A must do in Nassau - A great way to see downtown Nassau and learn about the history and the local food. Easy walk - everything quite close together and no major hills. Fantastic food and drink at each stop. Our tour guide Lelly was the best! Very knowledgeable about history, food, and taught us how to say things properly here in the Bahamas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would recommend to do this tour early in your visit to Nassau - a great intro and Lelly answered all our practical questions to make our whole week run smoothly. A much better way to see downtown than sweating through the tourist traps and souvenir shops. #Lellyforgovernorgeneral

Great insight of Nassau - Nelly (I think that was her name) was an awesome tour guide. During the samples, she would talk to us like we were all family. The sights and samples were wonderful. People were so pleasant. I would advise people that this is a very physical walk that has a lot of uphill. Pace yourself and you will make it.

Stop reading and just BOOK THE TOUR! - What a great experience!!! We’ve been here for 3 days and THIS is the food I’ve been waiting for! The tour started with my favorite dish— a plate of true Bahamian flavors! Princess did an amazing job of detailing each dish and the process of making these traditional items. Thank you for a great tour and introducing us to the Bahamian culture!
