Cruise family celebrating an Islandz Tour - Experienced cruisers who have done the pigs & dolphins, are highly recommending this guided walking tour! From the cruise port, we walked to the meeting point, John Watling's Distillery. Our local tour guide, Fox, was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. We learned historical facts, and fun trivia too while enjoying Nassau’s historic attractions and beautiful outdoor weather! The indoor space for the rum flights was private & air conditioned-much more than we expected! We learned how rum is aged and yes, we enjoyed every flavorful drop! This tour is so highly recommended because it indeed provides a Bahamian cultural experience! Enjoy!

Super Fun and Well Worth the Money - This is a great three hour tour. It starts at the John Watling Distillery with a full Skylarking cocktail and appetizer at the Distillery. From there we walked to a moonshine store for shots, a winery for samples, then down to a speakeasy for the real fun - a Bahama Mama (full size), a rum flight where we tasted each version one by one, then culminating with mixing our own Rum Runner with a bite of rum cake. It was a little walking, some good history, plenty of restrooms, punctuated by air conditioning and ending in a truly fun experience. Fox, our tour guide, was super. Recommend this for a fun three hours in Nassau. Worth every dollar.

John Watlings Distillery tour - Superb - This is my 2nd tour booked through Viator. The Watlings Distillery tour was great and our Guide 'Fox' was full of historical information about the property, John Watlings and the local lore of Nassau. He kept the tour moving and was a gracious host, kept the group together, answered everyone's questions and pointed out all of the businesses and points of interest during our walk. Fox was an EXCELLENT guide and I would surely recommend to friends & family to do the John Watling distillery tour when they visit Nassau and to book with Viator to get the best tour prices and professional tour guides.
