We go on this tour every time we visit Barbados and we are never disappointed. From the moment you get on the boat the crew are there to offer you drinks and it never stops, the camaraderie between crew and guests is great and the snorkelling stops are impressive. The crew are sensitive to guests who can't swim very well, and they also make sure that everyone gets to see the turtles and the best of the marine life. The food is everything you'd expect from a typical Bajan lunch, there's something for everyone and of course Mac Pie! When the wind is up and you're sailing along the Barbados coast line there's no better place to be. We can't wait to go again, next time we visit.

You won’t understand Barbados from your resort. Get out with Scott (born & bred Bajan) in his air conditioned minibus and bluetoothed headset to learn about flora, fauna, history, society, religion, culture, geography, food (lunch included), climate, drink (a free rum punch, proper stuff) and anything else that you want know. If you want to see sea-eroded caves, windmills for crushing sugar cane, appreciate race tracks (horses and cars), understand how many variety of snakes live in the island, why houses are built the way they are, how to plant banana trees, how letters get delivered where there are no addresses, why breadfruit might be the cash crop of the future, despite Non-Disclosure Agreements who’s doing what to who, Scott’s yer man. Not interested in who Abramovich visits, where Princess Margaret’s house was, why people dumped their rubbish on top of Quakers’ family vaults, where they banged up Jerry Hall in the cells, why the largest Jewish cemetery in the Caribbean is in Bridgetown, how many polo fields there are on Barbados, why Simon Cowell’s and Andrew Lloyd Weber’s houses went down the pan, why you need to know much sugar has been added to the rum you are buying, why the Bajan Prime Minister and the Greek Royal Family are buried in different directions in the same churchyard, get someone to check your temperature again cos you’re probably no longer with us. For USD87, buy yourself an education about the Island or just sit back and enjoy the different geography of the Island’s parishes.

We took a private tour similar to the "Beautiful Barbados" tour GloryTours offers on their website, and were very satisfied and truly enjoyed the day. Our driver made every effort to put us at ease, offered possibilities for activities, and we could stop and take our time as needed. We started with a tour through Bridgetown, then heading north along the Platinum coast, with some short stops on the way. Around noon we arrived at Animal Flower Cave, which was nice (and not difficult) to visit. As it was a bit crowded there, we asked whether we could have lunch at a later stage, and he selected a wonderful remote restaurant for us, Chill`n Breeze, which was located on its own at the Eastern coast, run by an old and very friendly couple and providing excellent food. From there we drove towards Bathsheba, where we could spend nice time walking on the beach and looking at the beautiful landscape, before slowly going back to our hotel in Worthing. We would definitely choose GloryTours again if we come back.

Went on a 5 hour day trip including lunch, open bar and 2 snorkel stops and it really couldn’t have been more perfect. From making the reservation, the team were super helpful over Instagram and then over the phone as we were planning on visiting with a wheelchair user also. In the end she couldn’t make it, but they were willing to assist to make everything possible which really was wonderful. In the end we were 3 adults, a 9 and 3 year old - and all had such an amazing time on El Tigre we would definitely sail again! The entire crew were lovely, warm and friendly, excellent with kids and definitely kept the drinks flowing throughout! Lunch was delish too. Malie was amazing with my little sister as he fed the turtles she was practically feeding them too! And the snorkelling was just incredible, we had 3 turtles, a sting ray and a huge puffer fish swimming around us - absolutely magical. Highly recommend sailing with El Tigre... and we’ll be back!

We had a great time out with Ahmed. Had 2 boys one a teenager. Company was excellent, information was top class. Ahmed interacted with the children and included them by asking questions and addressing them. Even the youngest was engaged all the time spotting landmarks and map reading which a great sign of the success of the your and at end the day he was reeling off historic facts. Awesome.!!! Tye older child who actually lives on the island also found it really interesting because Ahmed tailored the your and info so thing he hasn't seen or know about were conveyed. That aside we the adults felt included and that is a testament to a hood your because its my tired visit to Barbados and despite covid-19 Ahmed showed us places I have not seen in previous 2 visits. A great ambassador for Barbados. Than you Ahmed. 100% recommend this tour. Ask Ahmed best local places to eat near where you are staying and if you like shopping ask he will point them out to you or even introduce you. Love it love it ???? ♥ (Alex, Anthony, Esi and Kɛkɛli).
