Great tour guide and drinking buddy Fox, knew a lot of history and kept it fun and interesting for everyone. Surprises and fun and DRINKS around every corner. Only thing was I thought we were going to do the queen's staircase and we never did get to it. Had so much fun tho I didn't realize until later. Would definitely recommend to anyone

Guide (Jason) was great - funny and knowledgeable. Got way more out of it than just walking and drinking rum. But there was plenty of rum. The guys at the speak easy were great too.

Informative, entertaining and interactive. Not extensive walking but wear comfortable shoes. Our guide Shad was awesome. He kept laughing from beginning to end.

Was great experience. There was a little over lap on places we went on from another tour I went on yesterday. But the end was awesome at the speakeasy. That was a lot of fun. The guide was awesome and full of energy.

My husband and I had a great time on this tour! Shad was an amazing tour guide and it was just us with him. He knows all the things about Nassau, the run running history, and lots of other interesting facts about all kinds of topics. All of the vendors at the locations we visited were super nice and the drinks were great! If you take this tour be sure to ask for Shad and have Mikey fix your drinks at the speakeasy! Definitely one of our favorite excursions/tours we have ever taken!

We ended up being the only two on this tour. Jason was amazing and we learned so much. We sampled lots of rum. I think we needed a little more food along the tour to counteract the alcohol. The “hidden location” at the end of the tour was quite a surprise and a perfect ending. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide was Jason and he was amazing! Very funny, knowledgeable and full of entertainment. It was raining, liquid sunshine he would say, but it didn’t stop the fun and in fact it didn’t bother us one bit! Please do this tour if you’re a rum lover and enjoy a bit of island history. Hope you’re able to meet Micheal at the speak-easy at the end of the tour ~ he was wonderful too!!! In tree…..two……one………😉🤣 ENJOY!!!

Experience overall was cute. History was nice but not what was expected booking this excursion. There was a lot of walking and talking. The rum was good and the food was ok.
