Lisa, our tour guide, is most memorable. She loves her Island, knows its history and food. She took us to great restaurants and the food and drinks were great. She spent about 3 1/2 hours with us. Would highly recommend this tour as you get history and food!
Amazing!
Arrington_E, Apr 2024
Captain Ron is the best! The reviews speak for themselves! Great experience. Food was great, also learned about about Bahamian history
Definitely Worth It!
ChristineRankin, Apr 2024
This tour was fantastic! Captain Ron was an incredible tour guide. He was funny and informative. We learned so much about Bahamian culture! The food was great, everything was delicious. I think I expected a little more food but we did not leave hungry! The walking was very easy. There was a little up hill so anyone with mobility issues should be aware but it’s not strenuous at all. Thank you, Captain Ron! You gave us a great day!
Must do
Andrew_L, Apr 2024
Lisa is the best. Great tour with great food and drink. Must do while in Nassau. We visited Nassau while on a cruise. Found this tour on trip advisor. We would donit again.
Excellent way to be introduced to Bahamian food
SHAWN_S, Apr 2024
The tour was amazing. We stopped at about 5 different places to sample various Bahamian food. We definitely did not leave the tour hungry. Lisa was a wonderful tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.
Great experience! Highly recommend
Amy_J, Apr 2024
We had a fabulous time with Mark! The food, drinks, culture, and history were so great. The best pina colada I’ve ever had!
Fun and delicious.
Paradie_S, Apr 2024
Fun and delicious! We loved all the food and were grateful for the option of mocktails. Two tacos at the distillery would have been perfect. The chocolate factory was fun but I would have liked more substantial food. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Great tour and time with Tommy. We learned so much about the city and ate plenty of amazing food. So happy we booked.
Good mix of food, culture, and history
Kevin_L, Apr 2024
Great tour- nice mix of food, culture, and history. Deja was very knowledgeable about everything and pointed out many fun and interesting things about the Bahamas and nassau
Great guide, great food, light on amount of food.
Steve_U, Apr 2024
Our guide, Lisa, was great! She interacted with everyone in our group. Our girls loved her. Lisa's energy and humor were hugely appreciated. The food and drinks were excellent. Though, we were disappointed in the amount of food. Two of the stops were for drinks only. The food we did eat was great. But, don't expect to get a lot of food. Each stop is interesting, fun, and an enjoyable experience. But, the overall amount of food seemed lacking due to what we paid.
Awesome tour and great experience
Eric_L, Apr 2024
Our tour guide, Deja, was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable on the local history and took us to local authentic places in Nassau. She made it very a personal experience and not just another tour group with specific spots to hit. The local food and drinks we got were delicious. This was much better than just going on an excursion and experiencing one thing. We got much more than that!
Best Day in Nassau
Yvonne_E, Apr 2024
When they say first meal is heaviest, they mean it! Eat a banana for breakfast and nothing else! Our tour lead Captain Ron Pierre was filled with food, culture, history, and fun. I plan to do it again in Nassau. The path is not for walkers and wheelchairs. The food was fabulous. Everyone in our small group of 10 could head Capt Ron and enjoyed the 3 hour tour.
Great tour in Nassau
MICHAEL_M, Apr 2024
Deja the guide was delightful. Truly high point of our stay in Bahamas and gave us a much richer understanding of the place. All the food was delicious and venues were fantastic. We were really happy to see the legendary Greycliff Hotel Cannot recommend this highly enough
Best food tour
katie_h, Apr 2024
Highly recommend this tour!! You get it all food, drinks and some interesting info about Nassau!! It is a walking tour, but Tommy did a great job of walking and stop and eating!! It was a very balanced well done tour!!
So glad we did this!
Anette_J, Apr 2024
The guide was so lovely and helpful! The food was fantastic and the whole experience was top tier! The guide was simply the best!
Well worth the time and money!
John_K, Apr 2024
Dejan was a wonderful guide, and the food was not only delicious, it was plentiful. Way more food then I expected. A lovely walk to interesting places.
Our favorite part of our trip!
Christopher_M, Apr 2024
We had the best experience on our food tour in the Bahamas with Deja. She was a fabulous tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable on the island culture, the food, and the Bahamian history. We loved listening to her and she kept our group engaged the entire time. All of our tastings both food and drink were superb. We would highly recommend this tour. Hopefully, you will be as lucky to have our tour guide, Deja, too.
