See More on a Bike Tour - This tour was the high point of our stay on Nassau. It was just my brother and me on the tour. Richie was a fantastic guide; he added a lot of personality to his sightseeing narrative. You could tell it was not a memorized speech. He also took a lot of pictures for us; it was nice not to have to do the dreaded selfie. We ended up visiting many attractions that we would have never seen on our own. The streets are tight and at times you are on a busy road, therefore, you do need to know how to ride a bike pretty well. We stopped for ice cream and chocolate, super yummy. We also stopped at the Rum Distillery. There is a very short tour and then you can buy a rum drink, also super yummy. There is an opportunity to stop at the Fish Fry to eat. We pedaled past this area, but we chose not to stop. Our tour would have been the full 4 hours, but because we chose to skip eating, we were done in 3 hours. The woman signing us in at the beginning of the tour does ask if you are on the cruise ship. They make sure you will be back in time. I would recommend this tour. The bikes were easy to manage, and the stops were very informative. Richie is a delightful guide and very accommodating.

For experienced and confident riders only! - First off, I would only recommend this bicycle tour for experienced and confident riders, those who have the ability to cycle near traffic, to frequently stop and start riding and to navigate tight spaces. Although the pace was slow, a number of riders in my group demonstrated difficulty with the ride, one being injured (smashed elbow into a wall on a tight blind curve) and another experiencing a flat tire (the tour leader "Richie" had no resources to address either issue - perhaps a first aid kit and tire repair supplies should be brought along by the leader, as they were on a previous day's bike tour with another company on Grand Bahama Island?). Additionally, some introductory bicycle signal instruction may have been beneficial for the safety of the group. I felt confident in my own abilities, but spent the majority of the tour concerned about the safety of the other riders. That being said, Richie did a nice job with providing information about the various places we visited and he did his best in trying to cater to the wishes of the group.
