Stellar tour! - This is one of the best tours we’ve done! Charles was a lovely tour guide and in our 3 hour adventure we were able to see so much of the Bahamas from the Queens Staircase to the John Watling’s Distillery. We were a group of 7 and it was a perfect size for a walking tour. 10/10 recommend

Knowledgeable, attentive and friendly local guide - Steven was great! A very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly local guide. He made sure we were well hydrated and looked after. It’s an easy walk with some hills and steps but we took our time as it was hot. Very happy to recommend!

Definitely Recommend! - The tour was the highlight of our cruise week. Our guide Charles and his wife were wonderful hosts and guides of Nassau. Charles was so knowledgeable, pointing out historical and interesting places along the tour with stories and history. We had enough time to browse at our stops without feeling rushed. I highly recommend Dilly Dally tours!

Nice tour of Nassau - Nice tour through Nassau at a very comfortable pace. Our guide knew a lot to tell and we stopped at the national art museum (not very big), a wine tasting, chocolate factory and a rum distillery with the usual shopping possibilities.

We enjoyed our walking... - We enjoyed our walking tour, it was great getting to see some of the Bahamas outside of the resort. Our guide Stephen was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a sightseeing walk and learning more about Nassau and the Bahamas. The food and drink samples along the way were also very nice!

Highly recommend! - We had a great walking tour with Charles and his wife. He made sure we were safe crossing streets and pointed out numerous places and told stories along the way. The samples we tried along the route was a nice treat also. A great way to spend a few hours learning the history of the Bahamas.

Great tour! - The tour was fantastic. Charles uses headsets so you can hear all of his interesting tidbits of history and information. Nice pace to the walking tour. Fast enough to keep the interest up but still enough time to soak in the local vibe. Everyone in town seemed to know Charles! Highly recommend.

Walking Tour of Downtown Nassau - Our tour guide Charles was extremely knowledgeable and funny too! The commentary and information Charles provided on our walk was easily understood and we could hear him through the earpieces provided. You could tell Charles was very proud to be Bahamian and his extensive knowledge of its history was very apparent. A bottle of water was provided and there were a few chances to stop at a bathroom along the tour.

Excellent tour guide but point of interests are limited as a walking tour - The tour guide is very well prepared and good to provide the tour. The paste fits our group and the tour was very informative. Well done for the guide. But the place of interests in Nassau is in general not that interesting that this walking tour is a must-do.
