Nassau is small enough to walk and hilly enough that you will want a seat by noon. These are the 15 best sightseeing tours in the city: open jeeps and ATVs past Fort Charlotte and Cable Beach, air-conditioned buses that stop at the Queen’s Staircase, and walking loops of the old town. Prices, durations and pickup details are below.

“The Pirate Tour of Nassau was outstanding! We had Pirate Calico aboard the Ghost vessel. Calico was dressed the part but what was more impressive was his amazing information and history about the island and the five stops we made. We had plenty of opportunities to get out and stretch our legs as well as sample island treats along the way. My favorite was seeing the Graycliffe cigar room and tasing the Pina coladas at a rum factory. Calico got us back in time to board our ship and we all agreed it was fantastic tour.”

“Finding my tour guide was slightly confusing but he found us as was very friendly. We had a private 3 hr. tour very similar to having a private Uber or Lift driver tour you around and give a history lesson as he drives. I enjoyed it a great deal. Isaac was our driver. He was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. His driving did scare me a few times but I believe it was more of a cultural difference in the was people drive there.”

“Our journey began with the friendly check in for the venture to Sandy Toes. We enjoyed a fun and wet journey with Big Sexy as a tour narrator and learned about the homes belonging to celebrities.

“Friendly guides, good sites but know this is a city tour with not a lot of info shared and slow speeds in lots of traffic. At times it was confusing trying to understand the guides driving hand signals. Got to see the city highlites and they were fine.
