What can I say wow. Just want was needed from a tour. We were here on a cruise with a 13 yr old and a 11 yr old. They really liked the tour. Took us to places we would not have seen without this tour. The value is amazing. There were just 4 of us with the tour guide and he was fab. Answered all our questions gave us some history. Nibbles on the way round. Perfect few hours guided tour thanks. Wes and family.

Archie was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and generous with his time on our tour. I booked this tour for my girlfriend and I during our cruise visit but wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Archie was waiting for us at Parliament Square (a block away from the cruise terminal) with a sign and a big smile. He immediately made us feel welcome and dove into the rich history of the Bahamas. We learned that over 700 islands make up the Bahamas as Archie began with an overview of the Bahamian government system. Throughout our walking tour that lasted over two hours, we were able to ask Archie seemingly endless questions and he had an answer for every one. To see a city through the eyes of someone who lives and grew up there is a priceless experience, and Archie is understandably proud of his country and heritage. We visited a beautiful church, a famous hotel with it’s handmade cigar shop, a rum distillery (with local snacks), an impressive art museum and more. Afterwards we acknowledged that we would never have seen so much or learned as much about Nassau or the Bahamas if it hadn’t been for Archie. The entire tour was filled with interesting anecdotes, cultural history, and information about the modern Bahamas. The experience made our day and even our trip - we couldn’t stop talking about it after the fact. We were so inspired we continued our research aboard the ship in the following days. Despite all the information and insights, Archie charges an almost ludicrously affordable rate for his tour - I would happily pay 5x as much for a walking tour of this quality. I couldn’t recommend Archie’s tour highly enough and I’d go as far as saying, you’d be missing out if you visit the Bahamas without booking Archie - I see a bright future for him in the Bahamas tourism industry. It was a pleasure spending a couple hours in his company.
