    Excellent guided tour!!!
    Jeanine_P, May 2024
    An amazing guided tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide, sharing local history and pride of this beautiful island. Thank you
    Good times!
    Crystal_P, May 2024
    The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the island. We did get a lot of samples, including alcohol. My only issue was the ride was in a van with the windows down, not an air conditioned bus. I would still recommend this tour.
    Great Rime
    Barb_M, Apr 2024
    Our party of 4 did this has an option for an excursion outside what our cruise ship had to offer. Freddy was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable and a lot of fun.
    Amazing tour thank you ❤️
    Konstantina_P, Apr 2024
    Very nice tour we visited everything we wanted to see plus lunch was amazing. It is truly worth it. Thank you 😊
    Awesome experience seeing the best of Nassau!
    John_M, Apr 2024
    What a great excursion! We had our own driver and he was very knowledgeable about Nassau and took us to so many places that were awesome to visit. We would highly recommend this tour!
    We had a great time and a great tour
    Maegan_D, Mar 2024
    Our tour guide was Rollie, who is informative and funny. He did a great job of telling us all kind of information about the city and the things we were seeing. It was 8 of us in total (us 4 and another family of 4) He made sure to point out things that were not part of the tour to give us information we would not have known otherwise. I would absolutely recommend this tour to others as a great way to see a lot of the city especially if you are here on a cruise and it is one of your stops. Rollie is worth taking this tour with.
    Small group tour
    TRINA_E, Mar 2024
    we were a small group of 4. Our tour guide was Freddie, Really nice & knowledgable. The only negative was sitting in the back we couldn't always hear what he was saying when driving.
    Good tour guide
    Hongzhuan_T, Feb 2024
    Very friendly tour guider Issac, drive us around the destinations with fun history stories on the Nassau. He treated us like treating a large group though that day my wife and I are his only customers.
    Vacation time
    lora_F, Jan 2024
    Enjoying the day with my sister ………….could have been longer The best part was the story about the queens stairs
    Guide was very...
    Al_A, Jan 2024
    Guide was very informative and entertaining. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun time in Nassau.
    Good value for money
    Martin_B, Jan 2024
    A great time with Rollie. This trip gives a good taster of Nassau. We were fortunate that there were only seven of us on the tour. Good value for money in comparison to other trips offering a similar experience.
    A tour that never even started
    Jonathan_R, Jan 2024
    Made a reservation for Monday morning and found out 30 mins before it was canceled. Scheduled to make it for a day later and found out it was canceled on me again. Two consecutive days in a row how can a place be this terrible with planning. The only reason is they gave me a refund without me pressuring them.
    Highly recommended
    Jerry_T, Jan 2024
    The time spent and knowledge of the island’s history is well worth it. Our tour guide from Vikings Rental was a real host!
    Great!!!
    lumbeemom69, Dec 2023
    We really had a great time with our tour guide. It hit all the highlights of the city and gave us an insight on the culture and people. Best tour guide!
    Ok
    Mandy_F, Dec 2023
    9.30am pick up from hotel was actually 10am and paperwork stated to be downtown at 10am so we thought we’d not make it in time but the knowledgeable guide took a different route and gave history of the area. The itinerary was not exactly adhered to. There was 5 in a car and we did not like being cramped in the back of it with no air con. Was not offered bottle of water as stated so asked at first stop.
    Do not book.
    Mary_B, Dec 2023
    The guide was 17 yrs old. Said he was the nephew of the owner. Gave virtually no information/history/etc. Voice didn’t project when he did talk. Driver did give limited info as we drove around. Would not recommend because you may get the same person.
    Not worth the money
    datasha, Dec 2023
    The tour guide was nice but for the price we could have walked or driver to take us around. There’s just as much to do right around the cruise port for much less! Also, driver took us to a restaurant that was expensive and not good!
    Fun for a day!
    Carolyn_A, Nov 2023
    First and foremost, the guide Rollie and his brother were beyond excellent. They explained history and various other information about places we stopped as well as drove past. I would do it again because it was very interesting.
    Unreliable!!
    Jaya_G, Nov 2023
    We had worst experience booking this excursion. First off at the pick up point which was supposedly near the police station there was no one there to receive us. My husband had to call the number couple of times till the driver came to collect us and in we go in the Bus. No water, no WIFi and also no tour guide. The stop points did not follow what was on the website. Will not recommend!!
    The worst tour in Nassau
    Odelia_L, Nov 2023
    Terrible experience. A rip off. Don’t fall for this. Ordered private tour to my group and got a couple added. No guide just a driver dropping us off with no explanation. No bottled water. No WiFi. No nothing. If I just needed a drive from one place to the other I wouldn’t need this tour. Unacceptable
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    We apologize for your unpleasant experience with Viking Tours in Nassau Bahamas. Your driver is the tour guide, water is is not provided at the beginning of the tour as it is a 3 hr tour, we provide water at the Half way point. Your agent misinformed you that it would be private, because your agent booked a bus tour. Again we apologize for your experience and hope you book with us again and have a true Viking Tours experience.
