Itinéraire
Fort Fincastle est un fort situé dans la ville de Nassau sur l'île de New Providence aux Bahamas. Le fort a été construit en 1793 par Lord Dunmore. Construit vers 1793 sur Society Hill, le fort surplombe la ville de Nassau et l'escalier de la Reine, et est souvent accessible par ce biais aux visiteurs à pied.
L'escalier de la Reine est un passage de 66 marches situé à Nassau, la capitale des Bahamas. Il a été creusé dans la roche calcaire solide par 600 esclaves entre 1793 et 1794 pour créer une voie d'évacuation depuis le fort situé au-dessus. Il s'agit d'un monument majeur de Nassau. Il est situé au même arrêt que Fort Fincastle, demandez à votre guide si vous avez besoin d'aide.
Government House est la résidence officielle du gouverneur général des Bahamas, située à Nassau. Il a été construit à l'époque coloniale et était la résidence du gouverneur des Bahamas
Cette arche de pierre a été nommée d'après le gouverneur John Gregory, qui a servi vers 1850, et elle a été ouverte au public le 19 janvier 1852. Lorsque vous traversez l'arche en direction du sud sur Market Street, vous traversez la ligne qui sépare le centre-ville de Nassau du reste de l'île. Le petit tunnel forme une entrée pittoresque de la communauté connue sous le nom d'Over The Hill et des anciennes colonies de Grants Town et Bain Town.
L'histoire de Bahamas Rum Cake Factory commence au cœur du centre-ville de Nassau, aux Bahamas, en l'an 2000. George Bates, originaire du Royaume-Uni, a fondé une recette qui allait inspirer son gâteau au rhum "original". Tout le monde a tellement aimé sa recette qu'il a décidé d'ouvrir une petite boutique de Rum Cake, un magasin qui est depuis devenu la marque la plus préférée de Rum Cake aux Bahamas.
Le point culminant de Paradise Island est l'Atlantide de renommée mondiale. Atlantis est un magnifique complexe comprenant plus de 3 000 chambres d'hôtel, 20 restaurants, une grande variété de magasins, un parc aquatique de 123 acres, de belles plages et le plus grand casino des Bahamas. Le coût total de la construction d'Atlantis s'élevait à plus de 2 milliards de dollars.
Ensuite, vous vous rendrez à Paradise Island, une île reliée à New Providence par deux ponts qui traversent le port de Nassau. Le phare de Hog Island, construit en 1817, se trouve à la pointe ouest de l'île et peut être vu depuis le port de croisière.

This could have been good. Time was completely wasted by including Atlantis. You just park about two blocks away and are told you have 20 minutes. It takes 6 or 8 minutes each way to walk it. They send you into their shops. First thing I see is the Rolex store. No thanks. Tour guide admitted that it was mostly an advertisement for Atlantis. They had no intention of actually letting you see anything. The guy at the door even kinda acted snooty. 14 minutes at the Queen's Staircase. 20 minutes to shop at Fort Fincastle, but no time to tour it. Tour guide was really good, he just didn't have any time. Just cut Atlantis out and give an actual unrushed tour.
Thank you for your review, we do appreciate the feedback and will discuss the times given at each stop with our drivers/guides. The Atlantis really is a photo opportunity stop. We do give guests the option to stay and enjoy the casino, restaurants, bars and shops if they wish. I realize it isn't for everyone though. Thank you again and i'll give the guide your appreciation.
Very convinient! Very personalized! We learned about the culture and history of Bahamas on every detail and saw it first hand. Rich’ard, is awesome and really took good care of us and made sure we experience Bahamas even in a short period of time.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will let Rich'ard know... he really is the best. Hope to see you in the future.
This was by far the worst tour I have ever taken in my entire life. The tour was 2.5 hours long, but the majority of it, almost 2 hours was spent on a bus zipping thru Nassau while a guide "Frankie Bahamas" tried to make jokes or talked about his three baby mamas. The driver never met a stop sign he didn't run. After 30 to 40 minutes we were dropped off at Atlantis for 40 minutes and told how poor we were not to be staying there. It was basically a big, over crowded shopping mall. Total waste of time. Then we went to two other shopping stops where we got 9 minutes at each. I'm not kidding. They couldn't get rid of us fast enough. No tip for you! Find something else or you will regret it.
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry to hear this and will speak to the driver/guide about this immediately. Each tour is 2.5 hours, depending on traffic and other guests embarking and debarking the bus, this can limit the time at certain stops. Safety and Guests satisfaction is our #1 goal. Please accept our sincere apologies if this didn't meet that goal.
Everything went as planned and Jo was the best tour guide we had. He knew his history very well and we throughly enjoyed the tour!!!
This was a very positive tour. It was family-friendly, and well organized. My two children and I do quite a bit of traveling and we enjoyed this guided tour of the Bahamas. I definitely recommend booking your tour in advance. There are similar companies claiming that they offer the same thing. This guided tour picks you up on the port and navigates you to a private tour bus where you are then toured around the Bahamas.
The tickets, even though only $5. For the fort were not worth it! The Atlantis stop was a good distance to walk to get to hotel, by the time you got there you had no time to check out anything. You were not even allowed into entrance/lobby without a room key…all you got to see were a few stores. It was disappointing! The straw market was across street from cruise port….there was no stop there for people taking the tour, you could walk on your own. Most people in the van, never got to see queens staircase…because of the walk and short time period that was allowed…only three young people got to see it because they could walk faster. They shared their pictures with the people in van, or else they would have never gotten to see the staircase.
Thank you for your review. Our guides are very patient, we explain to guests to let us know if you need more time. The walk to the Queens Staircase was a bit longer at that time you visited, as you would have noticed it was under a renovation and they were not allowing us to park in our normal spot. It was a situation we were unaware of and out of our control. The Atlantis, as advertised is a photo op stop. You are allowed in the Lobby of the Hotel, you are just not allowed PAST the Lobby of the hotel - which would take you into the water park without a room key. The $5 fee for the fort is a government imposed tax, it has nothing to do with us and as advertised, is at your own discretion. I hope this helps.
Do not book this tour. It was very underwhelming. It was nothing as advertised..waiting on the wowww
The advertising for this tour is misleading. It is more a tour of Nassau. You don’t actually visit Atlantis, just the casino entrance to Atlantis. You do not actually see or go to the resort.
Best way to get a feel of Nassau. You see an ancient fort, you visit the rum cake factory, you go to the Atlantis hotel. Last stop is the straw market. Greg was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
thank you for your review, I will let Greg know and we are thrilled you enjoyed it.
Several stops ranging from 10 minutes to 45 minutes that gave us a good overview of the history of New Providence Island. It was a good value.
