    Hida was an amazing guide. She educated us on the Island and its people. Shared great stories. Introduced us to several locals. We got to enjoy conch fritters at the market. Which were amazing and a must try. Great food and drinks at Banana Bay and the beach was beautiful plus peaceful. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Combination of town tour and culinary experience
    Alberto_C, Jan 2024
    Excellent narration and guiding bu Hida, highly recommended. Learned how to pull the meat from the conch.Thw whole experience and the fact that you get to know a lot of Freeport and the background. Possibly more recommended in March or April instead of January.

    Great Authentic Experience
    AngelaWhitlow, Jan 2023
    The tour guide, Hida, was knowledgeable and friendly. We toured the Maritime Museum, spent time at the Marketplace, experienced fresh conch at two restaurants, and traveled throughout the city with Hida informing us about the history and landmarks. We spent 6 hours plus and had many more stops to tour even after. I would highly recommend the tour!!
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Thank you Angela for your lovely review and I am so thrilled you both had a great day out with me!!! Please do come back again with your family, friends and associates to explore more of Grand Bahama. Looking forward to your next visit, Big Hugs, Hida
