Lelly our tour guide was knowledgeable and made the experience fun. From the merchants to the local business, chocolates and drinks, it was all well done. My wife and I have done other food tours and this was one of the most enjoyable. Would recommend this experience.

Lelly - our guide - was amazing. She walked with us - sharing tidbits about Nassau as well as giving us insights on the local culture and cuisine - all the while guiding us through a delicious culinary experience. The foods we tasted were top notch, authentic and filling. Really enjoyed the experience and will do this tour again - this time with my wife!

Tour was about 30 minutes longer than advertised mostly waiting on the food to be prepared which ensured it was hot and fresh. Wear good walking shoes. Lots of up and down and uneven surfaces. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Entertaining and thoughtful guide. Knowledgeable of area and pleasant. We greatly enjoyed and would do again. Worth the money, lots of food

Pierre was our tour guide and he was amazing! He gave some history about the food and the area. I appreciated him answering questions. He was very informative and I really loved him as a tour guide! We took this tour with my family, a group of 7, from the Royal Carribean cruise. It was an easy walk to get to the meetup point from the port - less than 10 minute walk. A heed of warning, cars do not wait for pedestrians so walk with caution. It’s not wheelchair friendly. We walked all over and it was a really good experience trying local Bahamian food, chocolate and drinks. I highly recommend it! Ending point is near the port.

Lots of fun and good fun. We had a fun group and our tour guide, Princess, was really good. She was nice, polite, open to any question and very knowledgable. I will say, there’s a decent amount of walking. No big hills but you cover a good bit of area.

This is the second time that we've taken this tour and we were fortunate to have Lisa lead us again. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and certainly made our exploration of Nassau so much better, than if we had explored it on our own. We learned about Nassau's history, saw many fabulous sites, and tasted some delicious samplings over the 3 hour period.

Excellent tour! Mark was super knowledgeable about the history of Nassau and took us to some fun spots along the way. I am certain we would not have learned the same culinary history and wouldn't have walked to the same cool spots without the tour. Mark was very informative and friendly and I highly recommend this tour!

This was an awesome experience! The food was delicious, the drinks were awesome and our guide Princess was excellent! She is very knowledgeable about the history of Nassau and the food/drinks being served. We’ve done more than dozen Nassau excursions over the years and this was our favorite. You won’t be disappointed.
