Great tour through a beautiful city - Charles was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. The ear pieces that allowed us to hear him while we walked greatly enhanced the experience, as we did not need to struggle to hear him.

Great Walking Tour with Knowledgable Guide - Really enjoyed this tour with Charles. He was extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he really enjoyed what he was doing. We really enjoyed all the stops, but our favorites were the National Art Gallery and seeing where the opening of Casino Royale was filmed. For those concerned about the walking it was pretty broke up by stops throughout but there is a decent amount of uphill if that’s not your thing. Would definitely recommend anyone check out this tour.

Great experience! - Charles was fantastic! Total of about 3 miles over 3 hours. And we stopped 5 times - once for chocolate, once for rum, and one for wine! His stroll speed was easy! And we learned so much about Nassau!

Walking in historical, Bahamian footsteps - Dilly Dally Tours is a must!!! This is the best way to see and learn about Bahamas and the capital Nassau. Very good pace and excellent guide. Charles was very knowledgeable and paved the tour perfectly. Each part of the tour was filled with interesting facts and stories which made the walk even more memorable. From the colour significance of the buildings to the history of mansions and homes, Charles made you part of the story. Rum and chocolate tours were a great aside and art museum a must for a visitor. Definitely the best tour I’ve taken so far with Viator.

Delightful walk with Dilly Dally - Just back from a 3 hour walking tour, guided by Charles. We were a small group and felt as if we were being shown the capital by a personal friend. Charles was extremely knowledgeable and we learned a great deal about the history of Nassau and the Bahamas more generally. Arrangements were made smoothly prior to our trip, the pace of the tour was good for us all and we enjoyed seeing all the sights, learning about the various buildings and spending time the Art Gallery, winery, distillery and chocolate shop. Would definitely recommend this walking tour , we certainly wouldn’t have had such a great experience if we had just walked around on our own .

Knowledgeable but limited access - Charles is friendly and knowledgeable. Several places, including Queens Staircase, Water Tower, were not accessible due to renovations. We did not enter Fort Fincastle. We saw Governor's Mansion from across the street.
