Excellent

Yaneli_V, Apr 2024

Everything was exceptional. Thank eso much to Mario for his wonderful time he make our time even more perfect in the beautiful Bahamas

Awesome Tour Highly Recommend

Melissa_M, Apr 2024

Great tour very informative Mario the tour guide will take you to all the cool places on the island and he will even take you to some spots of your special interest. We are into the cigars, so he took us to the cigar factory and got us a tour there as well he was super nice and we were actually able to use him as a taxi a few times on the island too. Everything felt safe and fun. We had a great time and highly recommend it.

Mario was a great tour...

Charles_W, Mar 2024

Mario was a great tour guide! He was professional, timely and unrushed. Our family appreciated the chance to learn about the island and its history. We were humbled by the story of queen’s staircase and the lives of the enslaved people who were sacrificed to build it. The kids loved the bat cave. The rum cake and the conch fritters were excellent! The tour was well worth it! Thanks, Mario!

Fun all around !!!

sandrine_p, Mar 2024

We had an excellent time with Mario !!! We learned and got some interesting facts about the Bahamas. Mario introduced us to Island boy who was a caractère on his own with many fun facts about the famous stairway… We did some tasting and some sites see. All around a great time for our family

A+ Experience with Mario

Barry_S, Mar 2024

Mario was welcoming and professional. His vehicle very clean and a safe driver. He showed us the highlights of the Islams and areas I have never seen in Nassau after many trips. His stops along the way were interesting. A+ experience I recommend him highly!!

Nassau at it’s Best

Mark_S, Feb 2024

Mario was outstanding. On time on location. Nice vehicle very comfortable. Asked us if we had any particular places to see or if we wanted the highlights. The places and the narrative were excellent. Curly’s for Conch was great. All in all the best excursion we had on our cruise..

So friendly…highly recommend!

Stacie_D, Jan 2024

Mario is so friendly! We loved that we could choose which sites to visit. He even stopped and bought us some fried conch to try. He was so great that we had him pick us up the next day for trip to the airport.

Highly Recommended This Tour!

Stephen_J, Jan 2024

Mario was Awesome! Besides the attractions listed, he took us to places that only the natives would know, and recommended some very good local restaurants. He is very knowledgeable and willing to satisfy our needs. We definitely will contact him the next time we are in Nassau!

Great tour!

Yolanda_S, Jan 2024

Our guide was amazing. We learned a lot about the history of the island. He was super informative and flexible. We had an amazing tour.

Skip the Cruise Ship Excursions and Book this Tour

Bethany_C, Jan 2024

Mario was a phenomenal tour guide for our family! He communicated well, answered all of our questions, and seemed genuinely excited to show us around Nassau, including places we didn’t even expect to see. At the attractions he hooked us up with guides on site, stayed with us, took photos of us, and told us what to watch for/pay attention to. If you are going to Nassau, you should definitely book a tour. We were in town for just a portion of the day on a cruise stop and based on what I heard from other cruisers and saw of their photos, we had the superior experience!

Best tour I’ve ever done thru Viator

John_H, Jan 2024

This was the best tour I’ve ever done thru Viator. Mario created a personal four hour tour for us, that totally matched our interests.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you very much and it was my pleasure to provide you with and unforgettable experience of Nassau .

Definitely would recommend

Brian_G, Jan 2024

Mario was great! We had no idea what we wanted to see so we left it in his hands. He took us to many different locations and we enjoyed every stop. He was very informative . Wish we had done the 4 hour tour instead of the 2 hour. We definitely would recommend him and plan on looking him up next time we are back in Nassau.

Friendly but fell short of expectations

Chrystiann_K, Jan 2024

It was nice getting picked up at our hotel. Our guide let us design the tour based on what we wanted to see while also showing us points of interest we were not familiar with. The downside was the tour did not include fees. I should have checked but with the price we paid, I assumed entry fees were covered. We paid extra to enter the museums and tours. Basically we paid for a half day of Uber with a friendly driver.

First Viator disappointment

Karen_D, Jan 2024

This package included all admission to the but we still had to pay at the Fort and pirate museum. Both Viator and Mario knew and acknowledged it but chose to not do anything about it. So I paid the full price plus admissions. Do not believe what the posting says. Mario was on time and clean vehicle. Was kind enough to buy us conch fritters at last drop off. A nice gesture but odd given he was not being truthful about admission costs. Mario also took pictures of us with his personal phone which was uncomfortable and in hindsight, I wish I spoke up. We felt pressured to make purchases when he takes you to the rum cake factory and the tea spot despite us NOT asking to go to either of those spots.

Just Like Being Shown Around Town by an Old Friend

Danny_B, Dec 2023

This was just the most unexpectedly wonderful experience we could have had. This was an impromptu quick trip for myself and my son for a combination Xmas/1st-successful-semester-of-college getaway. After booking the trip, we were contacted by Mario K, who picked us up and took us to see not only the various sights we’d selected, but took the best routes across the island to get there while providing just a lovely narrative and such a warm demeanor! He honestly made us feel like we’d known him for years, and I truly felt as if an old friend had reconnected with us!! I truly will miss him, and the insight into the island’s history was exponentially more informative than I’d ever expected. I truly feel for the struggles and triumphs that the Bahamians experienced to get where they are today and am jealous of the wonderful piece of Heaven they get to call home. I thoroughly plan to return for a small respite with my wife and introduce her to Mario and repeat the tour just for her to see how wonderful Nassau and the Blessed Bahamian culture!! Book with Mario K, and he will go far above and beyond what us Americans have come to accept as a typical tour and you will not be disappointed. This truly made my trip to help immerse my son in the essence of a different culture that had yet at the same time strangely been created simultaneously as our own culture was coming to fruition by the same colonial origins. Nassau City Tour is a fantastic investment an not to disappoint!! Thank you again for offering it allowing us to escape the cold for a brief time with such warm people!!

Highly recommended

Randy_D, Dec 2023

Very personal tour. Took us to the places we wanted to see along with tourist areas. Very knowledgeable and great information.

Great tour!

Jamie_K, Dec 2023

I booked this tour last minute. Mario was great! He was very accommodating and told and showed us a lot about Nassau. He even treated us to conch fritters and soda at the end of the tour! I definitely recommend this excursion.

Private tour

Pam_P, Nov 2023

Mario was very helpful. Tiffany was a terrific guide! She was so knowledgeable and friendly!! She asked what I wanted to see and then added many other interesting places. I highly recommend this tour!!

History in Paradise

Amy_M, Nov 2023

From start to finish, Mario had us covered! He was excellent with communication! He shared our itinerary would not fit within our 2 hour tour and made some alternative suggestions. He was great with his directions on where to meet him the morning of the excursion as well. Though we had a different tour guide who works with Mario, Tiffany was absolutely amazing! So was so knowledgable and personable and we had a great time and learned a lot from her.

Great way to learn more about Nassau!

Susan_S, Nov 2023

Mario provided us a thoughtful tour of the island. He showed us the varied communities and shared the local history while telling us about the people and customs of Nassau. He was also kind enough to stop at a computer store along the way for me to purchase a computer charger! He was available to drop and pick us up for dinner later in the evening. I highly recommend Mario!
