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.

Nassau walking tour with Charlie -
Taking a walking tour of Nassau with Charles was like walking with an old friend. Charlie was friendly knowledgeable and proud of his town. He personalized the tour since it was just the two of us. We even got to stop at the McDonald's which wasn't on the itinerary.

Awesome tour with a great local guide! - We LOVED this tour! Charles was an amazing guide. He is a local and knew so much about Nassau and the Bahamas. He showed us and told us so much and could answer any question. We saw a ton of highlights of the area including some things that are less touristy and off the beaten path a bit. We also loved the included chocolate and wine tastings. It was a perfect afternoon walking around and seeing a new place. Charles had a leisurely walking pace, and we liked having the earpieces so we could hear him. I would highly recommend this tour if you’ve never been to Nassau! It’s worth every penny.

Best Walk Tour Experience - Dilly Dally exceeded all our expectations! They were so accommodating and friendly the minute we walked in their office. Charlie, the guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable and so much fun to have. He took us to cool places and we all learned a lot about the Bahamian Culture. If you are looking to learn about Bahamas history and culture, Dilly Dally is way to go! We highly recommend them, thank you Charlie and wife!
