The Real Deal Best Tour! - Our 3 generation party ranging from 81 to 23 years old all really enjoyed this tour. This included seeing and learning about several local villages, a 300 year old light house, and visiting a rocky beach strewn with shells left by conch fishermen (free souvenirs!). We also got a glimpse of how the wealthiest 1% live, primarily celebrities with vacation homes. We learned of past and present primary industries and economic drivers in the Bahamas. Tourism is actually relatively new. We ate conch fritters and had delicious tropical drinks. We enjoyed a short stop at beautiful Taino Beach. We passed on getting the fresh conch salad there, but I suggest others eat a light breakfast in order to enjoy that local specialty. There were 4-5 stops where we got out and looked around, and most had restrooms that were clean. Charlie, our tour guide, was wonderful and answered all our questions. He's been doing this for more than 35 years, so there's no stumping him! The only slight constructive criticism would be to skip the straw market near the end of the tour since we'd already been to another souvenir market earlier on the tour. Kudos to Charlie though for helping the local economies around the island. The vendors are chill; no pressure about sales as experienced in other places in the Caribbean. This is a 2 thumbs up and 5 star tour, and a great value for the price. I recommend it without any hesitation.

What a great experience! - Charlie was fantastic! He orchestrated a wonderful day for the five of us on his tour. We saw several diverse sections of the Freeport area with ample time to experience the local culture, indulge in delicious Bahamian food and beverages, relax and have lunch at an exquisite. secluded beach away from the tourist areas, while allowing time on the way back to the Margaritaville ship for a stop at the Sands Brewery and Shop at our request. Charlie is a great guide.... friendly, fun and informative! Don't hesitate to reserve this tour, it is a great way to enjoy your visit to Freeport.

Wonderful tour, very enjoyable. - Denise, our driver and tour guide, provided a fascinating and informative trip in an air conditioned van. She had a problem with the microphone system, but her voice was loud enough to hear. We went to many areas, and saw all facets of the communities and life beyond the tourist and city areas. Stopped at a beach, farmer's market where we had some delicious conch/lobster fritters, and even a liquor store by request of another passenger. This is the tour if you want to know all about Freeport.

Great Tour For Learning About Freeport - Bradshaw gave us an amazing informative tour of the island. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We saw all aspects of the island and learned about the natives. He recommended the Bell Channel Inn for lunch. The authentic food was delicious.

2023 Family Vacation - My family recently went on a tour organized by Mamma Gal, and I feel compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. From the beginning until the end, Denise was an exceptional tour guide. She went above and beyond my expectations, making it a truly memorable and enjoyable adventure. Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the tour.

Great time exploring the Grand Bahamas! - Bradshaw gave us a wonderful tour around the island. He answered all the questions we asked with nuance, humor, and detail. We enjoyed being able to see beyond the typical tourist paths and learning more about island culture. Conch fritters were not our cup of tea, but it was still neat to try them! Ride was comfortable and he graciously agreed to photos when we asked. Thanks for a great time!

Bahamas! - George was an excellent tour guide and driver for the day. He was very knowledgeable in every aspect of the trip and made the tour even better than expected. We greatly enjoyed the flexibility to stop at each spot at have free time to explore before returning to the van. It made for a great day.

Informative - We were nearly an hour late in leaving waiting for a person who never showed up. This made us late in getting back to the ship for one of our planned activities. The van was less than new. Shock absorbers were non-existent. Clean but not new. A/C worked the microphone did not making it difficult to hear. Our guide was very informative and courteous. The places we went were interesting and we did see what there was of Freeport which is not much. Our group was fun.
