Personal tour of history, art, and food - My family ended up being the only guests on the tour and enjoyed the personal bike tour. It was nice to get farther into the city and avoid the crowds. Our guide, Don, was knowledgeable and funny! I personally enjoyed the stop at the art museum for some a.c. and culture.

All around town. - My husband and I really enjoyed the bike tour. Richie was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and took us to many enjoyable spots around the island. I recommend going with a guide who knows the streets and their way around the town.

Super fun way to see Nassau! - Had a really great time seeing the sights and learning about Nassau! Our guide Don took care to make sure our group of 10 stayed safe and provided lots of good background and local history. Tour was flexible so we rode over to Fish Fry instead of eating at the distillery- was glad to see this unique local site. Riders should be comfortable riding bikes in an urban setting (read: traffic, uneven sidewalks, construction). Overall a great way to see a bit of Nassau!

Bike exploring on Nassau - We rented bikes while on the island to go exploring. The owners of Dilly Dally were great, not only did they give us a map of the island and point out highlights to go see but gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch. I highly recommend them for bike rentals or a bike tour. Just be sure to have cash.

Nassau is not a good place for a bike tour - Nassau is not designed for biking. Our guides were very good and did the best they could, but the streets of Nassau are Too busy and narrow for safe biking. Also, 4 hours is way too long for this tour. We had one of the guides bring us back to the shop after about 2 hours. The interesting history is easily done in the first hour.
