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.

I found this excursion in TripAdvisor and I wasn't sure if the trip was worthy, but I was completely wrong. My family learned a lot about Bahamas with Archie. We had a great time with him. He was really friendly and patient with us. I highly recommend it.

This was an amazing walking tour! It was just me and a friend and it was tailored to what we asked to see. The guide was a local and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of The Bahamas. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely tour with Marqun. He was very knowledgeable, with the perfect blend of historical facts, governance, notable buildings and the island's wonderful attributes. He brought us to local producers of rum, cigars and chocolate without any pressure to buy. Marvin is very proud of his heritage and the trip to the Art gallery was superb. The eclectic collection of artwork was so colourful, with many original photos from times past.
Thanks Marquin for a tour that really enriched our trip to Nassau/New Providence

This trip did not happen as the tour guide did not turn up at all. After booking the trip I received an email asking to change the start time from 11am to 9am which I agreed to
My husband and I arrived at 8.50 and waited for the guide until 9.15. I checked for messages or a telephone call but there was no communication (I believe the company was Rendezvous)
In the hope someone would be there at 11am we returned to the meeting point but again there was no sign of anyone and no further communication
I am highly disappointed and would request a refund of the booking fee from Tripadvisor

Archie was amazing. We tried booking the night before but didn’t end up getting a confirmation in the morning so thought we were out of luck until I got a message from Archie himself saying he can get us a tour that same day whenever we wanted. So of course we jumped on the opportunity. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and the buildings and had a great sense of humor. I definitely recommend his business. He is a hard working man that loves his job and loves people. He customized our tour to allow us to see and go to the places we wanted. We were very lucky to be the only ones in the group but he would THRIVE in a large group as well. We can’t thank you enough for our experience Archie.
