Great value & jam packed experience
Sara_N, 26-09-2022
Mario was our driver. We were visiting from Miami. It was our first time in the Bahamas. He was extremely professional and was a wealth of knowledge. He truly made our first experience amazing. I highly recommend booking this tour, especially if you are there for a few hrs via a cruise…it helps you see everything you want to see.
Great tour

Great tour! We recommend it to anyone who is visiting Nassau for the first time! Mario is a great guide.
Fun in Nassau
TeamRios, 22-08-2022
Fun time in Nassau! Marion showed us around the main parts of the island, giving us historical facts, taking our pictures and providing opportunities for free samples of local rum, rum cake & pinacolada. A lot was packed into our tour with Marion making adjustments based on our requests. It was a lovely break from our resort, Sandals to have some time exploring the island.
Island Tour

We had a great time on the island tour with our guide Mario. We learned a lot about the island and the Bahamian people. Mario had a vast knowledge and shared lots of information. This tour is a most.
Great time

Had the best time. By far my favorite excursion we took on our cruise. Mario was the best tour guide. We went everywhere they advertised. Had a great lunch at Twin brothers. Saw a lot and Mario was a prefect host. Will definitely have friends and family book with him. And I will too if ever in the neighborhood again. Thanks again for a great time.
Best Tour Ever
Barbara_M, 08-12-2022
Isaac was the best tour guide ever. He catered to our every need. He took us to so many amazing places and gave us the best history lesson. If we wanted to skip something then he took us in a different direction.
10/10 for Bahama Papa!
Katy C, 31-01-2023
Bahama Papa is a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. He definitely went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience.
The van is also very clean. It was a great tour even if you have been to the Bahamas multiple times… He takes you to some really neat places that we otherwise would not have seen.
Overall good experience
adriana v, 22-11-2022
Overall good experience!.. Isaac the driver/tour guide was amazing.
From the offered experience we didn´t get the bottle of water nor the Wi-Fi at car, nor were able to stop/sit at the Stir Fry as stated.
