Itinerary
Fort Montagu
Constructed in 1741 of local limestone, Fort Montagu is the oldest fort still standing on the island of New Providence. It is at the eastern end of Nassau Harbour along the waterfront.
15 minutes
Government House (Pass By)
Government House, located on a 10 acre estate, stands on Mount Fitzwilliam and is the official residence of the Governor General of The Bahamas.
It dates back to 1801 and this imposing pink and white building on Duke Street is an excellent example of the mingling of Bahamian British and American Colonial architecture.
The graceful columns and broad, circular driveway recall the styles of Virginia and the Carolinas.
In front of the building is the statue of Christopher Columbus. This statue was imported from London in 1830 by Governor James Carmichael Smythe in honor of Columbus Landfall at San Salvador in 1492.
The Bahamas Rum Cake Factory
The Bahamas Rum Cake Factory story begins in the heart of downtown Nassau, the Bahamas in the year 2000. George Bates, originally from the United Kingdom founded a recipe that would inspire his “Original” Rum Cake. Everyone loved his recipe so much that he decided to open a small Rum Cake shop, a store that has since then grown into the most favorite brand of Rum Cake in The Bahamas. Today, the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory still sits in the same location that it started out at, and has created a culture so irresistibly delicious that in 2014 it was recognized by the state as the Official Rum Cake of The Bahamas. Loaded with our top-secret ingredients, baked to perfection, and gently marinated in our signature brand of Ole Nassau Bahamian Rum, our cakes have become not just a dessert, but also an important part of a new lifestyle for both Bahamians and tourists.
15 minutes
Queen's Staircase
The Queen's Staircase, commonly referred to as the 66 steps, is a major landmark that is located in the Fort Fincastle Historic Complex in Nassau. It was hewn out of solid limestone rock by slaves between 1793 and 1794 and it is said that it provided a direct route from Fort Fincastle to Nassau City. These steps were later named in honor of Queen Victoria, who reigned in Britain for 64 years from 1837 to 1901.
25 minutes
Graycliff Chocolatier
Enjoy a tour of Graycliff Chocolatier, a tasty destination located at the Graycliff Hotel. Learn how cacao beans are processed to create delightful chocolate concoctions and create your own sweet masterpiece with ingredients like mango, lime, sweet-tomato basil, and bacon.
15 minutes
John Watling's Distillery
John Watling’s Distillery home to JOHN WATLING’S rum, the “Spirit of The Bahamas” is the next stop in our tours located in the Buena Vista Estate, in Downtown Nassau. The historic Estate, founded in 1789 and overlooking the harbor, is the site where Bahamians hand-craft JOHN WATLING’S small-batch rums.
30 minutes
Bay Street
Tasting and sampling at the New Duff, for every Bahamian, guava duff is synonymous with the word dessert. Ever since the first Bahamian guava duff was made, there have been countless reimaginings and methods to make this Bahamian treat. Reminiscent of the first duffs ever made by the strong hands of older Bahamian women in a post-slavery era, The New Duff captures the texture and taste of the original duff, boiled in a pillowcase and served with a silky and sweet guava-based sauce.
15 minutes
Arawak Cay
Arawak Cay offers the authentic atmosphere of the Bahamian Fish Fry with vendors selling made to order conch salad, fried fish and other Bahamian dishes. Arawak Cay was artificially built from the sand when the harbour was dredged in 1969.
There is a police station, a storytelling porch for special events, an old Bahamian rock oven, an open stage and an open grassy area with seating for the audience where concerts and other productions are held.
Sunday nights are when the majority of locals can be seen at Arawak Cay or Fish Fry as the locals would say.

Published on Dec, 2024
Paula was amazing. Had such a great tour. The Rum Distillery was probably my favorite. Great history, and drinks!
Delano us the best.
Published on Dec, 2024
Our tour guide, Delano is the best. We were the only 2 on the excursion, and he customized the itinerary to better suit our needs. He had a vast knowledge of Nassau's history. The food tastings and lunch were excellent and you would not leave hungry. One of the best excursions!
Must do when in the Bahamas!!
