Great tour for the family! - Had a great time with Jeremy as our guide! Teens age 19 and 17 and stayed entertained without checking their phones the whole time haha- He was very knowledgeable and funny, and will book with him again next visit! Very recommended!!!
Viator was very easy to use, and was much less expensive than the excursions found at the resort- will use again!

Perfect visit to the Bahamas - We booked this tour as an excursion from our cruise trip as a way of seeing as much as possible in the short time we had. Thankfully we chose the right tour, as the very knowledgeable, extremely friendly Jeremy showed us around, with numerous facts, jokes, and enough time at each location without any stress, that we feel we got to experience, I'm sure, only a small portion of the beauty the island offers. Air conditioned van was super on a warm day, and Jeremy was kindly offering us chilled beverages onboard if needed also. We couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended
