          Great tour! Had enough time for each site and went on our own pace. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and super nice. We recommend this tour.

          Barbados Wildlife tour
          One of the owners, Cindy, guided us around the island giving detailed commentary of local sites & lore. Our transportation was a clean & air conditioned (a must in late Aug/Sept) 6 passenger van. We visited a wildlife sanctuary to see the green monkeys, turtles and other wildlife. We also visited the Flower forest garden with an included lunch. Our final stop was the Earthworks pottery shop where we could shop for local art & pottery and view the making of their pottery. Would book with RCR tours again.

          Island Tour
          Antone was a fantastic guide around the island. He entertained us with some funny stories and filming location sites. The teenage kids and kids really enjoyed their trip around this beautiful island.

          It was ok but not to the standard of other island tours I have taken
          The flower forest was really cool. They also took us to the church that outerbanks was filmed at which my teen loved. The wildlife reserve was cool. However, the food was lacking and disappointing. Each site is explore on your own so the guide will not take you around in case that is expected. If it is raining the paths for the flower forest and wildlife reserve are very slippery so please wear tennis shoes or shoes with good grip. The company will not text you and tell you when they are coming either but will say pick up begins 30-60 minutes before the tour starts at 8am so we were ready at 7 am and he did not show until 755 and we were the first to be picked up and the last to be dropped off. The best thing was the van was air conditioned! Made for a comfortable transport

          Excellent value for money
          Ricky was a first class tour guide, gave us loads of info along the journey and answered any questions we asked. We didn't feel rushed at any of the stops and lunch was delicious. The monkeys at the nature reserve were adorable.

          An awesome Island tour
          Ricky was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history and shared a lot of details that you wouldn’t know unless you were from Barbados. His timing was perfect and when went to the wildlife reserve within four minutes they were feeding the green monkeys that are only fed twice a day. It is a perfect way to see this beautiful island!

          Bad Experience- Not as Advertised
          We book a private tour with RCR Tours that was supposed to include the entire itinerary of the Scenic Barbados Coast to Coast Half-Day Tour plus a visit to Harrison's Cave and an hour of shopping in Bridgetown. We confirmed on the phone with Alistair at RCR Tours TWICE that we would be able to get all of that done in the 6 hours that he said we would need to get it done. On the day of the tour, Cindy came to pick us up. Right from the start, she was aggressive, rude and yelled at us. While she did change the order of our itinerary to make sure we were not delayed at Harrison's cave, when we discussed what other sites we would visit, she said we would not be going to St. John's Church or Oistins, which we were supposed to see. When we explained that we still wanted to see those location, Cindy started yelling at us that there is not enough time to do that and that if we wanted to go to those places, we would have to cut our shopping time short or pay extra. When my friend very nicely to Cindy, "Ma'am, you are yelling", Cindy proceeded to yell louder. The aggressiveness, rudeness and yelling made us very uncomfortable. In addition, Cindy kept taking phone calls (no fewer than 8-10) and kept pointing out her husband's tour van along the way. Because we were alone with her on remote roads without many other people around, we were not in a position to speak up and voice our displeasure with how stressed and anxious the tour was making us. It was not an enjoyable experience. We didn't get to see everything we were told we would see and we ended the tour never wanting to come back to the Island. I would not recommend using this tour company.

          Horrendous experience with Cindy from RCR TOURS
          My friend and I booked a “Private” Tour which I put as private in quotes bc our tour guide and driver, Cindy (if you post good review she said) or Barbara (if you post bad review) was in complete control and it felt like it was her tour, not ours! She yelled at us, was aggressive, controlling, and made us feel exceptionally uncomfortable. She has a really bad/ nasty attitude and refused to bring us to a place to eat by the water. We literally ate NOTHING from 8am to 2pm and she didn’t care when we stayed we were hungry. We paid $236 EACH for a private tour where we would let her know where we wanted to go. She had attitude every time we told her a place we wanted to go to, even to get coffee! She acted like she was doing us a favor driving us around. She constantly got phone calls, at least 10 calls during our time with her. She was so unprofessional and I’ve never seen this type of behavior before from any private tour person before. Absolutely unacceptable. I was told after that she’s a manager?! I guess this is a family owned business? I would stay clear of RCR TOURS and stay clear of Cindy/ Barbara. She heightened anxiety and the 6 hours with her were absolutely miserable. I would save your money and go with another company 100%! Their “customer service” is also horrendous the guy Alendro who we spoke to basically blamed us and didn’t care when we said we’d put a review bc as he stated, “Your one bad review won’t ruin our rating.” He also lied the day before when we booked saying certain areas where included and then said he didn’t say it. Cindy started yelling at us literally yelling at us that the last two spots if we wanted to go to them we would have to pay extra in addition to the $236 each we already paid! She even tried to make us get out at a certain point during our tour bc she liked the spot even though we didn’t care to see the waves crashing and we wanted to see other parts. This was her tour, not ours. She was horrendous and I 100% do not recommend this “tour” company.

          Amazing Visit
          This was a great & informative tour. Learned a lot about Barbados & how the island was formed. Our guide was named Kyle, The Rasta Man” he called himself. He was likable and energetic & requested that we be energetic too.

          Not worth the money paid
          Only 2 drinks offered during the 5 hour tour despite it being boiling hot and the tour stating drinks included. Not even given any water. A nice day out in a small group but not worth the money paid

          Nice tour in Barbados!
          Ryan gave us a very nice tour of Barbados. We took nice pictures from the Animal Flower Cave area, and enjoyed the tour of the St. John's Church, built in the 1600's. Ryan was very friendly and pointed out all the spots of interest along the way. Ryan, We hope your wedding in April is beautiful, and we wish you many years of happiness.

          Coast to Coast scenic tour of Barbados excursion from NCL...esp with Sonia.
          This tour called Coast to Coast scenic tour in Barbados was one of the excursions from the Norwegian Cruise Line ship the Viva, by Foster and Ince (unsure of spelling of tour company name).. It was a fabulous tour of the island led by Sonia as our tour guide and the very excellent bus driver Velton. The narrow winding roads were more than a challenge and yet we felt safe with his driving. Sonia spoke clearly and slowly, and was not only very informative and interesting, but could be fully understood. The total tour was FILLED with interesting information and sights. We learned a lot about the island: history and overall information. Highly recommended!!!

          Half day coast to coast driving tour
          Lovely professional driver - she personalised the trip as it was just our family in the clean air conditioned car. Got to see the rugged Atlantic coastline including North Point, as well as Rihanna’s childhood home. Great way to visit all the contrasting areas on the island.

        I took the Coast to Coast tour of Barbados with RCR Tours. We circled the island in a small van. After driving through Bridgetown, we passed Rihanna's childhood home. The street was named after her in 2017.

        We then drove to Speightstown, the original capital of Barbados and had 15 minutes to walk around. Our next stop was Animal Flower Cave, at the northern end of the island. I took the optional walking tour inside the cave.

        We stopped for lunch at a cafe on the East coast. All eight of us in the van ordered the flying fish, a Bajan specialty. It was tasty.

        The East Coast is more rugged than the West Coast since the trade winds batter that side. There are places where swimming is too dangerous and others where surfing is good, such as Bathsheba. Our last stop was the historic St. John's Parish Church, originally built in 1645, but rebuilt most recently in 1836.

        It was a good way to the island.

        A great way to get a big-picture view of Barbados! We traveled all the way around the island making stops at various points including lunch and other rest breaks. sugarcane fields and scenic views we’re highlights. Really enjoyed interacting with other guests from around the world, and our guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommended!

        My husband and I did the full day tour with Ricky, who was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We thought the tour was great and well organised, showing us different areas of the island and the diverse scenery of each coast with some great views. Ricky told us the history of the different areas, with some great local knowledge and stories. The lunch included at a local restaurant was also very good.

        We did this our first day in Barbados to get the lay of the land to determine places we might want to go back. Our tour guide/driver, Cindy, was very knowledgeable & quite personable. We had booked a tour to St.Nicholas Abbey & we asked if she could take us there. She did that plus gave us a tour of the interior of the island. Definitely recommend this tour & Cindy.
