Best short tour in Nassau - Our guide Julian was just amazing and knowledgeable and took us to places we'd never see in another tour. We'd suggest this over any tour!

An Authentic and Heartfelt Journey Through Nassau’s Culture - CHIPPIES BAHAMAS Island Tours: Feel the Culture - This tour was an amazing way to experience Nassau! The host was warm and welcoming, making it a fantastic experience overall. Our guide, a passionate local, shared an incredible love for the Bahamas and its people, which really came through during the tour. In a short time, we learned so much about the country’s rich history, met wonderful people, and left excited to return. This tour doesn’t just stick to the popular spots; it also takes you into rural areas, giving insight into the real heart of the island. It might look different from what you're used to, but that’s what makes it truly special. Amazing tour, highly recommended.

Good excursion for cruise ship morning. - Honestly, we didn't catch our tour lady's name, but she was great. Very informative. We were glad to have taken the tour (which lasted almost 3 hours) vs. just wandering the port area. Went to rum cake factory, distillery, queens staircase, quick stop at her cousin's restaurant. She provided some small tastes of the island as a courtesy. She was fun. Worth the $55 each we paid.

Awesome experience - What a great tour! Fonzi was amazing! Her love for her country is evident. We had a little difficulty finding the meeting place but that was the only glitch. Fonzi showed us all around Nassau. We even walked through Atlantis casino and hotel. Could have spent a little less time there though. The Chihuly installations are amazing. Fonzi also treated us to conch fritters, a favorite of ours. Nassau has never been one of our favorite ports but Fonzi changed our mind! Highly recommend.

Great excursion - The only thing I was concerned about on the tour was how crowded the bus looked in the above picture. It wasn't the case on our tour. Plenty of room and the woman who narrated the trip was outstanding! She was full of interesting facts, cultural stories, and interacted in really nice uplifting manner.

Great Tour!! - We loved the tour! Julian did an amazing job, and I loved all the photos he brought along to show how things looked historically. He has a love for his country that is very obvious in the tour, and I’m glad he shared it with us. We were a family with 2 teens, visiting during a cruise dock, and both teens enjoyed it - one even said it was his favorite part of our whole vacation.

I enjoyed the tour wished it was longer. - Learning about the history of The Bahamas. The tour was as detailed as it says online I was hoping to visit the John distillery and have some options for shellfish allergies.
