A Great Tour, a Super Guide & an Amazing Time
Rick W,Apr 15, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00We had just a super GREAT time on this tour. Miss Sandi, our Guide, is such a wealth of knowledge about all things Bahama. She’s what we’d call “Sandi-pedia”. Her depth of knowledge in Bahamian cultural, historical and cuisine is outstanding. Sandi led us through conch markets, tea stops, forts and historic sites all the while making it so FUN and stimulating. We’ve taken tours like these on numerous islands but this was by far the very best and Sandi was truly remarkable. If you are interested in seeing Bahamian food, drink, history and culture - then this is your tour. Vehicle was immaculate, tour started on time and was well paced. One last note: After the tour ended and we were dropped off at our hotel I accidentally left my cell phone on the floor of the tour vehicle. Panic time, right? Sandi to the rescue. She discovered my phone when she got home and was cleaning the vehicle. She turned around and drove all the way back to our hotel to return it. Unbelievable!!
Sandy and Mario are family

5.00Sandy and Mario were outstanding. Fortunately, I was the third guest of three. It was like a private tour, since our group was so small. We could ask as many questions as we wanted. Me, as a history nerd, enjoyed that part. Sandy made us feel like we were family. She knew her history and was engaged the entire tour. She didn't allow for any dull moments. Mario's personality is great and it works well, as it is different from Sandy. His driving was purposeful and didn't allow the traffic to put him in a bad mood. We parked close to every entrance and never had to walk far. Absolutely a five star experience.

5.00This was a fabulous alternative to normal cruise ship offerings. Much more personal, lots of great opportunities to taste drinks and food. Our guide, Candy, was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The bus driver, Jason, added a lot of fun too! Loved learning about the island too.

5.00My family of 5 really enjoyed this tour. We love history and food and this was a great way to get away from the cruise ship crowd for a more immersive experience. We happened to be the only group on the tour but it didn’t stop the guides from giving their best at providing us with a great experience. Plenty of food and drink mixed in with history and culture of Nassau. We loved that we were taken to the local places where the guides knew the fish mongers and museum guides, store and restaurant owners. Nothing was pushy about wanting you to shop at the places they took us, although there was opportunity at several places to do a little pressure free shopping. We would highly recommend to anyone, especially those with a short amount of time while on a cruise day stop.

5.00Sandi and Jason were great hosts for a 3.5+ hour tour of Nassau. Lots of history and tasting sprinkled in with humor and sightseeing. Relaxed pace but felt like we got a lot done. The tea shop wasn’t really needed.
Best way to see the city and experience some treats!

5.00We decided to do this on the first day of our holiday to get a feel for the city and the people and we’re really glad we did! Tour was brilliant and the food was great! No regrets at all!!! We even got to witness a special 4 eyed conch!!! Great for all the family as we were three generations of women, the youngest being 18!
Outstanding Nausau tour

5.00This was a lively experience. Put a little something on your stomach before going so the sun and rum don’t put you out.
