Walking Tour of The Historic Garrison and its Museum - A Military Story
Description
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 me by the Barbados Museum and Historical Society for a culturally rich journey into history. On this intriguing walking tour, I will show you the Garrison I lived in. The changes it has undergone. All the while paying homage to me by preserving my legacy.

Robin and I had the pleasure of experiencing the Untold Story: Curaçao’s Black History Tour, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide gave us a private tour that was not only informative but deeply impactful. The stories, the history, and the perspective shared brought a whole new understanding of Curaçao that we would have otherwise missed. You can feel the passion and purpose behind what he does. This isn’t just a tour—it’s an experience that stays with you. Highly, highly recommend if you’re visiting the island.
Our guide was very nice and professionally competent. We once ran around the horse racing course and learned a lot from the history of Barbados.
Fascinating tour with Zachary. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the why, when and how of the historic area we strolled.
Top marks from our host Zachary, couldn't fault him on his knowledge of Barbados history past and present.
