  • 5Fun tour during your visit!

    I booked this tour solo and Karon was an amazing host! I enjoyed visiting all the sights, and he shared some great background information about each stop and the community here. Highly recommend this tour for people looking to explore the area.

  • 5Great Tour

    Nicki was fantastic. She tailored our tour where we are not drinkers she took us to a homophathic place. Her knowledge of the island and its history is amazing. I messed up on the date and they notified me in advance so I could change it to the right date. Customer Service all the way.

  • 5Great tour from a local business.

    Really great time. Our tour guide was Nikki, and she was wonderful. She was a local, so she knew the people who worked at each location and got us in and out smoothly. We could take as little or as long as we wanted, and she provided a wealth of information. We highly recommend!

About Nassau

Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas, a pastel-painted harbour town on New Providence Island with old forts, a pirate past and a straw market.

Nassau lies on the north coast of New Providence, facing Paradise Island across a sheltered harbour. In the early 1700s the settlement was a haven for pirates, a period retold in its museums, and it later became the seat of British colonial government. Pink-and-white government buildings stand around Parliament Square, and Bay Street, the main shopping street, runs beside the Straw Market where baskets and hats are woven and sold.

Top-ranked sights in Nassau: Rose Island, Queen's Staircase, Government House.
