Way better than the normal tourist traps - Spectacular excursion. Jason was a perfect guide, rum tasting was a delight, loved the history of the area, and the mixology was a great way to end it. Do yourself a favor and skip the beach, avoid the normal tourist spots, and try this delightful tour.

Islandz Tours - Rum Tasting and tour of John Watling’s - Jason is an excellent tour guide. I absolutely enjoyed my time touring with him. I appreciated his passion for the history and sharing with me. I highly recommend anyone to request Jason for the John Watling’s rum tasting. You will not be disappointed.

Private Guided Tour Through Downtown Nassau - We had such an amazing time on the tour with Fox! There were plenty of stops and the speakeasy was a nice opportunity to really savor the rum and make a cocktail. Since we did not have much time in downtown, it was helpful to have someone navigate the way. I highly recommend this tour.
