This waws a great tour of parts of the Island. I recommend it to all. It was a great opportunity to see the diverse areas of the island and the unique culture of the people.

Trip was quite disappointing. First bus had broken down air-conditioning and tour management told the driver we'd have to live with it as no replacements were available. A near revolt by the passengers convinved management to suddenly discover a replacement bus and driver were available after all. The air-conditioning on the replacement wasn't much better than on the first bus.

The tour was very informative and a pleasant way to get to know the Nassau area.

This was an interesting tour, and we had a very interesting guide during my tour. The bus was a little bit old. The tour does not stop at Atlantis Hotel, but separate tours of Atlantis can be bought. The bus can leave you downtown at the end of the tour.

When visiting Fort Fincastle and Fort Charlotte, I think that more time should be allotted for shopping at the various venders that are at those sites. The items that they displayed certainly looked to be of good quality and I'm sure the prices were better than in Nassau proper. Also, time should be allotted for going down the Queen's Staircase. As it was, we just saw it from the top. No time is allowed for a stop at the straw market. ur guide was certainly informative and extremely courteous and I would highly recommend him however, I believe that they need to allow more time on this tour. _br /_ Also, they need to be more careful about where they tell their driver to pick up people for the tour. My instructions were to wait at the security exit of the dock since I was coming off of a cruise ship the tour guide was told to pick me up at the Hilton - 5 blocks away. I had to get the Bahamian tourism people at the dock to intervene for me and have him come to pick me up where my voucher stated since the woman wanted me to travel the extra 5 blocks to meet at the Hilton. Like I said, I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had - I don't know if I would recommend the company.

We booked this trip online months in advance and the transaction was smooth. I printed my voucher and receipt, although we would be arriving by boat and we were unable to confirm one day in advance as requested. When we arrived for our tour, they told us we were not on the list. After a very upsetting discussion with the tour company they refused us. As we were walking out of the hotel they called us back and allow us to join the tour. We were still upset so we did not get to really enjoy our tour. If you cannot call a day in advance to confirm, I would not recommend this tour company.
