What people are saying about Nassau

This was fabulous. Not just because of the Rum which was great. We went to a variety of places. But Shad took the tour part seriously and with his fabulous storytelling ability, made the history come alive. He's really a talented speaker. The only thing I did not like was going to a cigar store. I don't like smoke and did not like wasting time on the tour for that. I went on a culture tour later in the trip and felt that Shad did a better job and knew more than the other guy.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and respectful. I appreciated that the tour afforded a more authentic and diverse experience of Nassau and Bahamian cuisine than I had experienced in the past. I enjoyed patronizing Bahamian Cookin' and the Hillside House, especially, and learned a lot about the history of the city as well.

Baja Bree was the best! We walked around Nassau stopping at different off the beat path spots and learned about the local culture. The food was delicious and diverse at each stop- always featured conch served in different ways. The final stop at the souvenir shop was my least favorite.

My family of 8 enjoyed Mark's tour! He is very knowledgeable and funny!

It was as described. Food was decent and plentiful
