If you love to learn about local life, culture, and enjoy walking around to explore a new city, this tour is for you! We really enjoyed this tour and our tour guide was fantastic! She took time to explain everything to us. Gave us plenty of time to ask questions and made several local recommendations for us! Highly Recommend!
Eliyah was amazing, informative, fun and KIND! My family of 5 with 3 young kids (14, 10, 8 yo) did the tour and we got lucky that there weren’t any cruises on port that day, so it ended up just being us, so it was a really good pace. She gave us options so it can be customizable depending on what you feel is important. Book this tour! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Eliyah was passionate about sharing history and cultural facts about the sites we visited. We were very pleased with the tour.
Elia was truly an amazing tour guide. She was kind, knowledgable, had a good pace and teaches us so much about Nassau. We will defenetely recommend this tour and will do it again if we have the chance to come back. My husband and I were impressed with the service
So happy to hear that you enjoyed your KINDWalk experience. I hope Juan's knee is doing ok. You are welcome back anytime. Take care! 🫶🏽
The tour was a perfect way to get a good overview of Nassau and understand the history and city better. We traveled with a party of 2 families with kids age 11 to 17. Was nice to get a taste of the city life, culture, history, food and shops. Eliyah was great and very knowledgeable and entertaining!
Weather was warm and humid, bring good tennis shoes as sometimes there's no sidewalks. Tour guide was informative and very nice.
Great tour and guide. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommended!
We arrived by ship and made our way to start our tour. No one was there and we waited 20 minutes. Now our phones were on airplane mode the entire cruise and we didn't purchase internet on the ship. We later learned the tour guide canceled the tour the day before, so I recommend you have a backup plan in place if she cancels on you.
We have been many times to Nassau and decided this time we wanted to get some history and culture of the island. Eliyah is truly a KIND person and has put together an awesome WALK!
This walking tour was a really great experience! The guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny. She taught us a ton about Bahamian history and way of life. We received so many samples from varias places downtown and the guide gave us some really great recommendations as well. I would definitely recommend
