This guidebook is excellent!We finally got away from the all inclusives and went to the East Coast of the island.We stayed at a fabulous B&B in Bathsheba that was mentioned in this book.The sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep at the Sea-U guest house.We went over to the Andromeda Gardens which were close and saw beautiful tropical flora.This book had great hiking information in it as well.I am going to remember this trip for a long time and want to thank the author for sending us to such wonderful, not to miss places! Posted on August 7, 2010 Major Vrana says... If you are planning to visit the exotic, mysterious land of British-ruled Barbados, you will be met by a blend of English and African cultures, temperatures that can only be experienced near the equator and waters so blue you may wonder if you're seeing a mirage.This Explore Barbados guide provides everything you need to know whether you're an armchair traveler, a first time visitor or a returning guest.Learn about island history (Columbus didn't discover or name this island), people, flora and fauna, politics, climate, lodging, food, music, festivals and sight seeing opportunities you won't want to miss.The pages contain a diverse wealth of information that readers will not find in traditional travel guides. For instance, Pariser warns visitors about the poisonous "machineel" that grows along the beaches, the "poison tree" and the "cow itch vine."Descriptive accounts of animals will make it easy for travelers to recognize Barbados Green Monkeys, Blackbelly Sheep and a variety of tropical birds and reptiles.I visited Barbados in 1998 and I wish I had read this guidebook before I traveled.Review by JoAnna Carey, Author of Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life Posted on August 7, 2010 Maddie Steadham says... After having liced in B'dos for almost 6 months, I can honestly say that this is the most comprehensive guide around.On addition to discussing the culture, the book provides information that in not otherwise readily available unless you spend time with the Bajans.

If you are contemplating a trip to Barbados, begin your preparations with Harry Pariser's Explore Barbados! Posted on August 8, 2010 Lissette Wotton says... I've been looking for a place to relocate and after Praiser's first edition i knew it was Barbados. With his third edition i was ready and went with only reading his book and i was so amazed on how the book captured the beauty and told how it really was in Barbados there is just too much information on each page there is no way you could remember it all! Posted on August 9, 2010 Rod Jordan says... I have recently returned from Barbados (the visit took place before receiving the Harry S. Pariser version of "Explore Barbados"), and can attest that the information contained therein is the most accurate currently available in Barbados guide-books of similar scope. This is a "must have" copy for first-time visitors to Barbados to see all of the most familiar and most of the least familiar sights and activities available on the small island. While the book cannot improve the rather poor surface condition of Barbados roads, it certainly shows maps of which roads should be taken to access the unforgettable beautiful sights and locations of activities. Herbert A. Hutchinson Posted on August 9, 2010 Hien Berrio says... Harry Pariser's Explore Barbados is the best coverage of the island that I've seen. Besides hotels and inns, restaurants and activities, it details all sorts of fun stuff--like highways are just country roads, notes about the Bajans quirks and Creole rites, sidenotes on Vanilla orchids,odd uses of Aloe, like mothers using it to stop thumbsucking and a wonderful glossary of local lingo. Tidbits are scattered throughout -- i.e. The walking stick around a house may forecast a death in the family. The overall layout and design is nice with easy to read maps, beautiful photos and nice legible type. It's a joy to read and use. Posted on August 9, 2010 Yaeko Zelenka says... A terrific guide. If you truly want to feel like you know Barbados in every way, this is the book to use to plan a trip, and to consult while you're there. The author obviously knows the island, and island life, intimately. Using this book makes for a fulfilling journey. Posted on August 10, 2010 Delphine Lekwa says... We really enjoyed ourselves in Barbados usiing this guide. Barbados is very compact, and the only town is the capitol city of Bridgetown which is OK but not the best place to hang out in. Thanks to this book we were able to travel to the east coast and visit the small village of Bathsheba, discover the natural areas to the north, and really appreciate what we were seeing. Also, the guide lists small bed and breakfasts and local restaurants. The websites listed were useful as well as the information we found on the publisher's website. We really recommend that you check outsome of the natural areas such as Barclay's Park and Welchmans Gully. You should make your reservations before you go, because everywhere can be reached in a short period of time. Although all of the bus routes are listed in detail, we found it easier to rent a car.
