The BEST Excursion to Take in Nassau! - Tyrone may just be one of the best excursion tour guides our group has ever had. A clear Nassau local, he whisked our small group away to all the best places on the island, including tourist hotspots, a rum distillery, time at Atlantis, and places off the beaten path, like visiting a rum cake factory and trying fresh conch from a local food spot ("Unda-Da-Bridge"). His charm, knowledge of the island, and generosity did NOT go unnoticed (he constantly made sure the group was well taken care of, whether that was buying us wine cooler drinks, accommodating food allergies, or offering us a "taste" of some authentic Nassau rum).
If you want a local's tour of the island of Nassau, THIS is the one to take. Thank you, Tyrone!!

Highly recommend this tour - Nicki was the best tour guide you could have. We were able to get a few rum cakes, were able to tour the chocolate factory and taste the chocolate. We went to the distillery where we had conch fritters and a nice drink. The Queen's stair case was amazing. The pirates museum was fun. We really enjoyed this tour. Thank you Nicki

Amazing tour guides at Tyron Wilson's VIP tours - Karon (Tyron's son) was our guide and we had a blast. He gave us great historical stories as well as how it is today. We got to visit the main highlights of the rum cake factory (yum), Graycliff chocolates and cigars (so cool) as well as john waiting distillery, the Queens steps and pirate museum. Karon was an amazing host providing shots, conch fritters and chocolates as well as all of his local knowledge. We truly enjoyed our day with him as we filled our bellies with great food and drink but also filled our curiosity with lots of local stories and history. Can't say enough good things. If you only have the chance to take one tour, this is it!

Tyrone’s Tours Top them ALL - Tyrone did an amazing job! Made the tour fun and added anything to it we wanted. Extra time was even added to stop at souvenir shop. At the end he even drove us in front of our condo to drop us off. Book with Tyrone!

Small, personable group tour!! - Although finding the location of our tour guide was a little confusing, once we matched up with Nikki we were very happy. She was friendly, informative and willing to show us around Nassau. There were only 5 of us tourists in our group, which was exactly what we prefer, as it is so much more personal! Thank you Nikki!!
