City tour Nassau - The tour with Bahamas a sus Órdenes was amazing !! Simone was very punctual . We were a group of 7 . Simone was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history in every landmark we went . Her van was very comfortable and clean. She speaks Spanish very well so the city tour was done in English and Spanish. She was very organized . We went to la plaza Parlamentaria, Graycliff Pasarela, Fortaleza Fincastle, Torta del Ron , Atlantis and many other beautiful places. I would highly recommend Simone for any other great adventure at Nassau !! Her professionalism and punctuality made our day memorable especially in the one day in Nassau during our cruise to the Bahamas .

Great experience! - Took my mom on a cruise to Nassau and scheduled this tour with Simone through Viator. This was a great experience from start to finish. Prior to our trip, Simone emailed me to say hello. I made a few inquiries which she responded to promptly; the itinerary was even flexible. When we met up in Nassau we received a very warm and friendly greeting. Simone was very nice, professional and knowledgeable about her island. Her vehicle was also nice and clean. All the locations we went to were great and had a friendly staff… in addition to everything tasting great. My mom and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Feeling like you’re going back home - I want to get a exceptional big thank you, thank you, thank you to Simone for being an excellent tour guide. She showed us all the highlights, delicacies, and joy of being on the island. It’s like we were at home with family and we would have loved to stay much longer, but we had to get back to work. Looking forward to visiting again.

Excellent Tour! - BASO provided us transport to/from the airport and we also did the Taste the Real Nassau Flavours tour. Simone was always prompt and the vehicles were clean and comfortable. Simone gave us plenty of options and let us customize the tour to our tastes. We had four teenagers with us on the tour and they had a great time. We saw many sights that you won't see on other tours. Overall, an excellent experience. We will definitely be using BASO again.

Great guide and perfect service! - Simone picked us up on time and was soo friendly. She explained the history of the island while making it interesting. We visited a rum cake factory, the beach, a famous fort and ended the day at a traditional fish fry. There were 5 of us so it ended up as a private tour. Once again Viator was a great option!

Different but cool! - The trip was a little different than what I was use to. Instead of riding in a company van or car we rode in the tour guides personal car. However, he was knowledgeable and very kind! Learned a lot about Bahamian culture and history!

Not as advertised - I’m sad to say that we did NOT receive the trip we booked. We had a 20 y/o (who was amazing and fun) pick us up and drive us around the island. We stopped at one fort, the queens staircase (where a second fort was located as well), and the convention center to “view art” (suppose to be the art museum). When I asked about getting a drink (of even just water) he stopped at a gas station for us to purchase drinks.
Please don’t get me wrong, our guide was fun, entertaining, and informative but we did NOT get the tour we were expecting and it was not worth the $160 we paid!
