Guide #11222
Enjoy with me off the beaten track places, meet other locals and immerse yourself in " de Bajan culture". Areas of interest/specialty: **Barbados heritage & history **Local flora & fauna **Local geology ** WATCH MY MOVIE, "The Bearded Fig Tree Story" ** My keen interest in Barbados' natural, cultural and built heritage, led to a desire to share these Barbadian treasures. Experience Barbados' sights, sounds, people and more by foot and or vehicle as I interpret our culture, like our car horn language and varied forms of greeting. It's amazing how this island was formed, and how Barbadians lived long ago, and why there are many scores of Barbadian centenarians. In fact, Barbados ranks second to Japan for the highest percentage of 90+ year old persons. I have led walking tours and hikes throughout Barbados' 11 parishes, for the young and the young at heart and you will discover that I am knowledgeable across a wide range of areas relating to our local flora, fauna, Barbados' geology, history, heritage, culture and the interrelationships among the above, leading to the uniqueness of our Barbadian people. I am a certified Hike Leader, having earned certification from Hike Ontario, Canada, in 2006, a World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations certified Tourist Guide and a trained and experienced Barbados Heritage Tour Guide.

Victor brought Bridgetown's centuries of history to life and the role Barbados played in the colonization of the Caribbean and the Americas. Highly recommend!

Many thanks Cheryl and your group for the positive comments as well as the 5 star review. Thank you all for also choosing to visit Barbados.
Victor was excellent! We had a particularly challenging schedule and he graciously accommodated us. In addition he had a car seat for our baby. We saw some really cool sights- scenic overlooks, wild animal sanctuary, St Nicholas Abbey; I wish we had more time with him in Barbados. If we are blessed with a return visit, we will definitely look him up to rebook another...
