Educational and fun you have an opportunity to visit Atlantis or the surrounding malls , buy rum cake, buy tea, buy coconuts, visit historical cites,listen to music and buy souvenirs, also you can make your last stop fish fry and stay and eat and grab a quick taxi ride back to ship ..ok we can't recall the Extraordinary Gentleman that toured us...perhaps Julian or Julius..(if company could correct us), he was sooo friendly, attentive, and generous ..

An informative and fun way to see some of the major landmarks in Nassau. Our guide was very knowledgeable and even adapted the route to suit the needs of all the passengers.

:-))))))))) Thank you my friend for touring with us. It was truly our pleasure. God Bless
Mr. Julian was our tour guide. My party was running late and didn't make it to the pick up point on time. As we were walking toward the spot, he was driving up and about to pass us. I flagged him down, gave him everyone's name in my party and he allowed us to join the tour. He did not have to do this and we appreciate it. He was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning about the Bahamas history. He even bought corn fritters for our group to try. It was delicious. Thank you, Mr. Julian!

Had the BEST time with an amazing tour guide! Our tour guide took us through Nassau, not just in the touristy areas, but truly to see the culture! Highly recommend.

Very good tour . I docked on other side of cruise port so had to walk to other end to find. Locals helped me locate . About a 5 min walk . My guide was nice and very knowledgeable. The food stop was delicious. Loved that we went into local areas as well and had times where we could get off and shop or walk around and tour guide would pick us up. Definitely would do again

We were 3 minutes late to the tour and our guide did not wait for us to hop on the bus before departing. We were called and forcibly told to meet the tour at the first stop. Once we joined the tour, our guide was not very personable. The only positive comment I have is that we were offered refreshments to stay hydrated in the heat.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Hi, first please let me say that the company’s policy is not to leave but to give our guests grace.
We ask everyone to be mindful that other guests are on the bus and we have time constraints so that people are back on time. VERY IMPORTANT
We had Shakira as our tour guide. She was FANTASTIC!!!! We loved her! Nassau is NOT that nice a city away from the cruise port and resorts, it just isn't....but she made the tour the best it could be given the material to work with. Loved the conch fritter sample and the tea place, tum cake factory was ok but crowded. Not what we thought it would be....very poor area, lots of trash, vacant lots, dumpy homes but that is not the tour's fault. Loved the open air bus we wete one, ice cold water provided. Shakira was fun and knowledgable, very accomodating just don't expect to see much on the tour.

Thank you for touring with CHIPPIES.
Our tours are to show and educate on our country. Not hiding anything .We are no different from any other place, unfortunately with the social ills and problems like other countries.
But in all things my friend we give God thanks and we pray for our countries.
We pray for our leaders that in all our wealth, they must understand their responsibility to the people of our country.
Thank you for coming. Your message was well received and will forward to The Ministry of Tourism. It is through your reports that maybe our persons in the high places will take action.
Thank you again. 😌👍🏼🙏🇧🇸
Fonzie was a ball of energy and very knowledgeable about the Bahamian culture. Travel throughout the city learning their culture. Great excursions!

Fontella was the most knowledgeable and passionate tour guide operator I have ever had. Truly enjoyed the tour A must when you visit Nassau.

The tour takes you around to most of Nassau's major historical sites. The tram transportation added a bit of fun. This quality of this tour is greatly increased by the personality and enthusiasm of the guide. Our guide was informative but lacked that personality that would have made the trip much better. If you want to get out and see Some of Nassau's history and beauty, this is the trip for you.

We missed our excursion due to my mistake with time difference. They called to check on us and refunded our money which we never ask for a refund or expected one. I would definitely book with them if we come back to Nassau.

Thank you. 😊👍🏼🙏🇧🇸
This tour was a great introduction to Nassau. Allison, our driver, was sweet and knowledgeable. Out the gate, we visited the store where they sell rum cakes. I love these cakes! I enjoyed learning about some of the history, current affairs, and locals. Some of the places I hoped to visit while here were completed on this tour like the Queen's Staircase, Straw Market, etc. It just freed up time to explore elsewhere.

The overall tour was fun and interactive. The driver was really nice and explained a lot. I think some of the itinerary should be revised because we got there 30 mins early like specified and had no idea where to go and then the little shuttle came closer to start time instead. We also thought there would be more food tastings and stop at the fish fry but we just drove straight past it. Also spent 40 mins at Atlantis casino and shops which seems like a waste of time. Since you have to walk over there and that took about 5-10 mins to get there instead of being dropped off.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your input, we greatly appreciate it. And thank you for choosing CHIPPIES :-)
It is a great way to explore Nassau in 2 hours. To see, and listen/learn about the city through an honest and pleasant guide.

Wonderful exchange between guests and Fonzie. She was energetic, knowledgeable, friendly and funny! She imparted pertinent information about the island's industry, businesses and people. I loved that she also shared information about how Atlantis and Baha Mars impacted the locals. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Fonzi was unbelievable- we so enjoyed ourselves! It was a wonderful 1st day experience in Nassau - we learned so much about the community and culture!!

If you're on the fence, BOOK THIS TOUR! Fontella (aka Fonzy) was funny, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family from the moment we stepped on the shuttle. I'm pretty sure she knows half the island—and the other half knows her! 😂 Her cousin Caleb was the sweetest young man and an awesome co-guide. The open-air shuttle was exactly as pictured and the perfect way to explore the island. We had an amazing time and would 100% book this tour again!

Great laid back ride around the island as you learn facts about the country and it's history. It was cool to try some of the island's native foods, the conch fritters were amazing! The driver and tour guide were very nice and pleasant! It was overall worth the money!

Julian did a great job, lots of stories and history about the Bahamas and plenty of information about the older parts of Nassau. We made several stops. I love that we rode around the Paradise Island area, which I had always wanted to see. We opted to stay on the trolley and do the driving around rather than stopping to shop or gamble. We stopped at a rum cake shop, a beach area, the steps to the fort, a tea stop (where we ended up getting ice cream). I travel with a portable oxygen concentrator and a walker and had no troubles whatsoever. It should be noted that the pick up spot is not directly across the street from the port. It’s a few blocks away by the straw market, which was challenging. And of course, our ship was docked the farthest away. The sidewalks are a bit uneven, so it was slow going. On the way back, Julian was able to get permission to drop us in front of the port area which was truly helpful. I had my granddaughters who are 12 and 13 with me and they both enjoyed the day as well.

Had a wonderful experience. Learned a lot of history and received it in a way that you wanted to learn even more. Our tour guide was super nice and I highly recommend this particular tour.
