About this experience

Hi guys it's Archie here!

We are a 2 guide team, Archie & Petura. Come be a local for a day, learn how we live, come listen to our stories. Our tours start at Parliament square, next to Queen Victoria's statue, which is directly behind the cruise terminal. We will have a sign.

We have 2 tours to choose from, a history-luxury-culture tour and a food tour. Our history tour visits locations like the luxurious Graycliff resort where clients will get the full Bahamas experience. What makes the food tour different than most is that it includes a Bahamian breakfast option and you select your own meal from the restaurant menu unlike other tours with preset menus. You've probably never had fish for breakfast so try our tour now! Unlike other tours, you control how much you spend as food cost is not included in admission. Also, kid admission is free. The food tour is specially curated for guests, only the best restaurants are chosen. We live here, so we know the best stops, no worries!
