    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.

    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.

    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

      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..

    I enjoyed your drive i especially like how the videographer panned wide so it felt like you were sitting in the car. My last visit was from 2016-07-07. My only suggestion is that the commentator tor tour travels with a Bajan guide that is familiar with some of the historical aspects of the tour. A.(Arlington) DaCosta Edwards Primary School. He was the political representative for St. Andrew for many years and used to ne a Minister in DLP government under Errol Walton Barrow.

    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.
