This tour was awesome! Our tour guide Pierre was funny and kept the tour interesting. But of course the highlight of the trip was the food and drinks. I enjoyed everything, even the walking lol. Highly recommend! 👌🏾
This tour was really great. The food was tasty. Our tour guide, Pierre, was amazing. He was funny and very informative. I loved all of the history that we learned. The Bahamian Switcha drink was refreshing. The fish taco and the plantain bowl with pikliz were my favorite dishes. I would recommend that you wear comfortable shoes because the sidewalks can be uneven in some places and you do a good amount of walking. Also, I brought my 40oz cup and that was very useful. There was a place to purchase water bottles, as well, but filling your cup before hand would be smart. Overall, everything was great! I highly recommend this tour!
Nicolette was wonderful! She is so full of historical knowledge, interesting fun facts and pride for her country! The food was delicious and the drinks hit the spot. 10/10 recommend. Nicolette made this experience memorable for use!

Hey Gene, Thank you very much for the wonderful review. We appreciated the fact that you took the time out of your day to give us this wonderful review, Captain Ron
Highly recommend. At 5 stops to eat, you will be full. Food was great and I love seafood. Got to see sites on the backroads that are filled with history. Mark, our guide was great. This tour is better than the one offered by carnvial cruise. Keep in mind though your reservation time is Bahama time, not ship time. Our fourteen year old even enjoyed this!
Hello Debbie, I will make sure Mark gets a copy of this wonderful review. Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to give us this great review.
Good tour. Good food included. Good history of the island. Guide could leave her politics about Christopher Columbus out of her remarks. Once about why she doesn't like Columbus is fine, but over and over.... we get it, and left a bad impression on an otherwise nice lady and tour.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, learned about the history of the island, and had an overall positive experience on the tour.
