This walking tour in Nassau was one of the highlights of our girls trip. Stephen was super friendly, did an amazing job blending history with local spots, and the pace was perfect—not rushed but never boring. He also really watched out for the walkers when crossing roads, etc. I really appreciated getting to see both well-known landmarks and hidden spots. So much fun! Highly recommend!

    Stephen did an AMAZING...

    Antyana_C, Jul 2026
    Stephen did an AMAZING job giving us a tour of downtown Nassau!! He made sure we had water to drink as well as made sure we were safe walking across very busy streets! We also made additional stops to local shops along the way that had amazing food and drinks waiting for us to try! Lastly, Stephen went out his way after the excursion was over to show my party and I where to catch the water ferry which was greatly appreciated! Definitely a 10/10 excursion and will do it again next time we’re in Bahamas!!

    Stephen was born and raised in Nassau and has a wealth of knowledge. We learned a lot and enjoyed some tastings along the way. This two and a half hour tour was truly enjoyable, and I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed!

    Fantastic tour and great guide!

    SheriL, Jan 2026
    We had a wonderful time on this tour! The walking tour really was a great way to see Nassau and the distances were very manageable for us. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We happened to have a very small group so the guide was willing to customize the tour for us and even worked to add items to the tour to make sure we got the best value and saw the things we wanted to see. I can't say enough about how happy we were to have taken this tour and met our guide. I would very highly recommend!

    🌴✨ Just did the historic walking tour in Nassau and loved it! Fun stories, colorful sights, and the perfect way to see the city beyond the beach. Highly recommend! 🏰🌊

    Worth it!

    Shari_C, Jul 2025
    Do this walking tour! Stephen is a young spirited host and will keep you safe you as navigate through downtown Nassau and learn about the culture & history here. My 10 year old even enjoyed it and Stephen offered her breaks in the shade when he saw her struggling with the heat & sun.
