Recommended - We loved our tour of Nassau guided by Nikki. The tour was as described and Nikki was very friendly, knowledgeable, and just plain enjoyable to be with. If you enjoy a bit of history, seeing some sites outside of the resorts, and getting a taste of a couple of local treats this is a great choice.

5 Star for Tyrone - Tyrone was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable about the islands! We made quite a few stops but had just the right amount of time at each stop (didn’t feel rushed but didn’t get bored). We stopped at a local chocolate store to sample chocolates and wine. We then toured the local distillery for a short tour and of course, samples of the Rum. Next stop was the Queen’s Staircase.. absolutely stunning. We stopped at a local shop and sampled Rum Cake and in Tyrone’s words, liquid Gold. We then jumped over to the other island for a stop at Atlantis. Before leaving the island, we stopped at the local beach… breathtaking.

Go with best TYRON WILSON TOURS!!! - Our tour guide,Nikki was the absolute BEST!!! This was my third trip to the Bahamas and I use them every single time. They are very knowledgeable and take you places that other tour guides may not. If ever you’re in the Bahamas and would like a very fun and knowledgeable tour, BOOK WITH TYRON WILSON’S TOUR GUIDE AND TAXI SERVICE.

Excellent tour by Tyrone - Excellent way to see the local area. Tyrone was a great host… excellent commentary, provided water as required, and took us to a rum distillery, rum cake factory, a trip to Atlantis, and a stop off at the beach. Just one suggestion, collection point is at the fountain outside the cruise terminal (I spent 20 minutes wandering!)

On our own but with help from Tyrone! - Tyrone was very professional and great to deal with! We got off the cruise ship with plans to try and sightsee on our own but had no idea where to start. We met Tyrone outside the straw market and he was courteous and assured us we would enjoy a tour with his company and he was correct! We actually went with a private tour and our driver Nikki was excellent! She was extremely informative and made sure we did everything we wanted in the time had with her which was 2 and a half hours.

Best tour on the island! - We were absolutely thrilled with every part of this tour, from the rum cake factory visit to the chocolate factory visit, visit to The Queen’s staircase, wine tasting And other sites. Karon, Our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about this island and its history and shared much information with us. In addition to that, he was so extremely funny we couldn’t stop laughing the whole tour. We were so happy that we were able to tour the Island with him and learn so much about the Bahaman culture and lifestyle! If you are looking for a tour of Nassau, we would definitely recommend this one!!
