Tyrone gave an interesting tour of the island. - He made sure we were comfortable in his Air Conditions van as he broadcasted over his radio details of history of the island from when it was occupied by England to the present day. He took us to different shops and points of interest to go in and see first hand and to taste samples including the chocolate factory. Everyone in town knows Tyrone and everyone greeted us with a smile. His final stop was to let us wade in the ocean then he took us back to the the cruise liner. Thanks for a great tour Tyrone!

An Unforgettable Tour with Tyrone: Expert Insights, Local Delicacies, and Island Spirits - Tyrone provided an exceptional experience, showcasing extensive knowledge of the island and sharing numerous facts about its culture and history. He thoughtfully offered water and generous servings of local rum. Additionally, we sampled rum cake, moonshine, wine, chocolate, and fresh conch. Tyrone even explained the significance of different license plate colors, adding an extra layer of insight to our tour.

I celebrated my birthday... - I celebrated my birthday the day of the tour and it was the greatest birthday because of the time I had on the tour. Seeing and hearing about the rich history of Paradise Island and Bahamas made me learn so much that I didn’t know before. The free samples included in the rum factory, the chocolate factory, and the distillery made the experience so very special. This a true family fun business and the family made me feel like family. I 1000% recommend this tour. You will leave feeling immersed in Bahamian culture and belly full.
