About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- dydeequeue0 contributionsAll of Barbados' beauty + some fascinating B sides.360 All Day Barbados Tour Juice knows a ton about the island and it's history. He can tailor your stops if there's something you really want to see. Amazing views all over the island + a great lunch at a local place. Thanks for teaching me so much about Barbados, Juice! I had a lot of fun!Written 6 February 2025
- Joycemc10 contributionsWorth your time and Money!!Well Worth the time and money to do this tour!! We were hesitant doing a all day trip from 8:15-4:30. But after we finished, I feel like I know this island better than any other I have ever visited!! Some people might moan it wasnt a new van but honestly in this culture it was fine. It held 14 and we had 12.. Met some fun people and we all enjoyed our day!! Our Guide Aaron Griffen was so awesome!! Great driver, very knowledgeable, respectful and a good sense of humor🥰. The lunch was very good and in a clean environment.. Highly recommend if you want to see the most fabulous views of Barbados!!Written 5 February 2025
- dydeequeue0 contributionsBeautiful adventure learning about BarbadosMy guide Juice made sure I had a great experience. Very knowledgeable but also really fun.. The most breathtaking landscapes I have ever seen. Everyone should consider an island tour early to decide their holiday agenda. Very reasonably priced, it even included a lovely lunch at Sand Dunes. (I chose flying fish, Bajan potato salad, peas and rice and salad. All very fresh and tasty. I will be back. Thanks so much, Juice! 🙏Written 4 February 2025
- BoyceyGlosUK0 contributionsA Superb tripThis was an excellent tour. Our guide was Andrew Welch, who imparted lots of local knowledge. The tour had a number of stops, as we covered 9 parishes. We saw some amazing sights, particularly the coastline where the caribbean Sea met the Atlantic Ocean. Lunch enroute was delicious.Written 31 January 2025
- 534junef0 contributionsGreat way to see BarbadosThis tour was great as it took you all around the island and let you take photos at the spots. There was a nice lunch included and there were only 4 couples in our group. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.Written 27 January 2025
- Hatty290 contributionsGreat tourThe pick up was right on time. Our guide/driver, Andre was a lovely, polite young man, who pointed out a lot of interesting things on the way round. The tour took us to lots of beautiful places that we wouldn't have seen otherwise, and gave us a good feel for the island. Highly recommended. Great value.Written 27 January 2025

- dewier20150 contributionsDONT GO!We went on a 4x4 safari adventure booked thru Royal Caribbean cruise line. This was pretty much a drive thru the slums of Barbados in the back of a pick-up. We did go thru some sugar cane fields which I think was the "Safari" part of the tour. The Zebra stripes on the truck was supposed to make it seem more legit, I think. We had one stop on top of a hill by a cool old church and cemetery except there was a funeral going on. We pretty much crashed the funeral. The driver mentioned that we were going to stop for 15 minutes up ahead and then continued to drive. Didn't even slow down. evidently, he had another tour to get to. we were ok with that. We couldn't wait for this "tour" from hell to be over. The driver seemed to be trying to throw us out of the back of the truck with his swerving and swaying and taking the corners way too fast. Glad we had seat belts. We did get to see the house where Rihanna grew up. But that was the last 5 minutes of the tour. We felt like the driver should tip us for putting us through that. We really didn't want to tip him anything, but we did relent and give him $10. We normally tip $25-$50 depending on how the tour goes. This one was not great. I forgot to mention the Rum Punch. We got to sample some local Rum punch. He handed back a gallon jug and 7 plastic glasses "There were 10 of us" That was our sample of the local rum punch. Glasses to share and try to pour while being thrown around in the back of the truck!Written 20 January 2025

It is our first time in Barbados and this tour gave us a little bit of everything, history, nature, local sights and the flavours of the north part of Barbados. Because it is a private tour you experience so much more than a large group excursion. SunTours gave us a great day out!Written 11 January 2025

- TheDupeks0 contributionsLost our bookingWe booked 12 months in advance and emailed 5 days before to reconfirm. On arrival, went to the Suntours desk with a copy of my email booking and reference number and the 4 members of staff did not have my booking. Referred me to Virgin Holidays stand who I had booked the flight and accommodation with and they spoke to Suntours and they called the main Suntours office on my behalf. They then referred spoke to the Suntours desk who eventually found my booking. This wasted 40 minutes as they had then to find a driver.Written 28 December 2024

Richard our bud driver was very passionate and professional in everything he did. He made the group form Trinidad felt like Barbados was their home. Felt like a dream came through . The group loved him soo much that they prepared a birthday cake just for his birthday today. We will definitely be needing Richard back as our driver! Richard deserves a well decent raise. The buses were smoother but Richard made sure he came off the clutch in very time controlled fashion and made it smoother. Richard made sure he got everything in detail and made sure he missed out nothing.

We had an amazing time here ! We had our photos taken by a great photographer and they were so good we ended up buying 5 different photos ! The cave tour is very educational and is a big eye opener for how many years it took for the cave to be the way it is. The wildlife rescue resort was also amazing I got to feed monkeys for just a small donation towards their habitat. I held a monkeys hand ! And they tortious gully walk was great !

We took this tour today and from start to finish it was amazing.
Our driver (apologies forgot his name but began with H) was so friendly and gave us so much information on the island made the whole trip a fantastic experience.
Even though he had to meet our timings we never felt rushed and truly felt that he wanted us to have the best experience possible.
I thought that the critters would be the best part of the tour but the caves blew us away, the guide singing to us in the depths of the cave will stay with us forever. 100% recommended x

I was emailed the morning before (after taking my money) saying they found out I was not staying at the hotel I wanted to be picked up. Nowhere did it say I had to be staying at pickup location (they did not have the option to pick up where I was renting and I knew that hotel was a short walk). I didn’t get the email until we returned from a full day out without wifi. By the time they replied to me the next morning I was told they cancelled the excursion because I didn’t get back to them soon enough.when I asked to be put back on, they said it was fully booked. Which I call bullsh*t on since it’s July and tourism is at a low right now. We ended up having to pay a cab to take us to Harrison’s cave hoping we would be able to get in - which we did because it’s so dead here right now. Do not use this tour company - take a taxi, pay less and support a local just trying to make a living.

We did the cave and critter tour with pickup.
The description says the tour is 4 hours.
The issue is there is no info on pick up times and how long you would be in a an uncomfortable bus with no suspension. We were picked up at 830 and were on a bus until 11am picking up other people.
At the end of the day we were the last to get dropped off, another 2 hours on a bus. So yes, the tour time was 4 hours but there was 4 additional hours on a bus.
There was little info from bus driver at the wildlife reserve.
At the cave we waited on the first floor for 45 minutes. We were not given the option to go downstairs to where the food court was. When we did get called for the tour of cave and taken down the elevator then there was no time to eat. So essentially there was no time to have lunch. So I would advise, get your own taxi there, do not take a bus, plan this being an 8 hour trip, and pack a lot of snacks.
The cave tour with Kyle and Pete was the highlight to an otherwise difficult day.

Cannot express what a wonderful day we had. We were picked from our hotel on time, our driver was very personable with a vast knowledge of where we were going. He gave us a broad history of the island, & when we arrived at the nature reserve made sure I was comfortable with the walk, ( I am disabled & cannot walk quickly on cobbled surfaces.) We have taken tons of photos of the monkeys being fed & were able to get really close to them.
The cave tour was exceptional & the guide an absolute card. I just wish I had been able to do more whilst we were there but will save that for next time, & there will be a next time.

We had a private driver on two different days going to see the sights. My only thought on private drivers is your experience will vary based on the personality of the driver, even if you don't want any experience at all. I would suggest be very clear about your expectations. Do you want a quiet drive or chit chat? Stay on the course or a Bajan surprise? Fast or slow? If you don't like communicating expectations, you may do better with a group bus driver.
Harrison's Cave had a lot more to offer than we realized, and even the cave tour itself is a nice long tour, I think we spent at least 45 minutes in the cave.
The Wildlife Preserve was really interesting with several trails and another secret cave that we were brave enough to make our way through. The monkey's there are a lot of fun.

The advert says the tour starts around 10.15am. When we booked we were told we would be collected just after 8. I queried this and received a curt repetition of the start time. I then read the review from someone who was picked up just after 8 and spent 4 hours in total picking other people up and dropping them off so I cancelled.

A great trip to do if you want to tick a few boxes off your to do list.
We had a private driver called Shakeel (apologies if I spelt it incorrectly)
He picked us up right on time, gave us lots of information on the island whilst driving to each destination and even stopped off at the east coast for us to get a few photos.
Our time was short at the wildlife sanctuary but we still got to see the animals there and saw the monkeys being fed.
Harrison’s cave was amazing for us! The tour guides were brilliant and very informative, it’s breathtaking inside the caves and fascinating to know how it was created.

We were lucky to be driven by Kevin, a very knowledgeable and friendly man who took us to see a couple of other places off the beaten track on the way to the wildlife reserve. We saw the monkeys, deer, tortoises and birds, a very enjoyable experience. We then went on to Harrison’s Cave which was very interesting and well worth visiting. Kevin even stopped so we could buy ice cream on the way back. We were so lucky to have Kevin as our driver and would highly recommend.
