Anthea is really just wonderful. She's knowledgeable, kind, flexible, and I really can't say enough. She also helped us arrange a boat day and other outings.
You won't regret seeing Nassau with her! My favorite part of the tour was getting to see all of the local scenery and historic landmarks in Nassau. Nettie was an awesome tour guide!! She was kind and taught us a lot about Nassau history.
Highly recommend!! Well worth the money. Our family took this tour last week, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Tyrone did a wonderful job of sharing some of the history of Nassau and of the Bahamas with us. All of the stops along the tour were good; I especially liked touring the old fort and seeing the beautiful garden at the Ocean Club.
The kids loved Atlantis and seeing some of the aquarium, and of course they loved the stop at the candy store where we purchased some authentic Bahamian candies. Earl was an outstanding tour guide! My husband and I had a blast cruising around downtown on the ATVs.
Best way to see the sights in Nassau!! This was such a fun excursion. Close to Nassau so no extended time on the boat getting there. The activities were super fun and the beaches were beautiful. It was our favorite part of our whole vacation. This tour was a great time. We got to see all of Nassau. So easy to find once we got off the cruise. We had a fabulous tour with our guide Orchid.
She wrapped local history, vast knowledge of rum and pirates together with a wonderful walk through Nassau into one excellent tour. Highly recommend it as a way to see the historic capital. We learned a lot from our drivers about the island and what to do while in Nassau.

We got to see way more on this tour than any of the others offered this was my 3rd time in Nassau and Shonel took us to spots that I'd never known existed.
Shonel was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. When visiting the shopping area, she provided invaluable advice on getting the best products at a great cost.
When the tour was done, she offered to drop us off anywhere on the island, but we'd shopped so much along the way that we had to go back to the boat.
I highly recommend taking this tour! Everything was amazing from start to finish. My boyfriend and I were visiting the Bahamas for a long weekend 3 days and booked the 5 hour tour at noon. After we arrived to the Bahamas we quickly realized that we should change our tour to the earlier time slot since this would take up a good chunk of the day if we were to start the tour at noon.
They were extremely accommodating about us changing the time of our tour and with such short notice! The pick up was super easy as well. We just simply told them what hotel we were staying at SLS Baha Mar and they were there to pick us up directly from the hotel and on time! The woman that picked us up was also very friendly and gave us history of the island on the way to the tour which was amazing! Now for the actual tour, this was such a fun way to see Nassau!!!
Our tour guide EJ was hilarious and so knowledgeable! I was nervous about driving an atv on the main streets but EJ made sure we felt comfortable and did a great job directing us through the streets of Nassau.
We stopped at historic stops Queens staircase, forts, etc , a distillery, wine and chocolate tasting and a beautiful beach. I honestly couldn't think of a better way to tour the island.
We would recommend it to anyone visiting Nassau and would like to get off the resorts to see the island! We also had the opportunity to visit Tasty Teas and the John Watling Distillery before ending our tour back where we started. We had a wonderful walking tour with our guide, Frederick. He arrived promptly to meet us for our 9 AM tour, and he provided us with a tremendous amount of information about the Bahamas, its history, and bush medicine. We walked the streets of Nassau and down the Queen's Steps.
The weather was quite warm, and he made sure that everyone in our group was hydrated and able to keep pace with the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and Frederick to anyone looking to get a local's glimpse into life on Nassau. Thanks for making our visit special! Highly recommend for those who don't want to do alot of walking but want to see a quick and easy overview of Nassau from land and sea.

We met our guide ONE may be spelled differently in McDonald's parking about 10 min walk from port - need to ask any local directions, very easy.

Next we went to Fort forgot the name - old fortress built by British to defend from French who never actually tried to capture this island.
Since our tour was on Friday - we had a chance to see changing guards and witnessed cannon shot a kind of local tradition. Next we went to local beach and took a swim while our guide was patiently waiting on us on a shore And finally we had a stop at local food market to sample conch delicacies.
