Excellent Nassau Tour with Nikki - We had an excellent Nassau tour starting with Nikki picking us up from Baha Mar. Nikki had great energy and we knew we chose the right tour and guide right from the start!
We were able to experience some of the authentic and historical sights outside of our resort. My kids gained some valuable information about the history of Nassau and are talking about the tour and destinations after we left. In fact, we bought several rum cakes to go, so we’ll all be enjoying and remembering some of the tastier aspects of the tour!
