About This Experience

Take a unique walking tour of Bridgetown's sites. This tour provides an insight into the character of Bridgetown using audio guide equipment and a knowledgeable guide. During this tour, you will discover how the city got its name and how it gained independence 50 years ago. A picture of the space now called Independence Square is first painted before a tribute is paid to the unceremonious 'burial ground' of slaves when they landed on the island. The 'Blackwood Screw dock' is the next stop before heading to one of the city's two 'bridges'. Celebration of achievements such as piping water into the city at the 'fountain', recognition of the sacrifices of men from both world wars at the 'cenotaph' take place before the majestic 'Parliament Buildings' are unveiled in history. The story of the 'birth of rum' comes next, before 'Jewish ancestors' are recognized. The commercial activity of popular 'Swan Street' is presented as the 'oldest street' in Bridgetown. Then come the 'oldest church' and the 'City Hall'. The magnificent 'Mutual Building' waits patiently to share all its stories, then attention turns to another 'street of commercial importance' before the wharf spirit and the 'Spirit Bond' share their history. A stroll along the boardwalk takes you back to the starting point where the story of 'Independence' is told to close an exciting tour. - This tour may be affected by adverse weather conditions. - Rescheduling will be carried out where possible.
