Lisa was our tour guide and she was wonderful! Super fun and funny. She provided a great mix of historical background while having a good time. Our family had a nice time on this 3 hour tour. The pace was great also, never feeling rushed. Truly appreciate her allowing us to buy chocolates while at the chocolatier too. The only improvements that I would recommend is the hotel where the drink was done. It was a very run down place and very odd. People with underwear on the floor in the small entranceway and men in the women's bathroom, etc. Couple those items with people swimming in the small courtyard as you try to converse with others was unappealing. I would say cut that place out and get a drink elsewhere or combine it with one of the food places instead. In summary, we would definitely recommend this tour though. The food was excellent at each place too!

Lisa Rocked!! Very personable and funny. Deservedly proud of her family and her country. Her delivery never seemed contrived and her knowledge of Bahamian history was very insightful. Bravissima! All the food was great! Ended going to Graycliff for lunch a few days later on Easter Sunday with my wife. We didn’t sample their food on the tour but the ambiance was exquisite, so we splurged and it didn’t disappoint. I am a foodie for sure and this was right up my alley. I would highly recommend it. Lisa!!!!!
