“Pinky our tour guide was so much fun! She taught us lots about the history of the Bahamas and the places we went. She also went out of the way of the normal tour to show us the wall that was used for segregation until 1973. She was such a delight and really made this tour worth it! We were stuffed after all our tasters, conch fritters and lunch that was provided at the John Watling’s distillery at the end of the tour. This was a great tour and definitely not to be missed!”
