Abbey is worth the Trip - I looked at this tour and had mixed feelings on the review. But this was an awesome experience. The Great House was cool to see and everything is as it was back then. We were lucky and got to see them grinding the sugar cane as well. And we got a small piece to try. The train ride was super cool too.

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

A must see experience - 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)

A light and informative excursion with elements which meet all ages. - 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

Wonderful experience - It was truly a wonderful experience...my children were thrilled and the staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend 👌

Excellent, accomodating, knowledgable staff - 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.

Pleasant outing - 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

Abbey Railway - 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.

Not worth the money - 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).

horrible excursion - 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!
