Best guide in town - I went with my mother, and our guide was AMAZING. She was wonderful, knew a lot of history, and was friendly. The tour is full of history and iconic places that you don't want to miss, especially if you are in Nassau for a short time.

Excellent Informative Tour - True was an exceptional guide and her historical walking tour of Nassau truly brought the city to life. I was extremely impressed by her knowledge and learned so much about The Bahamas, more than I anticipated. I found the tour to be very intimate which allowed for one on one interactions with the guide and ample opportunities to ask questions. Further to this, walking through the bustling downtown area allowed us to fully absorb the vibrancy and culture of the city. From learning about the medicinal properties of trees and bush medicine while on our walk to getting a grasp of piracy, the colonial history of the country and its present day culture and colloquialisms, I was amazed. My favorite part was walking through the Queens Staircase, it was stunning and the history behind it will blow your mind. I give this tour a 10/10 and endorse Ultimate Tours as your tour of choice, you won't regret it!

Leisure walking tour with rich history! - Tru was an excellent tour guide. She is a native Bahamian and loves to share the rich history of her culture with others. She places safety first to ensure you watch your step as you walk throughout the city. She's inquisitive to hear all of your questions and is very knowledgeable about a lot of topics. This is a great way to see the city and learn about the history, especially if it's your first time to the island!

Great walking tour in downtown Nassau - We were very lucky to be the only ones on the tour...we felt like vip's! True (not sure of spelling) was very knowledgeable and friendly. She even brought us cold water bottles which was very thoughtful. The tour was interesting and we learned a lot about the local history. The best part is that we went down the Queen's Stairway instead of up...another thoughtful tidbit. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody. Thanks True!

Nothing special. - OK place just to get out of a cruise ship for a couple hours and maybe get something to drink that’s about it. A bunch of desperate people trying to sell you garbage and drugs.
