Great insight into Bahamas culture and history with Ritchie! - We had the best time on this walking tour with Ritchie. We were very impressed with Ritchie’s attention-to-detail and the personal touch he brought to the entire tour. He truly gave us an insider’s view into Nassau’s history and culture. His sense of humor made the entire trip come alive as well! Additionally, the booking and logistics were seamless and the office and all the employees at Dilly Dally were so thoughtful. I will definitely visit again.

A bit of the past and present. - It was a good casual tour of the town and history. Walked to a variety of places and there were a few little surprises along the way. I won't spoil them here. It was a good mix of getting a feeling of everyday life in the city and a perspective of how it came to be over the last couple hundred years. Our guide was a genuine pleasure to walk around with.

TRUELY AMAZING! - This tour was amazing! The young man that guided me was very polite and knowledgeable of the area and history of bahamas 🇧🇸. Learned about John Canoe, the warrior-king from West Africa who was a merchant and navigator in the Bahamas. An annual celebration is named in his honor called Junkanoo. Very knowledgeable of local plants and animals. Went to a beautiful art gallery show casing the history of the Bahamas. Went to some local historical land marks and stopped by a few local shops and distilleries. 10/10 for sure! Stay focused little bro, you gonna be intellectual threat! I pray for the best!

History, Art, Wine and Chocolates in 2.5 Hours - We had a great 2.5 hours with Charles who took us through the picture spots and historical sights of Nassau. While all of these spots (which included the Queen’s Staircase, the Central Bank, the fort lookout, and a number of historical buildings) were walking distance to the port, the tour was so much worth it because Charles lead the way and provide us with history and stories from a local.
For art lovers, we also passed by the small art gallery.
As a “bonus”, Charles brought us to a free wine tasting - we liked it so much that we paid $5 to get six more shots and even bought a bottle. We also visited a chocolate factory (Graycliff) and taste a bonbon, and a rum factory which had a bar.
The tour begun at their office and ended up at the Straw Market - both very walkable to the port.

Good value very informative - This was a very informative tour about the Nassau. Family did the tour as an excursion we found on our own while staying at the Bahr Mar Resort. Took can to meeting location and began. Received earpiece which was a nice touch and made hearing the tour guide much easier.
Put on comfortable shoes. Lots of walking and there are hills.
Tour guide was informative and responded to questions along the tour about the country. Definitely worth the $$ saw several other tours at same locations.
