Live and learn

When booking this experience for a cruise excursion it is very important to know that it is based on EST not ship time. We came from Galveston, Texas which is an hour behind and when booking the time for the excursion I did not take into account that this is based on land time. Regardless, they were very accommodating and letting us take the next time but had to get another driver with a bigger van to accommodate us all. Johnny Be Good was a great tour guide and he even was willing to take my husband and I over to the Atlantis after the tour so we could gamble.

Not as advertised

This is very misleading. You are essentially paying for a knowledgeable tourism driver. We liked our driver but we were in our own and had to pay to enter the sites like the forts. There was no chocolate toys unless you pay for it, was just dropped off and left to our own devices. We didn't stop at arawak cay or the fish market. The description was not what we experienced.

Operator response

We thank you for your feedback and appreciate your time you took to leave your review, how ever your driver was new to the company and was not fully aware of ever thing concerning the payment of the forth .we do apologize. We did speak with the diver and was told that he made a extra stop on the tour which was not onto our tour and told you that you wise to enjoy that site it was fee of $5.00 that was not supposed to happen. Again we do apologize.

Mr. Miller was the best!

Mr. Miller was such a great guide. Not only was he very informative about the island's history, he was willing to adjust any plans he had for us. i wanted to get back to the ship a bit earlier just to be safe, and he was super accommodating. We went to a variety of historical places, and beautiful beaches. i would definitely go back for another tour with Mr. Miller. He was the best!!

Princess Diane's tour guide

Should Princess Dianne 👸 ever return to Bahamas for a 3rd time, Mr. Miller should be the guide for he combines a sense of humor and wit with history and little known trivia 5 STAR

Misleading Advertisement

Email confirmation list one meet up location and the app list a different one. After getting off our cruise ship, we had no WiFi so we walked up and down the cruise terminal looking for the tour. We asked a total of 5 different people who worked in the area and no one heard of the company and we were unable to look at the app. We waited by the fountain until 1130 (time of the tour) and no one was there. There was also nobody else waiting. After looking around and asking several people for 40 minutes we went back to the ship. They are refusing to give me a refund even though they purposefully listed two different meet up points. 1 being the cruise terminal (no other details) and 2 being at the fountain. Viator is also refusing any refund. Stay away from this scam of a business. Take your money somewhere else.

Operator response

We understand how you're feeling about this situation, but at some point you have no one to blame for your no show, we waited 40 minutes over the agreed time, with other guest who was now becoming irate, we could no longer hold up the tour, we tried calling and texting but to no avail .but we do thank you for your feedback and we are sorry you never made the tour.

We had the best time!!...

We had the best time!! Our guide was very communicative and everything was easy. Loved that they pick up from your hotel nd bring you back. We got to see all of the historical sites and got to walk around some of them as well. Definitely a great time! Traveled with an 11 year old and 15 year old and both had a great experience as well! Book this company!
