Best way to explore the city!

Andrea_R, Apr 2024

Krista was great and very knowledgeable on the Bahamian history and culture. She also gave great recommendations! Definitely a fun way to learn about the city near the port.

Great three hour tour of the city close to port.

Jessica_R, Apr 2024

Pick up location was clear and easy to find. Lunch recommendations were helpful. Tour guide was very informative. Great value for the price.

Great Walking Tour about history and culture

Jean_W, Apr 2024

Great walking tour for those who can walk a good distance unassisted! Very informative. Guide was very knowlegable about the history and culture of the island. She was very friendly, personable and arrived and finished promptly. Loved every moment of it!

Great walking tour of DT Nassau

Brandon_V, Apr 2024

Very nice walking tour for the highlights of downtown Nassau. Highlights include the water tower, queens staircase, chocolate factory and rum distillery. Other monuments and specialty buildings like the US embassy were passed by as part of the itinerary. It’s a great way to see a quick rundown within 3 hours. Walked away with restaurant recs for the rest of the trip.

Fun Day

Todd_L, Apr 2024

Queens Staircase was amazing. Awesome tour guide very knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this excursion.

Great way to see Nassau

Tamara_S, Apr 2024

I enjoyed learning about the history of the Bahamas. Krista was very knowledgeable. She broke up the walk in to short segments keeping a good bit attainable pace.

Best way to start the day!

Christa is a wonderful guide! Knowledgeable, kind, enthusiastic and shares the best inside tips. You’ll feel like a Nassau local on this walking tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Savanna_O, Mar 2024

We really enjoyed the walking tour with Christa. Our tour was very authentic and we learned quite a bit about Nassau.

Best walking tour in Nassau

Nicholas_Z, Mar 2024

Had an amazing tour! Christa is very knowledgeable and excellent guide. We got to see everything we wanted to see in the downtown area. Very highly recommended!

Very personable & knowledgeable:)

Sheeja_K, Mar 2024

Very personable & knowledgeable:) we had a larger than expected group but she made it work. Hit eveything but the distillery. Thank you Krista, our new stranger friend!

Mostly just walking (with a kind guide)

Scott_W, Mar 2024

Christa is super friendly as well as "kind," per the tour's title. However, the only places listed on the tour that there is time to experience is the chocolate factory and the distillery. Regarding the other "sights," there is no time to even get a good look at the outside (except from the angle of where the group stands while a brief history is given). It would have been better to spend less time on self-intros and pre-tour talk (I think this was partly to wait for light rain to pass over, but it was about 25 minutes--time that could have been used to get a closer look at places like Fort Fincastle and Christ Church Cathedral). Time was also wasted, stopping for quizzes about local flora. Bottom line: if you are looking for a cheerful, nice local guide to walk you around and point out some places of historical- and agricultural interest in Nassau, this is a good tour for you. Just keep in mind that it's mostly about walking (and walking and walking) and being kind.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent experience with KINDWalk. I appreciate your kind words about my friendliness. I understand your concerns regarding the walking distance and the time allocated for each site. As mentioned in the tour description, at 2 to 3 hours the tour covers the entirety of Nassau City, requiring approximately 2 miles of walking. My aim is to provide a comprehensive exploration of the area, offering glimpses into the historical and cultural significance of each site. Regarding the time spent on tour introduction and discussions about local flora, I apologize if this felt excessive to you. My intention is to create an immersive experience that goes beyond just sightseeing. I believe that fostering meaningful conversations among guests enriches the overall tour experience, allowing for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the surroundings. The "wasted" time are also carefully disguised active rest periods. I also want to address your feedback regarding Fort Fincastle and Christ Church Cathedral. Due to logistical reasons and the varying interests of my guests, I focus on providing external information about these sites. However, I encourage guests who are interested in exploring further to do so at their own pace, and I'm always happy to provide recommendations for further exploration. Once again, thank you for your feedback, and I hope I have the opportunity to welcome you back for another exploration in the future. Take care!

Tour canceled by Operator less than 24 hrs before the tour

Tricia_S, Mar 2024

I chose this tour due to the great reviews. However, less than a day before the tour, I got a call to let us know our tour was canceled without any explanation. I appreciate the call and the refund. But this is not good practice as we were left without a tour less than 24 hrs before our arrival in Nassau. At a minimum, we should be given at least 24 hrs notice similar to the requirement for customer cancellation.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hi Trish! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by the cancellation of your tour. I'd like to clarify that the 24-hour cancellation policy primarily pertains to guest cancellations and their eligibility for a full refund. As a tour operator, I strive to accommodate my guests to the best of my ability, but there are instances where unforeseen circumstances may arise that require me to cancel a tour. While I do my utmost to provide advance notice whenever possible, there are times when last-minute cancellations become necessary. Your cancellation was communicated to you via Viator message which is also emailed to you as well as by telephone call at around 6pm the day before your tour which is about 19 hours notice. Please be assured that such decisions are made with careful consideration of various factors, including the availability of resources and the ability to provide a fulfilling experience for my guests. As for your expectation of a detailed explanation for the cancellation, please understand that while I strive to provide excellent customer service, it is not always feasible to offer detailed explanations for every cancellation. Nevertheless, I apologize if this lack of explanation left you feeling dissatisfied. Regarding your mention of being left without a tour within 24 hours of your arrival, there are several tours of Nassau City listed on Viator/Tripadvisor also with glowing reviews and are quite popular therefore I find it difficult to believe that you were unable to find alternative tours. I appreciate your feedback, and I'm sorry that I was unable to meet your expectations on this occasion. I assure you that I value all feedback as it helps me improve my services in the future. Take care!

An extraordinary guide!

Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and engaging. She was also eager to answer all of our questions. She was especially patient and kind with my elderly dad while keeping the group moving.

Great walking tour

Taleah_B, Feb 2024

Excellent tour! My mom and I were LATE and stressed. We were able to meet up with the group and Christa didn’t skip a beat. Her tour took us places that us tourists probably wouldn’t have felt comfortable exploring on our own. She was very knowledgeable and informative! 10/10 would recommend!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm glad I could accommodate you and your mom, even though you were running late. It was a pleasure guiding you to places that might have been daunting to explore on your own. I'm thrilled to hear that you found the tour informative and enjoyable. Your recommendation means a lot, and I would be delighted to welcome you both back for another exploration in the future!
