Outstanding beautiful island nation "Barbados". Thank you for sharing and taking the time to narrate all the sites, all the activities that can be done which you personally enjoyed doing there. Also what a a great young man you are to spend time like this with your family. I did that with my folks and I am so glad that I did because now I only have my mom. We both loved viewing your awesome escapade to Grenada and at the Calabash Hotel & Resort. All the best to you in 2024.
Go easy on the rum punch. Its flavor tends to mask the amount of alcohol it contains. As a result, since it's usually quite delicious, there's a tendency to drink a lot of it, and before you realize it you're drunk! I'm a Bajan, so I know what I'm talking about.
That was my thoughts too. I was watching them drink it like a soft/pop drink..and i don't know how he finish the tour still standing and talking.. As Bajans say..'you can get mash up' with rum punch.
Hey Matt, I used your Azorres video last year to plan my trip and had a total blast. You really helped us get under the skin of the island and looking forward to doing the same in Barbados. Great work dude!
I’m going to a Villa next to mullins beach on Thursday for 2 weeks. It will be my 3rd time in the last 4 years going to Barbados. I’m so excited it should be class!
Greetings from Montreal! I was in Barbados a couple of weeks ago for the very first time, and there is soooo much to see. Yours looked like a great tour, you saw some things that I didn't get to visit because we were only there a week. Ideas for next visit! You are very good presenter and give a lot of good information. Thanks Matt 🙂
Barbados is such a beautiful place! Love your video too! Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane.
Again a lovely presentation!!! Here is the recipe for authentic rum punch if you’d like. 1 of sour - lemon / lime 2 of sweet - simple syrup (brown sugar) 3 of strong - rum 4 of weak - ice / water (use water if you prefer more diluted version) That is the ratio for a typical Barbadian rum punch.
Loved the series .🇧🇧🇧🇧 ❤️ I also appreciate how you took the time and dedication to learn everything as possible about my island as well as educating your viewers along every step of the way. 👏🏽👏🏽 Hope to see you back soon !
I lived over there for 2 years 🥰 You forgot to talk about Harrison Cave... and Mount Gay, the oldest rum house of the world. Anyway. You did a good job. The video summed up the essentials of Barbados. Love this 👍🏼❤
Hey man! I’m coming down in April. Looks like online you have to buy a minimum of 2 tickets for this tour. Is there a way around it as I am going solo?
If it was a local, you would still have an unfavourable comment. Thank You Matt. I'm so glad you enjoys Bim.. Next time i'm home i should go on your tour, i've never seen that person selling rum punch on my tours. You're the best promoter of Barbados i've seen. Thank You..
I don't think she meant it like you took it, because locals don't get out and do touristy things ...because its taken for granted . We did picnics spots as outings on bank holidays or moonlit nights.
Hey mate! We are also in the same place for holidays now, and maybe we can catch togheter to take a trip with cliff sharker for snorkeling? Im with my wife, and we are lookin for good company to see the turtles and have good time
Hans, [1] it is very safe in Barbados and most parts of the Caribbean. Just take normal precautions: e.g., stay in the safety of numbers and public spaces as much as possible. Avoid being alone or in secluded spots. [2] To live in Barbados or most islands in the Caribbean can be as expensive/luxurious or as cheap as you choose. E.g., there are places that you can rent for under U.S.$500 per week . . . or you can find villas and hotels that cost thousands per NIGHT. There is a great variety on the island . . . in everything from food to accommodation to activities to festivals to entertainment to social events . . . and it is really up to you how much or how little you spend in the end.
To my knowledge, it's not "Foul Beach" either, but Foul Bay or Foul Bay Beach. I could be wrong about that though, as I don't live in that part of the island. I'm in Rendezvous.
michael reidy, no, all COVID-19 restrictions have been removed in Barbados and throughout the Caribbean. The world has changed radically since year 2021 and tourism and the cruise-industry are fully back to pre-pandemic normal capacity, itineraries, products, and services. Enjoy fully! Of course, it is still highly recommended to practise basic protocols such as wearing a good-quality mask in airports, during flights, and in crowded places. Always good idea to practise good hygiene and sanitation. Physical distancing makes things more comfortable for everyone, as well as safer health-wise.
Video is great, but wear your damn mask when close to people. It's the law in Barbados. Putting locals' lives at risk is not work the views. I know a lot of the scenes you weren't close to people, but in others you were (inside the taxi). Frankly it'd be more authentic and promote expectations for responsible visitors.
You should visit the real Barbados bro..the rough one! And take the vans or a reggae bus instead of a private driver..your video is fake for the fake society to see it!
I do not know how much you have experienced Barbados or the rest of the Caribbean, but there is so much to do, to see, to touch, to taste, and to experience, it is an amazing country/region! I think that the biggest issue is how IGNORANT most people are about all that is available, and that includes many people who live on the island (or in the region). E.g., persons from the South might rarely or never visit places in the North or the East. It is surprisingly easy to become comfortable and familiar with the cosmopolitan urban corridor from Oistins to Holetown and to forget that that is only a 1/4 of the island (i.e., 3 out of 11 Parishes).
Anissa Talbi, Barbados has done very well in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Its case-rate and death-rate are well below the global average. We saw what happened in Britain, U.S.A., and elsewhere and learned not to take things for granted health-wise. To this day, many people practise basic precautions such as enhanced hygiene and sanitation, wearing of masks in public/indoor places, physical distancing, and getting vaccinated.
He is cute but so over the top😅 he talks too much and the way he moves his head always when he speaks its a bit odd haha also the hand LOL must have been the alcohol 😂
orep Epstein, Did you mean "mask"? Highly recommended in airports, flights, and crowded indoor spaces like public transportation and tours. Basic public-health measure to stay healthy during your expensive travels. Nothing worse than illness to ruin a great vacation.

All this is very true...as Ive learned first hand as a fellow Bajan
Im bajan so i know what im talking about 😅
Very passionate Vlogger. Great in-depth information and keep doing this!
Much appreciated!
Hey Matt, I used your Azorres video last year to plan my trip and had a total blast. You really helped us get under the skin of the island and looking forward to doing the same in Barbados. Great work dude!
Such a fab video! I’m in Barbados every week so I’ll definitely check these thing out! Went for a walk in Bridgetown the other day! So fun!
Amazing! Have fun
Google Bard recommended me this video. No kidding! I typed in "video barbados". It gave me link to this video. Very good video.
I’m going to a Villa next to mullins beach on Thursday for 2 weeks. It will be my 3rd time in the last 4 years going to Barbados. I’m so excited it should be class!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Que lugar lindo queria muito conhecer onde viveram meus avós 😢
Barbados🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
Stumbled across this channel. Why do I have to learn do much about Barbados from a foreigners.
Haha, I’ve got lots more to share!
If it was a local, you would still have an unfavourable comment.

OH OH,I got me RUM !
Yessss so much
I wanna try the breadfruit tacos.
Hey mate!
We are also in the same place for holidays now, and maybe we can catch togheter to take a trip with cliff sharker for snorkeling?
Im with my wife, and we are lookin for good company to see the turtles and have good time
im not there anymore, but you can book all these tours, links are in my description
Yellow Meat does the Breadfruit tacos as well.
How safe is it on barbados?
And how expensive is it when you live on barbados?

@@brentshuffler1234 thank you for the reply and you know what a all in clusive holiday cost? I think arround the 4 a 5K voor 8 a 14 days.
We bajan are mixed of English Irish and Scottish and jewish Dutch and African.
Yep!
I know this isn’t your usual content you upload but can you do a video on your whole big brother experience
Maybe 😉
I can't seem to find glory tours anymore. Have they changed their name?
Yes! The link to this tour is here: www.viator.com/en-GB/Diamond-Valley/d50198-ttd/p-3743P29?pid=P00050740&mcid=42383&medium=link
@@TheMattJames thank you so much!☺️
What to do in Antigua
never have a shirt on and no sun burn cool
Not bad is it haha
Hi Matt, is it free to enter the animal flower cave?
Not sure, we went with a tour so it was included
The link to the tour is in my description
any fruits or vegetable stores.....i am a different animal....
Der Fahrer trägt sogar eine Maske. Aber einige der Fahrgäste keine Oberbekleidung. Wenn man zu einem Strand fährt macht es Sinn.
I’m searching Barbados to find videos but there is not a lot of videos ps I live their and I went to George Washington house
I have a full video series on Barbados! Check it out :)
I featured Barbados. ❤ You can check it out
I'm from BIM
Lucky!
Just a note: there is no 's on the names of any of the parishes. So it's St. Philip and St. John etc, not St. Philip's and St. John's.
To my knowledge, it's not "Foul Beach" either, but Foul Bay or Foul Bay Beach. I could be wrong about that though, as I don't live in that part of the island. I'm in Rendezvous.
thanks.
Some people even from some other Caribbean countries tend to put an S at the end of the parish names.
That's not as bad as "The Barbados"
I live in Barbados so I live in an island THAT A RUclipsR FILMS!?!?!?!
You sure do!
Jealous, I miss my home
Amazing place!
Do you still have to do a PCR when landing in barbados?
Not sure you’ll have to check latest guidance

Like your vlog. People were hanged. Not hung.
Did you see Rihanna.🌼🌼🌼🥂🥂🥂
i didn't, but her old home we did!
Paige, Rihanna lives mostly in the U.S.A.; you would be lucky if you happened to see her during a home-visit to Barbados.
beware of the pot wholes they almost broke my mother's car

Haha Matt you make boring Barbados look interesting.
Anything can look exciting through drunken blurred vision.
Don't worry some day you may be able to travel around Barbados.
Barbados is anything but boring!
It is boring, full stop
