The tour was worth every penny and then some! Karon was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable, thoughtful and welcoming. He went above and beyond to personalize the tour and make it worthwhile. We were able to go to the various high points of downtown Nassau, see the different neighborhoods and then hang out at a gorgeous beach. The beach water was crystal clear and we could see planes landing every so often, which was cool (we only saw maybe 5 planes in 3 hours, so it won’t cause a noise issue). Karon also made sure we got back to our ship in plenty of time. If you want a different excursion off of the ship that supports a great family owned business, this is it!

Tyrone was very friendly and made sure we all stuck together. He wasn’t rushed and was great at letting us take our time to enjoy our surroundings. He was full of information about all sorts of things. We took our parents on this tour who have knee and hip issues and they didn’t feel rushed or pressured to do a lot of walking. They really enjoyed the tour! This was a fun yet educational tour. Highly recommend this tour!!!

Tyrone is an amazing guide. He made our experience truly exceptional and so much fun. I can definitely recommend him for the best historical sightseeing experience . 5stars for sure
