Site seeing Nassau with Tyrone - Tyrone was an excellent guide. He showed us his beautiful island. We had a awesome time. He accommodated my 83 year old mom. We got to see everything we wanted to. Ate fresh conch, rum cake, chocolates and wine, gambled at Atlantis and of course shopping.

A great tour - We had a fantastic time with our guide, Karon, and got to hear about the Bahamas from a local's point of view. We got to try chocolate, conch fritters, rum cake, and a nice pina colada along the way.

20/10 recommend!! - We had the best time on this amazing tour of Nassau. Picked this experience because of the variety and the walk ability of it. Ended up to more than exceed our expectations. Nikki became part of the family - got us laughing and having fun within minutes and kept it going for almost 3 hrs. Got to do a little bit of everything from rum cake to casino to chocolate and alcohol. Loved it was just our group of 4 which made it even more specisl. 20/10 recommend. Thank you for the great day.

We Enjoyed our Tour and Karon! - I opted not to do a ship excursion but to research and book my own. Bingo! Great choice! We had a wonderful experience with Karon as our tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable on the history of his country. He was authentic and showed us the good bad and the not too good sides. We always felt safe and as if we were with family. It was no issue for Karon to drop us off at Junkanoo Beach where we had massages scheduled. Don't hesitate to support this wonderful family and their business. You will not regret it!
