Charlie was very informative and accommodating. The tour was fun. We tried conch fritters and went to the beach.

We absolutely loved this tour. Irene took us around the island introducing us not only to the Lucaya Marketplace and the beach but also to the culture of the island. Learning about the different areas of Grand Bahama Island, their government and history was exactly what we were looking for. And then to end the trip at Banana Bay with conch fritters was the best way to top it off. Definitely try the Guava Daquiri!

Our 3 generation party ranging from 81 to 23 years old all really enjoyed this tour. This included seeing and learning about several local villages, a 300 year old light house, and visiting a rocky beach strewn with shells left by conch fishermen (free souvenirs!). We also got a glimpse of how the wealthiest 1% live, primarily celebrities with vacation homes. We learned of past and present primary industries and economic drivers in the Bahamas. Tourism is actually relatively new. We ate conch fritters and had delicious tropical drinks. We enjoyed a short stop at beautiful Taino Beach. We passed on getting the fresh conch salad there, but I suggest others eat a light breakfast in order to enjoy that local specialty. There were 4-5 stops where we got out and looked around, and most had restrooms that were clean.
Charlie, our tour guide, was wonderful and answered all our questions. He's been doing this for more than 35 years, so there's no stumping him! The only slight constructive criticism would be to skip the straw market near the end of the tour since we'd already been to another souvenir market earlier on the tour. Kudos to Charlie though for helping the local economies around the island. The vendors are chill; no pressure about sales as experienced in other places in the Caribbean. This is a 2 thumbs up and 5 star tour, and a great value for the price. I recommend it without any hesitation.

Lynette was very informative about life on the island. Didn't rush thru tour. Covered a lot of the island

We were nearly an hour late in leaving waiting for a person who never showed up. This made us late in getting back to the ship for one of our planned activities. The van was less than new. Shock absorbers were non-existent. Clean but not new. A/C worked the microphone did not making it difficult to hear. Our guide was very informative and courteous. The places we went were interesting and we did see what there was of Freeport which is not much. Our group was fun.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Bradshaw gave us a wonderful tour around the island. He answered all the questions we asked with nuance, humor, and detail. We enjoyed being able to see beyond the typical tourist paths and learning more about island culture. Conch fritters were not our cup of tea, but it was still neat to try them! Ride was comfortable and he graciously agreed to photos when we asked. Thanks for a great time!

Great

Mr. Charlie is an excellent guide, we thoroughly enjoyed the history of the island, it was unfortunate that he tried to talk to us, the extra person just wouldn't let him explain everything, so we made the most of it. I would say that souvenirs are very expensive around the island be prepared and not surprised.

My cruise ship diverted us to Freeport due to Hurricane Phillippe. I booked this last minute excursion and it was awesome.
Our tour guide Charlie was very attentive and knowledgeable. He showed us the island from a naive point of view and it was great.
We took us to a private beach to e joy the water and local food and ended the tour at the Marketplace where we enjoyed the couch salad.
Thanks for your patience and allowing us to share your amazing island at short notice.

Charlie was a wonderful tour guide. He was full of knowledge about the area and all on the Bahamas. He took the time to get to know us and had no problem answering questions no matter how random they were. It was a pleasure to spend out time exploring the area with him. In this experience we went to a fruit/souvenir market, stopped at Taino Beach (2 hr endeavor), and visited Port Lucaya Marketplace.
