Scenic Barbados Coast To Coast Half-Day 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.

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.

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.
