Rum Running - Guide (Jason) was great - funny and knowledgeable. Got way more out of it than just walking and drinking rum. But there was plenty of rum. The guys at the speak easy were great too.

ShadGPT and ALL the rums! - My husband and I had a great time on this tour! Shad was an amazing tour guide and it was just us with him. He knows all the things about Nassau, the run running history, and lots of other interesting facts about all kinds of topics. All of the vendors at the locations we visited were super nice and the drinks were great! If you take this tour be sure to ask for Shad and have Mikey fix your drinks at the speakeasy! Definitely one of our favorite excursions/tours we have ever taken!

Best Nassau Tour - We ended up being the only two on this tour. Jason was amazing and we learned so much. We sampled lots of rum. I think we needed a little more food along the tour to counteract the alcohol. The “hidden location” at the end of the tour was quite a surprise and a perfect ending. Highly recommend!

Rum lovers must do!! - Our tour guide was Jason and he was amazing! Very funny, knowledgeable and full of entertainment. It was raining, liquid sunshine he would say, but it didn’t stop the fun and in fact it didn’t bother us one bit! Please do this tour if you’re a rum lover and enjoy a bit of island history. Hope you’re able to meet Micheal at the speak-easy at the end of the tour ~ he was wonderful too!!! In tree…..two……one………😉🤣 ENJOY!!!
