Great little tour of Nassau - Went on this trip today. It was a great way to explore Nassau and see beyond our resort. Our guide Julian was informative and gave some great details regarding the various places visited. We had time to look around at the Queens staircase, Montagu beach and fort, Rum cake factory and Tasty Teas. Despite the weather being v windy - a very enjoyable couple of hours.

A good quick tour. - This was a fun tour with our guide giving us some interesting information about the Bahamas. A good alternative to the cruise ship sponsored tours. I liked the open air bus.

Compact tour of the Nassau highlights - Pro: Tour guide was knowledgeable and we had a good ride around Nassau. Con: Directions not clear when arriving by cruise ship. Walk out of cruise area onto the street. Go across to straw market and wait for CHIPPIES bus. It will leave earlier than the scheduled 10am departure.

A nice overview of Nassau - Our tour guide was excellent and enthusiastic about sharing her home country. Unfortunately, we spent a long time at the Atlantis resort for people to look around and we were already staying at the Atlantis. This part of the tour became dead time for us. The second part of the tour was much more interesting where she showed us the over the hill area where she lives.

Good Overview of Nassau - Our tour guide did a great job of explaining the local sites and I really liked the buses/trolleys that Chippies uses to navigate the island. I only wish that we would have stopped at the Fish Fry area rather than the rum cake factory. If you are on a cruise, the Straw Market meeting place is all the way to the end of the cruise terminal if you follow the shops to the right. Then, you cross one street and you are at the Straw Market.

Just ok - It was an ok tour of the city, but the bus was very uncomfortable with hard plastic seats. Also, we took this tour to see the sites, not to hear the political opinions of the driver. Maybe next time keep the UK and America bashing to a minimum.
