Parish gave superb services throughout our tour. He clearly identified several historical landmarks and events. He made sure our group stayed together and didn't stray away. He instantly remembered our names. I would definitely use his services again.

Excellent tour / Excellent tour guide!

Andrew_G, Mar 2026
This was an awesome tour! It was exactly what we were looking for. Parish was the best! This was an awesome introduction to The Bahamas, and seeing/learning things that you normally wouldn't if you just stuck to the typical tourist hot spots. I can't say enough good things about Parish. He was so nice, fun, and interesting.

A Grand Tour of Bahamas Capital

A Tour Not to be Missed

RichardDavid_T, Jan 2026
I’ve been to Nassau three times, but I’ve never really been to Nassau until I took this tour. Parrish was very knowledgeable, accommodating and caring. He is the best!!! This is the best Nassau tour you can possibly take.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for review!! Greatly appreciate it!

Parish is very...

Annu_W, Jan 2026
Parish is very knowledgeable about island history and a genuinely nice person. since it was new year's day there were traffic jams everywhere, he was flexible and got us to all the places that were open and added some locations that were interesting. we had a mix of elderly and young people in the group and he kept everyone entertained and made sure everyone was comfortable getting around. highly recommend.

Do not book this tour.

Natasha_C, Dec 2025
The tour felt very rushed. We were meant to go to fort montague and fort fincastle but we werent taken there. We were just asked to wander around the sights on our own. We felt that we basically paid for someone to drive us around and we had to ask many questions about the history before getting answer. I don understand why most of the review said is very good. Go book with other people

Response from Host, Dec 2025

I remember you two ladies from Malaysia, terrible guest. you are the only group that’s actually taken my your and said you had a bad experience. You changed your pick up location twice, five minutes before pick up time, we were behind from the jump. You two never wanted to stick to the given time at the stops, you held up the tour for the other family and we were waiting on you guys that’s why you felt rushed. I can attest that the other family on tour with you will say the same, they had a great time by the way, left a generous tip. You guys were given the history that you requested some information is saved for the end of tour, you received it just not when you initially requested it. Fort Fincastle is closed, I told you that… Fort Montague was our first stop ✋

Absolutely Amazing- A must do!!! Beautiful and Informative

Parish was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I traveled with a child and my mom and he was extremely accommodating. 10 out 10 !!

Memorable trip!

Amber_K, Nov 2025
Parish went above and beyond to make our tour on the island memorable. He taught us so much history along the way and picked the best spots for our family. Along the way he offered to take photos everywhere we went. If you are ever find yourself at the Bahamas book with Parish, you will not regret it!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Amber! You guys were amazing! Thank you so much for the review!

Great tour

Kyle_P, Oct 2025
Great tour! Parish was on time and very knowledgeable. His van was clean and AC was blowing cold. I would definitely recommend.

Nausea history

Linda_B, Sep 2025
Paris was the kindness.gentleman our four friends and family could ask for. He knew we could not stand the heat and as 70 year old ladies he knew we would better off touring the winery and chocolate factory

One day visit in Nassau

Maria_C, Sep 2025
Nice tour with nice guide. It was a pleasure having our guide take us around. Only negative was it was very hot and AC broke down in van. Obviously not his fault.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

thank you for being so considerate guys! Happy you guys still had a great time!

Parish was awesome! He's very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We enjoyed him as our tour guide and would recommend him to others.

Excellent guide!

Virginie_F, Jul 2025
Parish was driving and telling us about Nassau. He has great knowledge of the Bahamas in general and very good contact with everyone. We saw the rum cake factory, the queen's staircase, umbrella street, and the fort... among others. It was very interesting thanks to an excellent professional tour guide. I am very happy that we visited Nassau with him. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing experience

Isabella_M, Jun 2025
We had an amazing experience on this tour. Our tour guide, Parish, was absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable about the history of the Bahamas and each of the places we visited. We would absolutely book another tour with him.

Must try this tour.

Patricia_M, Jun 2025
Parish arrived exactly on time. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He told us a lot about the history of the Bahamas and the places we visited. The only reason for us not to give 5 stars is that visiting other large hotels is not really of interest to us. The Queens steps and Fort Fincastle were the highlights. Also tasted some great cake at the rum cake factory. Passed by various historic buildings where again Parish gave us lots of interesting information. Thanks Parish we enjoyed our private trip with you and would not hesitate to recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Wow guys my first 4 star review! Sorry you didn’t like the large hotel vibe. I do appreciate the glowing review none the less!

Best Tour and Guide Ever

Nicole_R, May 2025
Parish is the BEST! He’s soo friendly and makes you feel like a local. He was constantly giving us info about our surroundings while driving. The stops we made where great too!

Amazing Experience!

Carla_S, May 2025
We had an absolutely excellent experience on this tour in the Bahamas. From start to finish our tour guide was very friendly and welcoming. He was incredibly informative — our guide shared intereting history, local culture, and fun facts throughout the entire trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn and enjoy at the same time.

A must book Tour!!!!

Pablo_G, May 2025
That it is a Top Tier experience and He goes above to make it a good experience and explain all the history everywhere you go! Definitely has a good sense of humor and very kind. Most definitely would recommend!!!

Fantastic Tour with an Engaging Guide!

Kimberly_S, Mar 2025
This was a great tour of the historical sites in Nassau! Parish brought such an amazing energy that made learning about the island’s history fun and engaging. He was quick to communicate the pickup location as soon as I booked, which made everything seamless. The tour had the perfect mix of sites to keep both kids and adults interested. I would highly recommend Parish to everyone visiting Nassau!

Top Notch Tour!

Carl_L, Mar 2025
We had an excellent tour with Parish! He is a very knowledgeable and thorough tour guide. He was very flexible with the tour itinerary and was able to make some changes due to our younger children. Definitely highly recommend this tour - if you are on the fence …book it!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

This is one of our best tour. Parish was knowledgeable and very friendly. We really enjoyed our day and highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you 😊 Happy you enjoyed your time in Nassau!

First class!

William_E, Feb 2025
This is a first class historical tour of the Bahamas. Last about 3 hours. Make sure you are aware times are island times not ship time. Not a shopping tour although you can shop a little at Atlantis. Parish is a first class tour guide. Very accommodating and wants to make sure his guest are taken care of. He is far above any taxi driver or tour guide you will find. If only there were a Parish at every port! Van was clean and cool. We had 6 in our group, but Parish took care of each one of us. Do not hesitate to book this tour.
