5.00Nicki 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

5.00Karon (Tyron's son) was our guide and we had a blast. He gave us great historical stories as well as how it is today. We got to visit the main highlights of the rum cake factory (yum), Graycliff chocolates and cigars (so cool) as well as john waiting distillery, the Queens steps and pirate museum. Karon was an amazing host providing shots, conch fritters and chocolates as well as all of his local knowledge. We truly enjoyed our day with him as we filled our bellies with great food and drink but also filled our curiosity with lots of local stories and history. Can't say enough good things. If you only have the chance to take one tour, this is it!
Best Tour Experience!!

5.00Tyrone did an amazing job! Made the tour fun and added anything to it we wanted. Extra time was even added to stop at souvenir shop. At the end he even drove us in front of our condo to drop us off. Book with Tyrone!
Hands down best city tour!

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip! Nikki was awesome! I had my 89 year old mother with us and Nikki was so kind and patient. Nikki had a wealth of knowledge and made us feel like family. Definitely take this tour, it is well worth it! Thank you Nikki for making our trip so memorable! You are the best!

5.00Although finding the location of our tour guide was a little confusing, once we matched up with Nikki we were very happy. She was friendly, informative and willing to show us around Nassau. There were only 5 of us tourists in our group, which was exactly what we prefer, as it is so much more personal! Thank you Nikki!!
Greatest Tour Guide service on the island

5.00Not signing up for an excursion from our cruise was the best thing. We met Tyrone right outside the cruise terminal and was one of the best times we had on our cruise. Tyrones knowledge of the island and history of the Bahama's made our tour great.
