Taste of Nassau Cuisine and Walking Tour

Loved our tour
December 30, 2023
We started off with an authentic Nassau meal which was delicious. The conch soup was amazing. It was in a restaurant that we might have passed by if we were not on the tour. We continued our tour and tasted chocolate, special drinks and rum cake at various stops. Our tour guide was informative. Definitely a nice way to spend the day.

What a delight this was! Having visited Nassau many times, we debated on what to do. We learned so much about the culture and history of several colonial buildings and sampled many recipes with conch, peas and rice and rum drinks and desserts. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

This was the best excursion that I've ever been on. And I've been on a few! The tour guide Lisa was a GEM!!!!!! The places she took us to had history, very nice people, and the food and drinks were 1000%. This walking tour was definitely the top 3 highlights of the cruise. We plan on taking this again next time we're in Nassau.

It was a wonderful time at the excursion taste of nassau and hearing our guide tell us the wonderful facts about the historical buildings we passed. It was a hot day but not strenuous at all. Loved all the food except the salty soup. Our guide was very informative and made sure we stood together. 100% recommend 👌

HIGHLY recommend! Great food, history and culture
March 06, 2023
Amazing! We had 6 stops, plus stopped at a famous cigar shop. Tour was supposed to last 2 hours - actually went about 3.5, but we were ok with that - it was very engaging. Our tour guide (Bre) was FANTASTIC, kept the pace going, gave us lots of information around the culture & the history of the island & the people, & had a wonderful personality. Food stops were amazing - definitely got a taste of the island. I was most grateful for how she accommodated my food allergy - I was given substitutions & never felt 'cheated' in the experience. Note, a few of these are around alcohol (winery, specialty drink). We were on our feet a lot, but did have times to sit, so heed warning if you have accessibility issues - it's not for anyone unable to walk/stand for long periods of time, or requiring assistance (hills/stairs). PRO TIP: arrive to Rawson Square early & patron the kiosk shops - great finds, & you are supporting local. And if you go on the tour, be sure to tell Bre, "Vell Mudda Sic!"

The meeting place was easy to get to from my ship. My guide was right on time and easy to recognize. The four other people on my tour we’re staying on the island and seem to enjoy the tour as much as I did. Matt gave us great history of all the places we visited as well as how their food related to the area. The tour was well organized we were not rushed but we’re never in a situation where we had to wait long. Any special needs were accommodated at every stop. None of these were places I was likely to have tried on my own and the whole tour seemed to flow together very well with moderate walking between each stop. I highly recommend this tour. tour.

This tour was amazing. It was a drizzling day but we still went and the guide gave us all ponchos. He was very informative of the culture, the history, the food, and even recipes. You could tell he was know in the community as the merchant shop employees all chatted with him and the rest of us. There is some uphill part of the walk but it isn't bad at all. I highly recommend this tour.

This is a great combination of a walking tour, combined with some really awesome Bahamian food. Our guide was great, and gave us a very interesting history of the flavors of the Bahamas, and how they evolved with the various crops, wildlife and seafood on and off the islands. Be prepared to do some walking uphill, though, and some steps, but highly recommended if you're able!

Walking/Food Tour Nassau
March 05, 2022
I have never booked from this company before, but they were reasonably priced and had favorable reviews. They were prompt in sending me my e-ticket and other information. Our tour guide was Lisa, and she was AMAZING. 10/10. If I ever get to come back to Nassau, I would do this same tour over again just because she had the best personality. Lisa kept saying “it’s a vibe”, and my boyfriend and I loved it so much, we have been saying it since we’ve been home (ha ha). I learned a lot about the cuisine in the Bahamas, and she made it so much fun! The walking portion was not bad at all (only had to go up a slight hill), and we got to take a lot of pictures while walking. We tried so many neat foods and cocktails, and it was definitely worth the money. We had a small group of only 6 people, so it made it more intimate. You will not regret booking this tour!

We enjoyed learning about the food and culture surrounding the various Bahamian delicacies and then enjoying them at both inside and outdoor tables. My family and I highly recommend this excursion.

Captain Ron made it fun, interesting and made us forget it rained a few times during the tour. Highly recommend this tour if only for Captian Ron! Five stars and more! Thank your Captain Ron!

Food tour was great. Our guide, captain Ron, was extremely knowledgeable of the island. He was energetic and passionate and shared a lot of info during the tour. We saw many different landmarks and hit some popular local spots, some with food, some with drinks. The first stop is the only full meal though so don’t come expecting to be stuffed. It’s a walking tour so pack lightly and be ready to stop and go. Great way to get a feel for the island, get a few drinks and some local food in, and learn some history

Our group was small (7) which gave us the opportunity to get to know the 2 couples a little over the 3 hours we spent together. Great pace, easy walking, excellent tour guide! Highly Recommend!

After we met our young college age guide, she proceeded to take us on a tasting tour which included a Bahamian lunch, chocolates, a Greek salad, and several other goodies, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. Walking the hills and streets a little difficult for us older folks, but we managed. We also saw some typical buildings including a small hotel and the Government building and gardens.

Two well educated young ladies led the tour, offering cultural insights, architectural, and historical information throughout the tour. Whenever they noticed a participant taking an interest in a tree or building, they offered information without making it feel like a lecture. At the beginning of the tour, they asked it anyone had food allergies. Someone in our group did, so the ladies stepped away momentarily to coordinate alternate dishes at the upcoming food stops. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone, even if you have been to the island before!

April 28, 2016
My husband and I were a little skeptical about signing up for this tour, but decided to go ahead and do it anyways and I must say, that it was the BEST thing we could've done! Our guide, that unfortunately was leaving the company that same weekend, was AWESOME!!! He was so very knowledgeable and very polite. There was a lot of walking but we didn't really notice it because our guide was telling us the history of the many things that we passed along the way, as well as, about the island itself. The locations that we visited were awesome as well. What we thought were going to be just small tastings of food, turned out to be way more because the food portions were way bigger. By the time we reached our final destination, we were full, so that tells you that the portions are not small. I'm so glad that we decided to do this tour instead of any other or just shopping and we would do it again if we were to ever go back.....well worth the money.
