we had drinks

and a rest.

We went all the way from town and back again another route and experienced

much of the central island.
