We loved everything about Barbados. We will return. Our new favorite island. The people, the water, the beaches, the restaurants. Everything is great.

St. Nicholas Abbey was a great experience. From the property, to the history, the mill, and let's not forget our amazing guide Michelle. Her knowledge and delivery were unmatched. (Not to mention her freehand etching of or rum bottles from the souvenir shop)

The kind staff ready to meet the needs of all passengers of all ages. The information shared is enlightening and gives an added depth to the layers of history Barbados has to uncover. The children were very happy having assisted staff with the train. An engaging and enlightening experience. Thank you to all the staff. Including the lady at the gates. Polite and professional a first class experience

For the price $35 US dollars per person for the train ride and all you see is trees, forests and land, and you ride on it for 20 minutes, stop at the Cherry tree hill top (gorgeous breathtaking view mind) to buy local souvenirs from the locals then the engine turns around and goes back to staring point (bit of a rip off).

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to St Nicholas Abbey. The train ride, while not long was very pleasant with friendly staff on board. Stunning views at the end The Abbey itself was interesting with a knowledgeable and helpful guide

We cancelled the trip after finding out that WE had to find our own way over to the excursion at the Abbey and railway. Viator didn't have any transportation from port to the abbey, and the abbey was 40 minutes away from the port! we would have to have taken a taxi and that would be our own cost! Poor planning on Viator's part! we ended up on an independent small tour that even better than the one planned. Very disappointing with this company!

Did just the railway with 6 friends based on write up of expansion. However with covid, expansion not completed and cost ($33 US pp) of overall experience was a disappointment. Simon is quite a poet and train staff friendly and knowledgable but short trip through property wasn't worth the cost and view of Bathsheba could be done via a walk (without local "craft" hawkers at turn around). We didn't do tour of house as we felt cost was prohibitive to view just the first floor of home (also read other reviews). We also would rather spend monies on actual purchase of rum rather than a shot glass pour for the overall cost!
I was going to give just two stars but hope once expansion is completed the cost WON'T go up so value and experience would be more closely aligned.

Staff was very accommodating by letting us go on an earlier train ride instead of waiting almost 2 hours for our booked train ride. Real relief since I was worrying about getting back to the cruise ship in time.

Do to House tour… the railway is a joke. 9 mins up - 9 mins down. At the top there is a perfect view, BUT you can walk up instead (5 min) and save the money.
Not worth it!
