We had a great walking experience. Charles and Sonya did a nice job showing us all the highlights of Nassau, including the Queens Staircase, Prime Minister's home, winery, chocolate factory, and John Watling's Distillery, as well as being knowledgeable on the history of the area. The trip moved at an easy pace, as there were only 3 of us on this particular tour. Would recommend.

The tour was the highlight of our cruise week. Our guide Charles and his wife were wonderful hosts and guides of Nassau. Charles was so knowledgeable, pointing out historical and interesting places along the tour with stories and history. We had enough time to browse at our stops without feeling rushed. I highly recommend Dilly Dally tours!

We enjoyed our walking tour, it was great getting to see some of the Bahamas outside of the resort. Our guide Stephen was very friendly and knowledgeable.

We had a great walking tour with Charles and his wife. He made sure we were safe crossing streets and pointed out numerous places and told stories along the way. The samples we tried along the route was a nice treat also. A great way to spend a few hours learning the history of the Bahamas.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Walking Tour of Downtown Nassau

EJames_S, Feb 2026
Our tour guide Charles was extremely knowledgeable and funny too! The commentary and information Charles provided on our walk was easily understood and we could hear him through the earpieces provided. You could tell Charles was very proud to be Bahamian and his extensive knowledge of its history was very apparent. A bottle of water was provided and there were a few chances to stop at a bathroom along the tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Oh wow...I'm lost for words. Thank you so much for your beautiful review. I'm so happy that you enjoyed tour.

Excellent tour guide but point of interests are limited as a walking tour

Tennyson_C, Feb 2026
The tour guide is very well prepared and good to provide the tour. The paste fits our group and the tour was very informative. Well done for the guide. But the place of interests in Nassau is in general not that interesting that this walking tour is a must-do.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for your review. We were happy to show you little Nassau.

Great tour

Sharon_L, Feb 2026
Great value and you learn an awful lot about the history of the island. Our guide Charles was fabulous and a real Bahamian character. The pina coladas at the rum distillery were fabulous.

Good tour of Nassau on my first trip here. Steven guided our group to many sights, provided the history of each place and answered our questions with kindness and respect. He is very knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Starting point not far from cruise port.

Jessie_M, Jan 2026
I enjoyed the walk. Charles was our guide and he did an excellent job! You cross streets often and he makes sure all are safe. He was excellent to remind us when we need to watch our step. I give Charles a 10 put of 10.

Perfect for one day in Nassau

Garrett_R, Jan 2026
This was the perfect way to experience Nassau in one afternoon. We visited on a cruise, so we only had a few hours to see as much as we could. Our guide, Charles, was so knowledgable and passionate about Nassau and the history of the Bahamas. And we ended the tour with the best Piña Colada I've ever had from John Watling's Distillery. Can't recommend this walking tour enough.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Wow...Garret thanks for the beautiful review.

Walking tour of Nassau, Bahamas

Cheryl_G, Dec 2025
Charles and Sonia were delightful and we loved all we learned on our Bahamas walking tour! We would highly recommend this to others!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your beautiful review Cheryl. It was our pleasure.

Fantastic - Loved it thoroughly!

Jasmine_C, Dec 2025
We had such a wonderful delightful experience with Sonia and Charles yesterday. The first thing that stood out was the absolute JoY they both took in doing this - it is a pleasure, not work for them. We were greeted by Sonia in their office with a winning smile and twinkle in her eyes. This was no bored, non-present-minded operator spewing off their knowledge mechanically or pretending to be interested. Charles amplified the experience for us with his charming personality, laid back energy, kindness, obvious love for people and great sense of humour. We were thrilled to learn about the Bahamas, see all the beauty and fun she has to offer, the resilience, creativity and brilliance of her people through this walking tour. The earpieces are an excellent idea and a must to fully enjoy the tour!!!! We appreciated the bottled water, beautifully made chocolate and refreshing pina colada, especially after the exertion up the Queen's stairs in the hot humid afternoon. Thank you Sonia and professor Charles for co-creating such a fantastic memory of Bahamas for us! :)

This was a great intro to Nassau tour. Excellent way to have a local navigate us to all the must-see spots in Nassau. Charles, our guide was super knowlegabe, informative, friendly, and funny. This tour is great, both for those coming off the cruises, who have limited time, and also those staying in Nassau to get a good overview of the must-see places.

Lynn_C, Oct 2025
Sonya and Charles are a delightful couple who own the company. They take pride in offering a great tour and we wholeheartedly agree that it is a bargain! Charles is an enthusiastic guide who knows the history of the island and tells it with gusto. He also is attuned to guests needs and eager to help.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Great walking tour with Charles

rosetune100, Oct 2025
Great tour for an overview and history of Nassau and current times. Charles was an excellent guide, so friendly courteous and extremely patient. One person in our group (not in our family) decided he wanted to lead the group. Charles was amazingly patient with this person’s rudeness. Charles kept a reasonable pace and gave us plenty of rests in the shade. All the stops were very interesting, fun and informative. All six of us in our family enjoyed the tour very much. Thanks you Charles 🙂 Mama Rose

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you Mama Rose for such a beautiful review. We are so excited that all of you enjoyed the tour.

Great walking tour

Steve_W, Aug 2025
Had a great 3 hours with Stephen our walking tour guide. He was very accommodating and we never felt we were in a rush between the main places we visited. Nassau has surprising number of ‘hidden treasures’ that can be uncovered by this tour. It was the right mix of walking outside with inside air conditioned places to visit. Just make sure you take plenty of water as well as pictures…

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for such a beautiful review. It does my heart so well when my guests said they enjoyed the tour. I sure that Stephen will appreciate your review
