Overview

This two to three hour city tour from RSR Tours and Taxi pairs the main sights of Nassau with tastings of wine, chocolate, rum cake and conch fritters, so you leave with both a sense of the island and something in your stomach. Pickup is included, and WiFi is available on board. The route strings together the Water Tower, downtown Nassau, the Queen's Staircase, Fort Fincastle, Tasty Teas Bahamas, the Atlantis Casino, Bahama Barrels and John Watling's Distillery, with short stops at each.

Reviewers often mention the samples as a highlight, with several calling the free food and drinks a strong point of the day. Admission at John Watling's is included in the tour price; Fort Fincastle entry is not.

It suits visitors who want a broad sweep of the city with a guide narrating the history between stops. The trade off is speed: with this many stops packed into a couple of hours, treat it as an overview rather than a deep visit to any single site.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most out of this tour.

Getting picked up. Pickup is included, but check the live booking page for your exact pickup point. One reviewer mentioned being met at the assigned location on time.
Pace of stops. The tour packs many stops into two to three hours, so expect brief visits rather than deep exploration. Others praised the mix of sights and samples.
Heat and comfort. One reviewer noted the bus was air conditioned, a relief from the heat. Dress for warm weather and plan for short walks at stops such as the Queen's Staircase.
Food and drink. Wine, chocolate, rum cake and conch fritters are sampled on the tour. Tropical drinks and souvenirs are not included, so bring money if you want extras.
Guides and photos. Reviewers repeatedly describe the guides as friendly, knowledgeable and informative, and several mention learning a great deal about the island's history. One reviewer noted great photo opportunities along the way.
Group setting. The tour can carry up to 100 travellers, so expect a group experience rather than a private outing. The listing caps the group at that number, and most travellers can participate according to the operator.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, though pushchairs are fine and infant seats are available. With a maximum of 100 travellers and many stops in two to three hours, the pace is quick and time at each stop is limited. Fort Fincastle admission, tropical drinks and souvenirs cost extra. The tour also depends on good weather and a minimum number of travellers, and it can be cancelled if either condition is not met, with a different date or a full refund offered.
