This foodie tour offers you the chance to sample the secret recipes from grandma’s kitchen as well as the refined culinary creations of Nassau’s best chefs. With over a hundred restaurants, food stalls, and food trucks around the island, narrowing down where to dine can be daunting.

Head west past the Nassau Public Library and Museum, and Government House, driving towards Fort Charlotte. The tour makes its first tasting stop at the world famous Shoal Restaurant. Next, drive past the Office of the Prime Minister and then the Prime Minister’s residence en route to your second tasting stop, The Daq Shack, a favorite among the locals. The foodie adventure continues to the world-famous fish fry where you will sample mouthwatering conch at Drifters Restaurant. From there a short distance to a family run tea maker, Tasty Teas. Journey on to a 5-star property that boasts the only chocolate factory on the island, Graycliff Chocolatier. Enjoy the scenery and riveting commentary as you make your way back to downtown Nassau.

My boyfriend and I had a very nice time on this tour. Our tour guide was great, he was very informative and knowledgeable about the island. The two food stops he took us to were delicious and authentic Bahamian food which is what we love! The other three stops were a chocolate factory, a tea shop and a daiquiri stop. My boyfriend and I were a little disappointed in those stops, we had the impression this tour was more of a food tasting tour. Besides that we had a very nice time.

This has to be one of the best tours we've ever taken, seriously! Arthur was amazing. The food was very well chosen and incredibly delicious and something we would not have ordered, but were very happy with their choices. And learning about some of the island history was a bonus. We couldn't of been happier!

Wir wurden am gebuchten Tag nicht abgeholt. Nach zwei Anrufen und 45 min Wartezeit hat man uns mitgeteilt, dass es Probleme mit dem Bus gegeben habe und wir deshalb die Tour zwei Tage später als private Tour mit Abholung direkt an unserem Übernachtungsort bekommen könnten. Dieses Angebot haben wir angenommen. Der Tour Guide war überaus freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat uns nicht nur alles über das Essen, sondern auch über die Speisen ausführlich und amüsant erzählt. Wir hätten uns gewünscht, die Schokolade als Dessert probieren zu dürfen und nicht direkt vor dem Lunch, das passte meiner Meinung nach nicht so. Die TastyTea Factory war eher eine Verkaufsshow, wir konnten 1 Mini-Becher Tee probieren...insgesamt waren aber vor allem die Fischspeisen außergewöhnlich gut.
