Nassau highlights - This was a walking tour that we booked during our Thanksgiving cruise. Charles was an excellent tour guide. It was a great way to hit all the highlights of Nassau. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent walking tour of Nassau - Fantastic walking tour of Nassau, the young man that was our guide (apologies for not remembering his name) was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We got to see far more than if we'd opted to explore on our own. Would definitely recommend!

Great way to see Nassau - We had a great time on our tour. Our family ended up being the only people on the tour so we were able to take our time and ask questions. We really appreciated getting to see Nassau up close.

Fun tour - We had a fun and interesting tour with Richie, visiting lots of spots that I’d never been to before. Richie was entertaining and well-informed, and we had a super enjoyable 3 hours with him! Learned lots, and also got to see some places that we never would have walked to on our own! He was very safety- conscious and we felt very comfortable. Nice young man who was easily able to relate to us 3 middle-aged ladies.

Fun Walk in Downtown - We had a great time with our tour guide, Don! We accidentally missed our distillery tour, but Don gave us a personal tour because he used to work there. All the other sites were really fun, and it was great not having to figure out how to get from place to place by ourselves. We bought lots of souvenirs like wine, cigars, and gifts from the straw market.

Kind, intelligent, safety minded guide, needs more historical depth - The place was easy to find and Ritchie is a kind, smart young man who knows the city well and is very courteous, reassuring and was constantly checking with us to make sure we were doing well. He was non stop looking out for our safety from incoming traffic and bumps/potholes we were navigating. He has a great sense of humor and evident depth of thinking. However, we are more history curious people and felt his presentation lacked substance. I wish he had given us more historical background for the city as well as referenced the different buildings’ history. Personally we are not interested in wine and chocolate tasting or purchasing, we chose to skip , wished we heard more about the history of that neighborhood. I loved that he pointed to several of the local plants and trees, and shared with us a bit about his family and local culture! Maybe we should have picked a historical tour of Nassau, if that existed.

Unfortunately A total waste of time - Unfortunately this tour wasn’t as advertised. We did not have a professional guide. The young man who walked us around apparently was not trained with a script on what to show us and what was advertised. I’m sorry but I cannot recommend this tour at all. The ear pieces were full of static as well. The street paths taken were full of broken and uneven sidewalks or at times we were walking in the busy streets. We left the tour before it ended.
