Great experience with our Tour Guide! She was amazing and super popular in the area. She had much energy and put everyone at ease. She didn't hassle for a tip Although she deserved it. Perfect for large Families like mine. Safe. Affordable. Great experience.

Must book with her

Jeffrey_R, Jul 2026
Fontella was the most knowledgeable and passionate tour guide operator I have ever had. Truly enjoyed the tour A must when you visit Nassau.

Chippie's Nassau Tour

Michael_L, Jul 2026
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.

Great Time!

We missed our excursion...

Kaylynn_B, Jul 2026
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.

Just do it

babyro2, Jul 2026
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...

TAYLOR_E, Jul 2026
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 :-)

Ask for the Fonz, aka Fonzie!

Marilyn_R, Jul 2026
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!

10/10—no notes!

Erica_T, Jun 2026
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!

S_D, Jun 2026
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!

Great overview

Judi_K, Jun 2026
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.

Viator desvription is wrong.

Sylvain_J, Jun 2026
Description is wrong on the Viator webside, we spend 45 minutes at Atlantis, it is not a bypass. I contacted Viator during the tour and they don't care. Our driver was very good.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Hi My Canadian friend. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The description was wrong. As Atlantis is a big attraction and most persons want to see it we usually give a lot of time there with allowance with a few mins to walk. We hope that enjoyed the rest of you enjoyed the rest of your tour. Thank you for the comment on the driver and remember we could fuss about much bigger things. Like why the world is at war when God is love. 30 mins at Atlantis cant be that bad. God bless.

Great Tour, Best Tour Guide

Sean_M, May 2026
Fontanella (Fonzie) was the BEST tour guide. She is very personable and really had us experiencing the culture of Nassau with historical facts and interactive stops. She was fun and funny and everyone in town seems to love her! Highly recommend this tour.

To God be the glory my friend :-). Truly it is through his love that we are able to share it with others. a hug is a small gesture for thanking you for choosing the Bahamas and enlarge CHIPPIES. Certainly our pleasure :-).

Great budget alternative to the bus tours

We had a great time, absolutely more than worth the price. We went to all the same places the bus tours go for a fraction of the price.
