Overview
Are you yearning for an authentic historic tour of Barbados? Look no further!!
Let me show you the Historic Garrison as I share my most treasured and intimate memories of my visits to this area with my father. He often took me back to 18th century Barbados, to a time when the life and times of British military occupation in Barbados was at its height. The shores and forts of Barbados also have interesting stories that I will I share. I'd love to take you for a journey through history as we travel the quaint towns and absorb in the beauty of ancient buildings alongside modern architecture.
This guided tour with audio headset is engaging as we tell you about the barracks, the hospital, the forts, the cannon collection, the prison and even the court martial site before viewing the house where George Washington stayed! A little snack helps pass the time as you are transported to the Barbadian military Garrison of 1705.

Informative tour
Published on Aug, 2024
Our tour guide(Kristen) was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain all the interesting facts about the Garrison and the George Washington House. He was obviously very passionate about the history of Barbados, which gave the tour an additional element. He also made the tour fun. Would highly recommend this tour.
Lovely tour but not disabled friendly.

Our guide was very informative regarding the garrison part of the tour which made it more interesting for my husband, an ex military man. Unfortunately I was not able to participate in this part of the tour as I am disabled.
Washington’s house was the highlight for me & my husband and having the story devices made it so that we could go at my pace rather than being rushed from point to point.
We had a fabulous lunch in the cafe afterwards, so a lovely few hours all in all.
Would recommend!

Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the past and current history of Barbados, including George Washington’s time in the country. We enjoyed our goodie bag and our walk around the Garrison. This was a fun experience.
Garrison and George Washington House
Published on Mar, 2023
Tour guide educated me a lot about the Garrison's History and seeing where George Washington lived in Barbados was great
Historical look at the Garrison area
Published on Feb, 2023
This was a wonderful educational tour with Christen, our tour guide, who was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Christen walked us around the Garrison & inside the race course explaining everything we saw what it's use was in the past & how the buildings had changed or were going through their transition period.
We loved the house & and grounds, although it was quite hard to see some of the exhibits. The tunnels were very spooky.
We felt privileged as we had Christen to ourselves, and although sometimes that can feel awkward on this occasion, it felt we were taking an interesting walk with a young, knowledgeable friend.
Definitely recommend this if you're interested in the history of the island.
