Beautiful Tour of Nassau Highlights - I really enjoyed this tour. It was historical and also had some great stops. It was not long and no strenuous walking was involved( unless you decide to climb Victoria's Staircase).

Richie was great - We had such a great tour. Thank you to Richie who is very knowledgeable and candid. It was nice to hear about the culture life directly from a native. We did so much and had so much fun for such a low price. I would highly recommend to anyone to do this tour. Thank you richie!

Don outstanding guide - Don was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with information about the island. We were lucky it was just the two of us with our own personal guide. It was easy to find our starting point after getting off the cruise ship. We would recommend this tour and especially if you would get Don as your guide!

Excellent walking tour of Nassau - Fantastic walking tour of Nassau, the young man that was our guide (apologies for not remembering his name) was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see far more than if we'd opted to explore on our own. Would definitely recommend!

Great first timers tour - Wonderful tour for being in Nassau for first timers. Hits the highpoints of the city with pleanty of time to shop the straw market and local shops before having to get back to the ship.

Interesting parts of city but Natl Art Gallery closed - Don was a great guide and knows a lot about the city as he grew up here. Saw parts of Nassau I did not see 12 years ago when I was last here. Only disadvantage was that tour was on a Monday since cruise line stopped here only 1 day, and Natl Art Gallery was closed that day. Felt like alternative site should have been added or tour price for Monday should be lowered.

Unfortunately A total waste of time - Unfortunately this tour wasn’t as advertised. We did not have a professional guide. The young man who walked us around apparently was not trained with a script on what to show us and what was advertised. I’m sorry but I cannot recommend this tour at all. The ear pieces were full of static as well. The street paths taken were full of broken and uneven sidewalks or at times we were walking in the busy streets. We left the tour before it ended.
