Are you craving a historical military-based adventure in Barbados? Have you ever wondered what military life was like during the colonial period? Then boy have I got a story for you! "I was here to defend this gem of an island and it was nothing like what I would have expected as a soldier. My story is bittersweet, but nonetheless, has to be told. I want to tell you about the prison and the walk of shame I had to endure. About the services offered around the 'Savannah' and all the joys that can be drawn from this area despite the hardships that have made it what it is...." Join us on this journey back to 18th century Barbados as the life and times of British military occupation in Barbados are brought to life. Learn about the barracks, the hospital, the forts, the cannon collection, the prison and even the court martial site before visiting the house where George Washington stayed! A little snack helps pass the time as you are transported to the Barbadian military Garrison of 1705.

Debbie was great, from answering my questions ahead of the tour, to helping arrange transportation from the ship, to her knowledge and flexibility during the actual tour. We were traveling with an elderly relative, who is still quite mobile, and Debbie helped to ease my concerns before booking. She picked us up at the ship terminal, and we visited the museum. Debbie let us check out the well-documented exhibits at our own pace, and then led us through the outdoor exhibits, providing additional information and history. She provided us with water and light snacks. She was able to provide context to what we were seeing as we walked around the garrison, as many of the historical buildings have been repurposed as office buildings, businesses, or private homes. I would absolutely book another tour with this group! Excellent!

A great tour. I had never realized all the history of Barbados. It was very interesting to learn the influence of the British and the parts the local militia played in the development of the island. The museum was very worthwhile.
