Lindsey_M, 16-09-2022
Our Tour Guide was the absolute BEST! He kept us entertained and informed the whole time. He was high energy and absolutely hilarious. I would take this tour again just to hangout with him! The tour in itself was great and I felt like we truly got to see the whole island and learn so much about Nassau. I absolutely loved this tour and if I could rate it a 100/10 I would! Definitely take this tour, best bang for your buck!
A Great Way to Experience Nassau Culture and Beauty!

What a great time! Our tour guide Jeremy was so personable and very knowledgeable and gave some wonderful history of the island. We had the best time at John Watling's Rum Factory, and the beauty of the Queen's Steps are not to be missed! We were the only ones on this particular tour, so it was TRULY getting a private cultural tour of Nassau! Highly recommend it!
Not to be missed

Excellent service from beginning to end. Arrived on time and wasted no time making us feel comfortable; offering water, identifying points of interest and answering questions. Jeremy is a friendly, respectful and knowledgeable guide. Appreciated not feeling rushed, allowing for a fully enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.
Thanks for a wonderful tour!

My family completed our tour earlier today and loved it! Jeremy was a fantastic guide - very friendly, knowledgeable, and on time. He gave us plenty of time at each site and ensured we all had a great time! Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a view of Bahamian culture and see some of the most popular tourist sites around Nassau.
Excellent for seeing real Nassau
lanwokeji, 22-11-2022
Jeremy is super friendly, very informative and helpful. We saw all the sights listed and from that air conditioned van. I like to see more of the real local life when I travel and this tour was perfect. Jeremy was also helpful, keeping an eye on us, handling the bustle and excitement of the straw market & rum cake shop, so that we didn’t get lost or trampled. Not that we’re old, of course.. highly recommended and look forward to our next visit, which will begin with this tour!
Enjoyable

Jeremy was great and he took excellent care of us during the tour. The John Watley distillery was a favorite because the history was so interesting and the pina coloadas are the best anywhere. We also loved the rum cake factory and brought some home.
Good day

Great tour. We learned...
Romolo_C, 16-01-2023
Great tour. We learned interesting new things about the Bahamas. Visited sights that we probably wouldn't have seen on our own. Guide was friendly and helpful.
An amazing tour with an amazing tour guide
Damian_M, 10-01-2023
Got picked up by Jeremy from RIO and the tour was amazing from that moment forward. He was so incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We felt incredibly safe with him as our tour guide around the town. Would give 6 stars if we could!
Neat experience
609kristinz, 05-01-2023
It turned out to be Nassaus’s New Years celebration the day we docked at Nassau. We stumbled upon a super high energy parade getting off the ship which was cool to see! While it was neat to see, it made navigating the area complicated and Jeremy did a great job navigating our tour around the closed streets and added traffic. A couple of the typical stops were also closed because of the holiday and Jeremy did a good job of trying to make the tour as fun as possible despite that. Some cool stops….would recommend as a nice way to learn some history and see some cool things!
Short excursion in Nassau
Andrea_T, 04-01-2023
We enjoyed our excursion with Jeremy of Marvelous Tours. He was entertaining and we were able to cover plenty of the main sites in a 3 hour span. I would recommend this tour to friends and family visiting Nassau.
