Historic Churches Tour of Bridgetown
Discover some of the oldest surviving churches in Barbados, as your tour guide take you on a 2-hour journey back in the history going as far back as the 16th century. History comes alive in these churches as you walk from church to church. St. Mary Church has a rich history, built of brick with a Georgian architecture vaulted ceiling. Learn about the famous citizens who were buried in the graveyard of St. Mary Church. Take pictures as you stroll from historic church to church.
Pelican Crafts Center (The Pelican Village)
The tour begins at Pelican Island, which was a small uninhabited island that once existed off the west coast of Bridgetown and Fontabelle, in St Michael, Barbados. According to historical record, the island received its name from brown pelicans that would nest there. There is now a tourist attraction called The Pelican Village ("Pelican Crafts Centre") in the area, a port, as a tribute to the separate island that once existed there. The Pelican Craft Center is the largest arts and crafts center in the Caribbean with shops and many workshops with tours to watch the craftsmen creating glass creations, pottery and visit a cigar factory and see how cigars are made.
Walking Tour of Bridgetown Barbados
There’s no better way to explore the beauty and wonders of Barbados than with a walking tour through the City of Bridgetown which is listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is one of the few World Heritage Sites in the Caribbean. Bridgetown Barbados is full of interesting history that dates back to 400 years, the culture, people, food, and amazing sights.

The Exchange Museum, an 18th-century building that is now one of the oldest in the area, once housed a school named Harrison Free School. It eventually turned into the Masonic Lodge.
