The walking tour was not as expected. We wanted to hear more history about the island but heard mostly what's going on today. We walked through some areas that were not very interesting.

A very informative and excellent walking tour of Bridgetown. Our tour guide Carrie did a fantastic job making sure that we could hear her explanations of the wonderful sights we walked by. Ruthann Discovery Tours is a MUST and inexpensive way to see this beautiful and historic city.
