4.00Once we connected with Colby, our tour guide from Island Tours it was great but he was late to our meeting place. I only wish he would have called us to let us know of his late arrival. Also we did not know it was a 3rd party company on this tour & no phone number to call when the guide was late from the booking. It would have been nice to have a contact number because I was getting worried that they ghosted us for this tour. Maybe have a more specific meeting spot as we were outside a museum in Nassau with lots of people. Like I said, once our tour guide got with us, the tour was great.
Highly recommend

5.00A group of 4 of us did this rum tasting, and we all had a great time. Mikey was very friendly, funny, and outgoing as he led us through the hour tasting/mixology. He started off with some history about rum running and Nassau, a lot of which I did not know and enjoyed hearing about. The speakeasy itself had a nice atmosphere and definitely added to the experience. We all made a Bahama Mama, and even though we were running out of time, we didn't feel rushed to finish our drinks. We would've gone back to the speakeasy on a night that it was open (Mikey invited us back and gave us the code to get in), but we sadly ran out of time. Apparently, they set out some board games for people to play.
FABULOUS!

5.00Jason was amazing! Highly recommend this tour when in Nassau. Perfect mix of history of the island and the part rum played in that history. Some of the best rum I’ve tasted and the speakeasy was such a cool way to end the tour.
