Great walking tour with Charles - Great tour for an overview and history of Nassau and current times.
Charles was an excellent guide, so friendly courteous and extremely patient. One person in our group (not in our family) decided he wanted to lead the group. Charles was amazingly patient with this person’s rudeness. Charles kept a reasonable pace and gave us plenty of rests in the shade. All the stops were very interesting, fun and informative. All six of us in our family enjoyed the tour very much.
Thanks you Charles 🙂

Great sightseeing - I had a great time sightseeing and talking about Nassau/ Bahamas with Charles. I was the only person who turned up but the tour still went ahead. We got totally soaked but it was well worth it. I'd happily do it again. Thank you!

Great day walking in Nassau - . Water bottles and listening devices were provided. Office staff (Sonia) welcoming and helpful. Ray, our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend if you don’t mind a good walk.5+ miles, moderate terrain/stairs. Bring good walking shoes. Lots of fun. We loved Ray!

Great walking tour - Had a great 3 hours with Stephen our walking tour guide. He was very accommodating and we never felt we were in a rush between the main places we visited. Nassau has surprising number of ‘hidden treasures’ that can be uncovered by this tour. It was the right mix of walking outside with inside air conditioned places to visit. Just make sure you take plenty of water as well as pictures…

We had a wonderful time... - We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Stephen. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. Our tour included the Queens Staircase, several government buildings, and other historical sites. The last half of the tour included sampling local wine, chocolate, and rum. It was a tasty way to wrap things up. I also want to give Dilly Dally a special shout out because it was very hot the day of our tour and they went above and beyond providing extra water and constant checks to make sure the members of our party were OK. I give them my highest recommendation.

Excellent walking tour of Nassau city highlights - Really appreciated the friendly guides. We got a reminder call shortly before. It was a really great way to see the city highlights, learn some of the history and get some tips on things to do during our stay. Would highly recommend!

Fun Walk in the Sun - Charles was very informative about all of the sites we visited, kind, and easy to talk to. My family and I enjoyed the various tastings we were offered and all of the locations he took us to. We would gladly do it again!

Great value! - Really excellent your - one of few walking tours that I could find. Affordable and not near as manufactured and corporate as other tours. Charles takes you to all the must see sights, talks about the history of each place and points out a ton of buildings on the way - he even covers native trees and their properties. Get some exercise and go on this tour!

A wonderful afternoon tour - Steven was a wonderful guide. He is truly knowledgeable about the history of Nassau and the Bahamas. He answered every question we threw at him since my husband and I are history buffs. We got lucky since there was only one cruise ship in town, our tour was just the two of us. It felt more like walking around with a good friend instead of a tour. The first hour was really focused on the history of the town and its buildings. The next part included a wine tasting, and a chocolate tasting. Very fun. We stopped at the National Gallery of Art which is in a cool old mansion. The focus is on artists of the Bahamas and while it is small I found it charming. The sculpture called Lucayan woman was a favorite. Our last stop was the rum distillery which gave us even more cool history in another old mansion. Loved having a drink in their big bar room. If you are looking to go really into the background of this interesting island you cannot go wrong with Dilly Dally. We are grateful to Steven for such a nice afternoon. Wear hat, sunscreen and sneakers. They provided the water.
