[@RegenTanzer1]

Another very nice driving tour out of Bridgetown. Thank you.

[@RastaLivity4Life]

Nice video. You passed both my grandparents homes. I grew-up in pilgrim road and you passed directly infront of my childhood home. Loved it. Nice to see the place is still in good shape. Will visit again shortly. Blessings.

[@terrysmith4608]

Thank you for the journey and the memories 👍🏾

[@love4lust7301]

My Barbados looking good.. wow

[@horizonsglobalmedia]

D & J Drives series is probably the best tour of Barbados' towns, villages and landscape I have seen so far. Your coverage provides more detail and precise commentary than other vlogs I have watched. I like the fact that you do not just stick to the coastal roads and main streets like most other vlogs. D & J Drives takes the viewer road by road exploring the area. The viewer get a sense of being there and experiencing what you are describing. At end of each tour ,the viewer comes away with a captivating visual experience of Barbados.

My Grandmother was from Bridgetown and always talked about Sam Lord's Castle.

[@chrisgayle559]

I am a Jamaican who was in Barbados for a year and when I was there Sam Lord's Castle was in ruins, it's great to see it rebuilt. Also I watch the whole video and it brings back great memories I have of Barbados. I remember most of the drive from 8 years ago. ❤ the video and I love Barbados very much. I can remember lots of Friday nights in Oistens

[@DJDrives5018]

It's now a Wyndham Hotel, but they kept the Sam Lord's Brand

[@fazirbuckreedan5167]

Nice place.... looking forward to a vacation

[@glowgore]

That's my neighbourhood. The actual San Lords Castle is still neglected and in ruins.

[@user-xp4ej4ww7v]

Lovely video. I am a Jamaican who visit Barbados every year for twenty one years. I was so excited to learn names of places I passed for years. Lovely video Bajans should be proud of their country. I just love Barbados🏖️👙🌴💃

Thank you very much for showing this video , i am from st.. Martin st. Philip and to see my old school and church bring back so much memories , i reside in the USA now

[@ajwatson9974]

My late grandmother who I never met was from Rices St Philip. She was christened in St Martins Church. I visited Barbados for the first time in 1999 and stayed in St Philip. It’s my favourite parish. I never met her she died in 1946 in Black Rock Hospital. Leaving my Mother at 15yrs..

Thanks for the drive. I have enjoyed Barbados every time we have gone there. We usually stayed somewhere nere Rockly Beach. We like the fact that Barbados is so pleasant, people are so friendly, and the island is so safe.

Why did Cave Shepherd changed its name. 😮 Also, please take a ride around eagle hall, bank hall and Dash road. Thanks.

[@adnamaj00]

I am so grateful to you for making these videos. My only concern is that Barbados does not seem to have any crosswalks. I do not remember if they had them when I lived there 30 years ago but they do need them.

[@lindarawlings7766]

Thank you so much, I do enjoy every bit of this video

[@user-dd4onX]

Bridgetown Barbados. Folks just walking peacefully. While Nassau The Bahamas we are under a travel advisorie. As crime and violence have us looking around constantly over our shoulders, back and forth. 😔😏.

[@DJDrives5018]

There is crime in Barbados also, but that's not usually highlighted. Crimes are solved quickly here and everyone understands tourism is the driver of the economy. The focus in Barbados is about stamping out crime

Absolutely beautiful video!! Hope to see more! Could I kindly ask of you, could you consider driving around St Philip as there are such beautiful homes there that would be lovely!!! I know I’m asking again I don’t want to appear cheeky and it’s absolutely fine if want to give someone else a chance❤ Thanks again for the video!!😀

[@DJDrives5018]

Thanks for the feedback and kind support. What parts of St. Philip would you like to see?

[@yolandagriffith6851]

@@DJDrives5018 Hi, thanks for your reply! I’m not totally familiar with the specific areas of St Phillip but I am familiar with Atlantic Shores , the homes around that area are very nice. Anywhere you recommend would be just fine! Thank you!

Atlantic Shores is a development in Christ Church. We will work on it

Hi...that was Golden Square Freedom Park and not Heroes Square. The latter is actually close to Parliment Buildings

[@DJDrives5018]

Thanks for feedback. We realised much later but could not correct it at that time. Look out for our tour of Bridgetown where the correct information will be shared. Apologies for the error.

Thanks for watching!

[@haynesdarlington792]

Thanks for your videos “Driving in Barbados”. If I may, can I make a couple of suggestions? While i like your commentary while driving, you should widen your camera lens for us to receive a more panoramic view especially when driving through the countryside, and when possible, reduce speed when you notice a structure of importance …i liked when you made double circles around the Roundabouts to increase points of interest. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@antoniobabb1938]

Always look run down no improvement born in 2001 growing up and still run down

[@ajwatson9974]

It is! since my first visit to Barbados in 1999 it looks rough no where like a capital of a country should look!!

[@user-dj9wb5sj8n]

Sound foolish. Every country capital looks a little rough in some parts

[@landedeagle4596]

😂😅

[@gymbuddy32]

​@@user-dj9wb5sj8n The WHOLE capital is sadly rough. No investment has been made in Bridgetown. Decades ago the capital was a place to visit and shop when it had department stores like Harrisons and Da Costa.

I agree, Bridgetown look run down and it don't look attractive.

[@patrickforde2148]

When you are a UNESCO designated location, unfortunately you cannot make too many dramatic changes to the old traditional structures.
