Arthur was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Rum tasting tour exceeded my expectations!!! I highly recommend!
Arthur the tour guide was amazing. Great stops!
Everything about this experience was wonderful. It he guides and hosts were very attentive and knowledgeable. The FOOD and DRINKS were the stars of the show. I recommend this tour for everyone on the island.
Excellent excursion from start to finish. Nevada, the tour guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. Tasted guava duff, lemongrass tea, and hibiscus tea. Enjoyed a delicious lunch of conch fritters, spring roll, fried snapper, rice and peas, plantains and a full sized pina colada at the rum distillery (extra fresh). Learned much about the history of the Bahamas during the drive. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We love that you painted such a vivid picture of your experience—from the guava duff and fresh piña colada to learning about the history of The Bahamas. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Nevada. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
Arthur was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the islands and their history. The food was delicious at the multiple stops but the highlight was the stop for authentic Bahamian cuisine. Cannot recommend Arthur’s and this tour enough
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time with Arthur and experienced the rich history, culture, and flavors of The Bahamas. It's especially rewarding to know that the authentic Bahamian cuisine was a highlight of your tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience on your next visit!
Great communication with travelers. Great to see spots we would not have otherwise visited. Loved the new duff guava treat, the puns colada at the distilllery was the best we had the whole trip, and the lunch was absolutely delicious.
Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the tour!
Overall, we had a good experience on this Nassau food tour. The main hiccup was meeting up since we were coming from a cruise ship. Phones are usually on airplane mode, so you do need to turn on cellular service once off the ship (data charges may apply). It took about 20 minutes to connect, but once my phone was on, the guide was easy to reach and very responsive. This was a small group tour with guests from different cruise lines, which was totally fine. We started at a tea spot and sampled several teas — they were excellent. The only suggestion would be slightly larger samples, as many of us ended up buying tea anyway (the lemongrass tea was amazing). We also tried traditional Bahamian duff and received a generous sample, which was delicious. At the distillery, however, there were no drink samples, which was a bit disappointing and made it less engaging. We did appreciate that food from a nearby truck was included. We ended at a local restaurant with small but satisfying portions of Bahamian food. Rum cake was available for purchase, but no samples were offered, which likely reduced interest. Overall, a solid tour that could easily be 5 stars with better sampling, smoother meeting logistics, and maybe an insider shopping stop.
Our tour guides were Vance and Peaches. They did a great job making sure all of the guests were taken care of during the drive and at all of the stops. Vance was very informative about each stop and sites along the way. He was interactive with the guests the entire time. Overall, a great experience. No need to eat before! Plenty of small bites along the way, ending with lunch at the end.
Dear Joseph. Thank you so much for taking the time to experience Nassau with us!! We love sharing our island with new guests and I will be sure to give your regards to our amazing staff Vance and Peaches!!
I would love to be able to review this tour, but unfortunately, they never picked me and my dad up at our designated pick up location and their phone number was out of service.
Tamar was knowledgeable, fun and amazing. He was so accommodating and our raucous group had a fantastic time! He even took my husband to a fire station to trade patches!
