Barbados Fun

My 3rd visit to Bridgetown and wanting to do more than swim with turtles,  I booked a fun city and lunch tour with “Adrinan”(adrianwhite70@hotmail.com/246-242-8451) We hit the jackpot.

Adrian picked us up right at the port, and we immediately felt we were in good hands. We started with a short drive through the city, stopping and visiting the main monuments and shared fascinating stories about Barbados's rich history. We visited Heroes Square, an important landmark that honors the island's national heroes and captures the spirit of Barbadian pride and independence.

Our next major stop was the George Washington House—yes,

that George Washington! It was incredible to learn that the future first president of the United States actually visited Barbados as a young man. The house has been beautifully preserved, and standing where Washington once stood was a special moment.

Adrian  took us by Rihanna's house and showed us the drive where the island's most famous superstar grew up

—a fun glimpse into local celebrity culture! From there, we drove to Holetown, one of the island's most charming areas. We stopped at the oldest church in Barbados

a stunning piece of history that's still standing strong after centuries. 

But the best was yet to come—lunch! Adrian brought us to Rascals, a local restaurant  where we got to try Barbados's national dish: “flying fish sandwiches”. Fresh, flavorful, and absolutely authentic—this wasn't tourist food, this was the real deal.

I can't recommend Adrian highly enough. If you're stopping in Barbados and want a genuine, personalized experience of the island, this is the way to do it. A perfect port day!
