Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

4 of us booked the custom tour with Emmanuel Tours for Monday 8th May. Wayne picked us up promptly and we had a brilliant day. We saw some wonderful sights and stopped at Sand Dunes bar and restaurant for an included lunch which was amazing.
Bathsheba was probably our favourite stop and a great place to visit. We also stopped at Chattel Village in Holetown which is a really lovely place to see with the colourful shops.
However, what made the trip so memorable was the wonderful Wayne. He was brilliant and made us laugh so much all day so big thankyou from the four of us for making our day so special.
We would absolutely recommend and book with Emmanuel Tours on any future trips we may have in Barbados and thanks also to Willie and Dreina for sorting out our booking so efficiently.

Willie and his drivers were excellent, our first time in Barbados and he really did help make it wonderful, from great advise on beaches to help with picking the right restaurant for the occasion he was spot on! I’m really impressed by his friendly and helpful yet professional manner! You really cannot beat them! Great value too!
Very highly recommended!

Excellent tour. Mr. Willie and his wife are very sweet. We were able to create a customized tour and they delivered. We seen everything we wanted to see on the island. We had the local foods and drinks, very good! 🤤
They’re very knowledgeable about the island, and there were no questions unanswered, we actually learned a lot more about the Island. Emmanuel Tours is the way to go if you’re in Barbados.
Will definitely use them on our next trip to stay on the island. This island is so beautiful, we have to return!
I highly recommend, above 5 stars for sure!

Thank You Mr. & Ms. Willie ❤️🙏🏾

Willie, Dreina and his team are the best. Every time we visit Barbados, we call Willie! Emmanuel Tours is excellent for airport pickups, taxi around the island, and private tours. Willie and his team will pick you up and take you back!
We love doing Island Tours with Willie and his team - their crew know the island so well and will show you an excellent adventure of all things Barbados! Just tell them what you are interested in seeing - wildlife, distilleries, beaches, shopping - and they will curate a day for you.
We most recently hired Emmanuel Tours to provide transportation for our wedding week. Willie & Dreina coordinated travel and excursions for over 60 guests - from airport transfers, private tours to Animal Flower Cave and the north, transportation to Oistens, Dis Ole House, Foursquare and more. We could NOT have done it without them!!
Call Willie!

We have known Willie and his family since the beginning of Emmanuel Tours. He and all his family are so kind, friendly and just great people. Their service is impeccable. They recently organized all the transportation for our daughter’s wedding and wedding guests (60 people) including airport transportation, Oisten’s Friday night, the reception dinner and lots of site seeing events! Everyone just raved over their service and friendliness. They are the best for sure! And extremely knowledgeable. They should always be your go-to for any transportation needs in Barbados!

We used Emmanuel Tours for our airport transfers and transportation to and from dinner and fishing charters. Willie and his crew always arrived earlier than expected and exceeded our expectations. Everyone was very professional and helpful as well as very outgoing and friendly.

Great experience with Emmanuel Tours. Willie and his wife Dreina were great, transporting our group of 5 between the airport and hotel, including a 1:30 am pickup after weather delayed our arrival. Then Kenmore entertained us on 9 hour private tour of the island, giving us a close up look at all Barbados has to offer and teaching us about the history of the island and the Bajans. Top notch vans and top notch people.

I've been using Emmauel Tours every time I visit Barbados since 2006. Willie and Kenmore are professional and courteous with a wealth of knowledge about Barbados culture, history and restaurants that they are happy to share. Whether its pickup and drop-off at the airport, a trip to Emerald City, a private island tour or driving to and from dinner, they are prompt with an impeccably clean vehicle.
They also know a plethora of shortcuts to bypass much of the Islands traffic congestion.

How much does the distillery and cave tour cost. Is the lunch included? My husband sometimes uses a cane. How difficult is the cave part of the tour -- any climbing or large numbers of stairs?

You should call for pricing. Your husband should not have any trouble, no climbing or large numbers of stairs. Only a step up into the tram that carries you through the cave.

I am cruising to Barbados to get married on a one day stop in August. Thanks I am hoping to get Willie to run us back and forth. Was he expensive? and was it a lot of running around? I am emailing back and forth and still don't have the full picture yet on the magistrate and licencing..
Thanks Tara

Willie was not to expensive. We booked him for the full day. It has been a while so I do not remember the exact price Having spent the whole day with him and using him for airport transportation I would trust him for his timeliness and cost effectiveness. He, however, probably can't help with your magistrate issues.

My husband has difficulty walking. Are any of the rooms on the first floor without steps?
Where is the breakfast room?

How often do tours of the George Washington House run? Are they every day throughout the day? How long do they last? I am looking for a tour with a guide or docent, not a self tour. Thank you.
