What To Expect
Broad Street
Bridgetown. On the 5th of July 1628 that 64 settlers headed by Charles Wolverstone arrived. The location of Bridgetown was the most suitable place for a port. Its swampy lands however made it bad for the settlers’ health. The settlers named the town after a bridge that had been constructed by the early inhabitants of the island, the Amerindians. The Bridge of itself was called the Indian Bridge The principle streets in Bridgetown were laid out by John Swan and in keeping with tradition Swan street was named after him. The main street Broad Street was named Broad Street as it is the broadest street in the town. In the early years the streets in town were ill kept and in 1656 legislature passed and act where persons not keeping the space in front of their property clean could be fined 100 pounds of sugar for each day of noncompliance. Bridgetown's Swamp was filled in and replaced with a canal. The lower part of the Constitution is called the Careenage. It was named the Careenage because it ships were careened on to a side to be repaired
Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill
Morgan 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.

Barbados Highlights Review

5.00This tour was one of the best decisions we made in Barbados—an absolute must-do! It was well-paced, engaging, and gave us a well rounded view of this beautiful land. Our guide Susan really stood out. She was positive, energetic, and incredibly knowledgeable, and even went out of her way to make an extra stop so I could grab food from a local vendor. Such a thoughtful touch that made a great tour even better. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Barbados!

5.00We had a very nice day seeing the island of Barbados. Michael was a good tour guide and drove very well making us all comfortable. The chicken sandwich at Savvy by the bay could have been better.
Worth doing!

Stephen Showed Us Barbados… and My Love for Rum Punch

5.00Our guide, Stephen, an island native, clearly has a genuine appreciation for the beauty and history of Barbados. As a California driver who isn’t usually intimidated by traffic, I was more than happy to be in Stephen’s hands as he effortlessly navigated the roads through the different parishes while sharing interesting facts and anecdotes along the way. He kept us laughing and answered countless questions, making the experience both fun and informative. The stops were well timed—including the all-important bathroom breaks. Lunch at Savvy On The Bay offered a beautiful beachside setting, with plenty of time to enjoy the meal and connect with fellow travelers. Our visit to Mount Gay Rum Distillery was equally enjoyable—fun, informative, and a great way to discover that I’m more of a rum punch kind of gal than a straight-sipping rum drinker! Thank you, Stephen, for a fantastic tour—five stars all the way.
