Brilliant, friendly tour guide. Rum tasting was great. The rum processing tour was informative without being boring.

Being train fans as well as history buffs, we loved our trip to the Abbey! Would have been tricky to get there on our own (hard to know that though til you’re there). Direct pick up and return to hotel was perfect. Our guide/driver was #1. Thanks Ryan! He was personable and fun, imparting lots of local knowledge along the way and engaged we tourists just as much as we wanted to be (and I sure did!) He even taught us a fun Bajan song and got us all singing on the ride “home”. Small group-size was an absolute bonus. Ryan helped us both fall in love with Barbados; we both hope to return. I was glad to have arranged the tours before we travelled; meant no need to give up vacation time to make bookings. And Viator was diligent about keeping in touch about timing, etc. while we were there. Would highly recommend.

Ryan our driver was very knowledgeable and told us about the places we were going through. At Nicholas Abbey was delightful and the rum tour was also excellent. We also rode the steam train. I can thoroughly recommend this tour.

Our guide was amazing. Told us all kinds of history about all kinds of things from the 95 day McDonalds to how Barbados sheep have no furry coat. The Abbey was beautiful and so well maintained. A piece of history stopped in time. The rum was good. but tasting was less than expected.

El lugar es muy bonito y el viaje en tren es muy increíble. El personal es muy amable y te permiten tomarte fotos en el tren. Durante la cata el propietario tiene un humor de doble sentido que no me agrado mucho sin embargo el ron es muy delicioso

Our driver, Ryan was amazing! We enjoyed the tour immensely. I would skip very short train ride if you have a driver as great as Ryan. He covered information provided on train. Tour guide , Virginia at Abbey was fantastic!!
