Overview

Four hours and a soundtrack of reggae on the bus: this Bahtours shore excursion from Parliament Square packs cigars, chocolate, rum, rum cake and beach time into one loop of New Providence. Drinks are included throughout, and reviewers repeatedly say the guides keep the cups topped up, with one describing an unofficial rule of no empty cups. One reviewer calls it a boozy trip and advises coming fed and hydrated.

The route begins in front of the Queen Victoria statue on Bay Street, where a guide in a teal Bahtours shirt collects the group. From there it moves through the Graycliff Cigar Company and Graycliff Chocolatier, on to John Watling's Distillery, out to Cable Beach, then to The Bahamas Rum Cake Factory and Bahama Barrels before returning along Cable Beach to the start point. Each stop runs about 30 minutes, and admission is included at each stop, with entry to the rum cake factory listed as free.

It suits cruise passengers and other visitors who want a structured, sociable half day with alcohol included and no logistics to arrange. The group can run up to 33 travellers, so expect a party-bus feel rather than an intimate tasting. Travellers who do not drink, or who need step-free access, should look elsewhere, since the listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from hydration to where you stand at the start.

Eat and hydrate first. One reviewer warns that this is a boozy trip and recommends drinking water and eating before boarding. Alcoholic beverages are included and the pours are described as generous, so pace yourself across the day's stops.
Confirm the meeting point. Hotel pickup is not included. The meeting point is Parliament Square on Bay Street, in front of the Queen Victoria statue, and one reviewer reported confusion after a pickup spot changed, so double-check the details on the booking page before you disembark.
Group party feel. The tour runs with up to 33 travellers. One reviewer described meeting people who became friends for the day, and reviews generally point to a lively crowd with reggae on the bus and guides leading the fun rather than a quiet tasting.
Beach gear provided. Snorkels, inflatables and boogie boards are included, which matters for the Cable Beach stops. Bring a suit and towel if you plan to get in the water.
Watch the clock. The tour lasts 4 hours from an 11:00 start. One cruise passenger found the timing tight against their ship's departure, so know your all-aboard time before you book.
Bring tip money. Gratuities are not included in the price. Multiple reviewers praise the guides warmly.

Common issues. The listing caps the group at 33 travellers and states the tour is not wheelchair accessible, which rules it out for some visitors. Hotel pickup and gratuities are excluded. One reviewer reported a delayed start while waiting for late arrivals and a slow, split-bill lunch stop, and the same reviewer noted not getting to see a stop they had expected. The operator requires a minimum number of travellers and good weather; if either fails, you are offered a different date or a full refund. One reviewer also noted the bus music leaned toward soca as much as reggae.
