It was great experience and very informative.. the two guides were very knowledgeable and kept the tour fun!!
We had a great experience on the food tour, the food was delicious, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, and our driver got us around safely! I would 100% recommend this tour if you’re in Nassua!
The Nassau food tour was an extremely fun experience. Our tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, and made the tour enjoyable from beginning to end. I especially appreciated learning more about Nassau while experiencing the local food and culture.
My favorite stop was the open fish market. It felt authentic and gave us an opportunity to see and experience a side of Nassau that we may not have discovered on our own. That was definitely one of the highlights of the tour for me.
My only disappointment was that I expected to sample a wider variety of food. We had conch salad, conch fritters, rice, chicken, and coleslaw. While I enjoyed the experience, I expected a food tour to include more stops and a broader range of Bahamian dishes and flavors.
Overall, we had a great time, and the tour guides were definitely the highlight. Their personalities, knowledge, and friendliness made the experience memorable. With a little more variety in the food offerings, this would have been an even better experience.
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Sandi was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable about Nassau’s history. The food was excellent. If you're interested in good people, learning about Nassau, and tasty food, this is the tour for you.
Sandy and Mario were great. H was a great driver. Sandy is very knowable on the history of the island and I would defineately recommend them .
This tour was wonderful. Sandi is a wealth of information, which she mixes with tasting stops. She always made sure we had beverages available, and asked about food allergies. And the stops (4 tastings and then lunch) were delicious.
I would book this again.
Besides being late for tour it was great. The food and history was good. Queens steps was beautiful. Sandy and Jason Was great.
Ms. Sandi and her team were amazing, professional, knowledgeable, and FUN!! I highly recommend booking with them!
Sandy and Jason were amazing. I really enjoyed everything about this tour. I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for showing us your beautiful country and the food and all the tastings was great.
Loved the small group. There were only 4 in attendance. Very informative and personalized. The tour guide and driver was most impressive with their knowledge.
This is our second time doing this tour and it’s simple amazing!! Sandy and the driver are so knowledgeable about the island. They are so friendly. The stops we made were awesome. It shows you a lot of their culture outside of the tourist areas. I recommend this tour 110%.
Sandy and Jermaine were absolutely wonderful. They kept the history entertaining and had wonderful engagement with everyone. My only issue was that I forgot to get Sandy's chicken recipe. Please have her email me! Lol
This was one of the coolest tours we have done when traveling. It was awesome to go see local areas, learn the history while traveling, and having amazing food and drinks in the process. The tour guides were amazing and so fun and knowledgeable. Make sure to bring cash with you to tip the local vendors, purchase any extra food and drinks, and tip the tour guides!
Sandy and Jason were wonderful. We learned a lot, saw some cool sites and ate delicious food and drinks. We had a great time!
We had an amazing experience on this Bahamas tour! The food was absolutely delicious, and one of the highlights of the trip.
What truly made the experience special, though, were Sandy and Jason. From the moment we arrived, they treated everyone like family. Their warmth, hospitality, and genuine care created such a welcoming atmosphere that made the entire day unforgettable. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time and felt comfortable.
If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable Bahamas tour with fantastic food and outstanding hosts, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Sandy and Jason, for making our trip so special!
Had an excellent tour with guide Sandy and driver Jason. The highlight of the tour was a stop at a fish market where we had conch salad fresh from the shell. There were plenty of rum shots aboard the bus to keep things fun!
Fun time with no need to worry about the details for your day. Sandi and Jason take care of everything. Pick up was perfect with good directions to meeting place. All stops were good. Sandi is very informative and seems to enjoy her job.
If you are looking for the perfect local experience, you have to book this tour! From start to finish, it was an absolute 10/10.
Our tour guide was the absolute star of the show. She was incredibly informative, highly interactive, and had this amazing gift of making a whole group of strangers instantly feel like family. Her energy was infectious!
The stops were flawless, but the highlights were definitely the food and drinks:
The Conch Salad: Incredibly fresh, vibrant, and hands-down amazing.
The Rum Sampling: Phenomenal pours and a super fun atmosphere.
The Rum Cake Place: The perfect sweet finish to an unforgettable day.
Don't hesitate—book this tour immediately. You will love every second of it!
Good expereience again with Sandy, her and Allen are a delight to have! Mom was in wheel chair and she was able to accommodate. The information was given in a very memorable way!
Sandy and Jason were incredible! They were fun, knowledgeable, and super accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure our group had a great experience and it felt like we were getting an inside look into the beautiful Bahamian culture through their friends at each stop. We do a lot of food tours through Viator and this one will go down as one of our favorites! Highly recommend as a stop during your cruise. An experience like no other and you will not regret booking this tour!
We had just a super GREAT time on this tour. Miss Sandi, our Guide, is such a wealth of knowledge about all things Bahama. She’s what we’d call “Sandi-pedia”. Her depth of knowledge in Bahamian cultural, historical and cuisine is outstanding. Sandi led us through conch markets, tea stops, forts and historic sites all the while making it so FUN and stimulating. We’ve taken tours like these on numerous islands but this was by far the very best and Sandi was truly remarkable. If you are interested in seeing Bahamian food, drink, history and culture - then this is your tour. Vehicle was immaculate, tour started on time and was well paced.
One last note: After the tour ended and we were dropped off at our hotel I accidentally left my cell phone on the floor of the tour vehicle. Panic time, right? Sandi to the rescue. She discovered my phone when she got home and was cleaning the vehicle. She turned around and drove all the way back to our hotel to return it. Unbelievable!!
Sandy and Mario were outstanding. Fortunately, I was the third guest of three. It was like a private tour, since our group was so small. We could ask as many questions as we wanted. Me, as a history nerd, enjoyed that part. Sandy made us feel like we were family. She knew her history and was engaged the entire tour. She didn't allow for any dull moments. Mario's personality is great and it works well, as it is different from Sandy. His driving was purposeful and didn't allow the traffic to put him in a bad mood. We parked close to every entrance and never had to walk far. Absolutely a five star experience.
We had a great experience on the Nassau tour. Both the guide and the driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of the island, tasting local food, and visiting popular landmarks.
I would definitely recommend this tour!
This was a fabulous alternative to normal cruise ship offerings. Much more personal, lots of great opportunities to taste drinks and food. Our guide, Candy, was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable. The bus driver, Jason, added a lot of fun too! Loved learning about the island too.
Great food and history. Sandi, our tour guide is well versed of Bahamian history and cusine. Especially love the Conch salad and the tamarind glazed chicken wings at the Drifters same with the rum cake andcthe shot of rum. 👍😊
My family of 5 really enjoyed this tour. We love history and food and this was a great way to get away from the cruise ship crowd for a more immersive experience. We happened to be the only group on the tour but it didn’t stop the guides from giving their best at providing us with a great experience. Plenty of food and drink mixed in with history and culture of Nassau. We loved that we were taken to the local places where the guides knew the fish mongers and museum guides, store and restaurant owners. Nothing was pushy about wanting you to shop at the places they took us, although there was opportunity at several places to do a little pressure free shopping. We would highly recommend to anyone, especially those with a short amount of time while on a cruise day stop.
Sandi and Jason were great hosts for a 3.5+ hour tour of Nassau. Lots of history and tasting sprinkled in with humor and sightseeing. Relaxed pace but felt like we got a lot done. The tea shop wasn’t really needed.
Wonderful food sampling, especially the fresh conk salad. We enjoyed Bahama mama‘s water and various other samplings at different stops our tour guide.
Sandy was amazing. Highly recommend this tour
This was a lively experience. Put a little something on your stomach before going so the sun and rum don’t put you out.
Enjoyed Sandy our guide and Kevin our driver. Would highly recommend an additional step to get into the bus to prevent the fall and bruising I experienced trying to step up into the high step.
