THE BEST IN NASSAU!
Hands down, the BEST tour I've ever done! Starting with the ease of booking! Mr. Tyrone personally took my call, gave me peace of mind that his company would make my family's Bahamian vacation one to remember, in a great way, lol! And boy did they deliver! EXCEPTIONAL communication, promptness, and the ability to make us feel at home on the island. SHOUT out to our tour guide Nikki, who is absolutely adorable and funny and our driver Jerry, so cool! These two hosted my family of 18 like the pro's that they are! I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST IN NASSAU!

We truly enjoyed our excursion! We had an adult, a kid and a senior and everyone enjoyed themselves! So many favorite parts I can't name just 1! The rum cakes were delicious, the chocolate factory had amazing chocolate and shakes, and the distillery also had a delicious pina colada! Truly enjoyed learning the history of the Bahamas! Karon was super knowledgeable and entertaining- he was great! Definitely recommended!

The BEST Excursion to Take in Nassau!
Tyrone may just be one of the best excursion tour guides our group has ever had. A clear Nassau local, he whisked our small group away to all the best places on the island, including tourist hotspots, a rum distillery, time at Atlantis, and places off the beaten path, like visiting a rum cake factory and trying fresh conch from a local food spot ("Unda-Da-Bridge"). His charm, knowledge of the island, and generosity did NOT go unnoticed (he constantly made sure the group was well taken care of, whether that was buying us wine cooler drinks, accommodating food allergies, or offering us a "taste" of some authentic Nassau rum).
If you want a local's tour of the island of Nassau, THIS is the one to take. Thank you, Tyrone!!

Highly recommend this tour
Nicki was the best tour guide you could have. We were able to get a few rum cakes, were able to tour the chocolate factory and taste the chocolate. We went to the distillery where we had conch fritters and a nice drink. The Queen's stair case was amazing. The pirates museum was fun. We really enjoyed this tour. Thank you Nicki
