Begin the tour with driving through the historic city of Nassau with the first stop (approximately 15 minutes) at the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory. The factory produces several scrumptious flavors of rum cake like, pina colada, banana and chocolate. Free samples available at this stop.
The Queen's Staircase was Carved out of solid limestone in the late 18th century, this 102-foot staircase is a must-see attraction. Climb the 65 steps to the top of Bennet's Hill the highest point in Nassau and access Fort Fincastle built in 1793 by Lord Dunmore. Guests not able to climb the staircase can stay on board and be driven to the top. At the top you will find a mini market with authentic handmade goods at bargain prices.
This is a 30 minutes stop. Ready for a sweet treat? you will stop at the Graycliff Chocolate Factory for about 20 minutes to see how this famous chocolate is made and sample some of the 17 different flavors.
The John Watlings Distillery, a local producer of rum where you will have a chance to sample one of the best tasting Pina Colada on the planet
The Pirates Museum this interactive pirate attraction in the heart of downtown Nassau transports you to the year 1716 where pirates ruled the Caribbean. (Admission not included)
Absolutely fantastic experience - Nikki was an awesome tour guide who was able to give us the history and show us the cultural aspects of the Bahamas that we wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the Bahamas.
Great tour guide very informative. Very efficient and informed on the history and lifestyle of the island.
Awesome! Just Awesome , service and nothing but fun time, with historical data. Just Aaaaaawsome, Nikki. Thank you! Winston, Pearl and Christian.
It was excellent. It was amazing to see Bahamas out of the hotel. Nikki made sure she captured all of our experiences.
Was very enjoyable. Tyrone was an informative tour guide. There are lots of samples and a behind the scenes look at a chocolate factory.
Hands down, the BEST tour I've ever done! Starting with the ease of booking! Mr. Tyrone personally took my call, gave me peace of mind that his company would make my family's Bahamian vacation one to remember, in a great way, lol! And boy did they deliver! EXCEPTIONAL communication, promptness, and the ability to make us feel at home on the island. SHOUT out to our tour guide Nikki, who is absolutely adorable and funny and our driver Jerry, so cool! These two hosted my family of 18 like the pro's that they are! I wish I could leave more than 5 stars! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST IN NASSAU!
We truly enjoyed our excursion! We had an adult, a kid and a senior and everyone enjoyed themselves! So many favorite parts I can't name just 1! The rum cakes were delicious, the chocolate factory had amazing chocolate and shakes, and the distillery also had a delicious pina colada! Truly enjoyed learning the history of the Bahamas! Karon was super knowledgeable and entertaining- he was great! Definitely recommended!
She is very educated about the island and will make sure you have a good time! I will definitely recommend this tour!
Tyrone may just be one of the best excursion tour guides our group has ever had. A clear Nassau local, he whisked our small group away to all the best places on the island, including tourist hotspots, a rum distillery, time at Atlantis, and places off the beaten path, like visiting a rum cake factory and trying fresh conch from a local food spot ("Unda-Da-Bridge"). His charm, knowledge of the island, and generosity did NOT go unnoticed (he constantly made sure the group was well taken care of, whether that was buying us wine cooler drinks, accommodating food allergies, or offering us a "taste" of some authentic Nassau rum). If you want a local's tour of the island of Nassau, THIS is the one to take. Thank you, Tyrone!!
It was a very wonderful time our tour guide treated us very well and was very knowledgeable about the island. I highly recommend it
Nicki was the best tour guide you could have. We were able to get a few rum cakes, were able to tour the chocolate factory and taste the chocolate. We went to the distillery where we had conch fritters and a nice drink. The Queen's stair case was amazing. The pirates museum was fun. We really enjoyed this tour. Thank you Nicki
Karon (Tyron's son) was our guide and we had a blast. He gave us great historical stories as well as how it is today. We got to visit the main highlights of the rum cake factory (yum), Graycliff chocolates and cigars (so cool) as well as john waiting distillery, the Queens steps and pirate museum. Karon was an amazing host providing shots, conch fritters and chocolates as well as all of his local knowledge. We truly enjoyed our day with him as we filled our bellies with great food and drink but also filled our curiosity with lots of local stories and history. Can't say enough good things. If you only have the chance to take one tour, this is it!
Nikki was a wonderful tour guide. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience while learning the history of the island. We have a newfound love of the island and we will be coming back to Tyrone’s again! Thank you so much for all you do
Tyrone did an amazing job! Made the tour fun and added anything to it we wanted. Extra time was even added to stop at souvenir shop. At the end he even drove us in front of our condo to drop us off. Book with Tyrone!
This was one of the highlights of our trip! Nikki was awesome! I had my 89 year old mother with us and Nikki was so kind and patient. Nikki had a wealth of knowledge and made us feel like family. Definitely take this tour, it is well worth it! Thank you Nikki for making our trip so memorable! You are the best!
Had a wonderful time on the tour. Nekeya was an awesome tour guide!! She is so knowledgeable and personable which made the trip so much fun. This is my second time going with this tour company and they do not disappoint.
Nikki was amazing and brutally honest with everything. Best tour and guide we all loved the experience and the history about Nassau. Amazing if we ever come back to Nassau we will book with them again and ask for Nikki
Although finding the location of our tour guide was a little confusing, once we matched up with Nikki we were very happy. She was friendly, informative and willing to show us around Nassau. There were only 5 of us tourists in our group, which was exactly what we prefer, as it is so much more personal! Thank you Nikki!!
Not signing up for an excursion from our cruise was the best thing. We met Tyrone right outside the cruise terminal and was one of the best times we had on our cruise. Tyrones knowledge of the island and history of the Bahama's made our tour great.
Loved our tour guide. Lots of history about Nassau. Liked all the stops on tour. Would recommend this tour. Felt safe
A tour of the main sites of Nassau, along with a lot of history and commentary. The fairly new van was nice and roomy.
Excellent and insightful local information. Was able to make a personal detour to get a gift that worked out well. It was a highlight of our trip.
Excellent tour and tour guide. The tour guide had very good knowledge of the land history. She narrated the history and places in a very entertaining way and she was very friendly. I will highly recommend this tour
The whole family enjoyed our tour. We had a lot of fun joking around with Nikki (Nekeya) as she drove us around Nassau and walked with us through various points of interest. Her love for history was obvious and it was delivered in a conversational manner rather than feeling like some boring lecture. You could also tell she loves and admires her father (Tyrone) and I suspect she'll happily keep carrying on in his footsteps.
This tour is fantastic! Nikki our tour guide was so knowledgeable and provided incredible historical information about this beautiful island! Nikki was able to make us feel comfortable and like VIPs to all the attractions we went to!
This is the BEST tour you could ever want. Nikki did an amazing tour for us, she is super knowledgeable about everything Bahama. She went above and beyond! We saw the real Bahamas and it's amazing people. What a great time we had! Don't miss this tour. Top notch 100%. Thank you, Nikki so much. You made our short visit so enjoyable!!
Great service, great family owned business and yery professional. When we go back again to the Bahamas we will use his services again couldn't recommend him enough. Thanks Tyrone Wilson's V.I.P. Taxi & Tour services we appreciate you and your daughter Nikki.
My husband and myself have been to Nassau 7 times and we always do the same things. This trip was different, we met a very nice man named Tyrone outside the straw market. He approached us and talked to us about his tour and also answered a few questions we had. At no point in the conversation did we feel pressured to go with him, this was something that was totally different with others. Tyrone took us chocolate tasting, we tried rum cakes, looked around Atlantis, went to the beach, shopping he gave us so much more about the island and the experience that we had was priceless!!! We were looking for a street painter and did not know his name… Tyrone took us passes a few that he thought it could be and WE FOUND him ( his name is James and he is equally amazing for street painting ) We will 💯% use Tyrone on our next trip in February!!! Tyrone thank you for be fun, knowledgeable and professional!! Best wishes to you and your family! Kelly and John Lizanich!!
This tour is nothing short of amazing! Nikki is a wonderful tour guide!! She is very knowledgeable about Bahamian culture and history and is such an exceptional person. We recommend 1000%!
super professional, we had a blast.... my family love it. if you want to have great time in Bahamas, I fully recommend his services. definitely if we come again will hire his services again.
Tyrone made our stop at nassau so good Tyrone knows his stuff (and steps) thank you so much Tyrone for a great tour AUGH!
Tyrone is the best, showed us all the local places that you wouldn’t see without taking the tour. Everything was amazing, all the stops. It’s hard to pick just one out of them.
My wife and I went out on the morning tour with Tyrone and his daughter and couldn't have been more pleased. They were both very personable and informative. I'd have to say, it was a highlight of our vacation there.
The historical knowledge about the island was my absolute favorite part! All the local favorite stops and taste samples of wine, rum, and chocolate were a very close second! Tyrone was very friendly and helpful! We had an awesome time on our family reunion tour! Job WELL DONE!!
I recommend using Tyrone Wilson's V.I.P Taxi & Tour Services. The driver me and my family had was excellent! He took us to the important places and showed us everything in details.
Tyrone is a walking encyclopedia, an excellent driver and host, a hustler and a businessman. I highly recommend his services.
As we were exiting the ship in Nassau Tyrone caught our attention and told us about his tours we booked a half day. There were six of us, all wanting to see different things Tyrone did not disappoint. He gave us a wonderful tour of the city in a very comfortable, air conditioned van. Some of wanted to see Atlantis so Tyrone took us there and narrated about the city and sights as we drove. We visited Atlantis for about 30 minutes while Tyrone kept the van cool for us. Then he took us to Mckenzies for some fresh conch salad. The view was amazing Onc stingrays swimming right off the pier McKenzie himself made our conch fresh out of the shell. Then we were on our way to have rum cake and the local beer (Kalik) my daughter is not a big beer drinker and he even found a mango flavored Kalik that she loved. After this he took us to a chocolate shop that sold hand made chocolates. They were so good we even left with some. After some more sightseeing we were on our way to a local rum distillery. We also took some of that home. Tyrone’s charm and personality made the tour that much better. As he took us back to the port we were wishing we had booked the entire day. We cannot wait to go back and see Tyrone again. This family run busy is by far better than any other. I would highly recommend them.
Tyrone loves his town. He knows the history and the people. His tour was one of the best we have been on.
We organized an afternoon tour with Tyrone hoping to learn more about the Bahamas culture and to see the highlights. Tyrone immediately greeted us with a smile and a great attitude. He was extremely knowledgeable, we learned more during this tour than we did the entire time we were staying on the island for vacation. We learned everything, from Bahamian medicine, to authentic food and drink, we learned about the people and country in depth. This was an amazing tour that you won’t regret! It was truly something you cannot experience elsewhere or just by wandering into town. Tyrone organized some incredible stops and he curated a true unique and authentic Bahamian experience! We highly recommend you book this tour, and if you’re on the fence trust me you won’t regret it it! It was better than we could have ever imagined!!
This was the best tour we took while we were in Nassau hands down. Tyrone was amazing. He tailored the tour towards us and was an excellent tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour.
Tyrone, was our personal photographer and tour guy..lol he was such a great tour person, very kind/polite and very knowledgeable with the history, definitely recommend him for sightseeing out of the resort.
The best city tour operator we have ever used. Tyrone took us to all kinds of local spots that probably would have been missed by another company. His service was above and beyond. We had a great time with him. Thanks Tyrone. Pat and Ted Cox
Tyronne was the best!! Most accommodating and informative! We didn’t go in a big group and he was really nice enough to schedule our own private time due to covid. The Rum cake was my favorite part, he is not lying when he says it’s the best!!
Very comprehensive tour covering the tourist spots and mostly the native culture. You get a good feel for Nassau!
Very caring people,my son was on a wheelchair he was so helpful, in getting us to tour the island. He help getting him into the van and i think he gave up passengers to accommodate us,really nice people.
My husband and I enjoyed this tour very much! Karon, our driver, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Nassau and the surrounding areas. We got to see a lot of places in a short amount of time; Karon made the most of our time. He also gave us a great lunch recommendation for after the tour. I definitely recommend this tour, and Karon!
Being only $30.00 for a tour around the islands, boy was I surprised at all the places he took us to, we even got out at several points of interest to take pictures, and take in everything. Tyrone is an excellent tour guide and storyteller he was very exciting and lots of fun! the van was very roomie and comfortable and when ever I visit again I will be looking for tyrone! Thanks Again Tyrone Wilson you were awesome!!!
This trip was great for discovering the local factories and breweries. We visited the rum cake factory, the cloister at Paradise Island, the Queens staircase, the chocolate factory, the John Watling destillery and the Pirates museum. All great places that I probably wouldn’t visit if not for this trip.
Queen Bee is an excellent tour guide and story teller. Driving around in a mini bus took us away from the busy downtown area and showed us other interesting parts of the city. We had great company and met folks from Carib and N-America. Great cultural experience.
The tour guide, Tashanna Wilson, was bright and lovely. She made learning about the island both engaging and fun! The driver, Jerry, was excellent. I learned so much. If you pay attention, you can win prizes at the end of the tour!
