Topped off a wonderful friendcation! - We had a wonderful tour guide and tour through Nassau! We really enjoyed our group and loved learning about the history of the island, tasting amazing drinks and food, as well as meeting the best host in Jason! He was energetic, kind, fun, and insightful! My only feedback would be to make the trip also end at the Distillery where it starts so that non-cruise trippers can have a better frame of reference for taxi pick-up/ways to get back to there hotel. Additionally, I would mention just how much walking is involved - I booked my trip through my hotel's site and it didn't go as in depth as TripAdvisor did. Would have totally worn different shoes!
We really had a great time, I highly recommend! You more than get your money's worth!

Common rum, food, pirate stories what's there not to like. - Fox was an amazing tour guide. He is super knowledgeable and fun loving. Fox was able to tell us about the history of the islands, from pirates to rum and beyond. It was a blast to try the drinks and usually paired with a nice snack. If you are looking for a must do activity on the island. I would have this at the top of my list.

Incredible! - We had our excursion on 4/13/24 with Shad. It was incredible!! You get a bit of Bahamas history in the most animated and hilarious way. The 1:30 was the last available spot for us to book, shortening our time on this excursion because we had to be on the ship by 4:30. Shad considered our time, changed the route so we could experience the best part. Looooooved that. Wish we had more photos but we were so engaged, laughing and having a good time. If ever in Bahamas and you want to do this walking tour, don’t think too hard book book book! Worth it.
