Unexpected Yet Amazing

I didn't know what to expect but this was an amazing day. Donald was so delightful. He went out of his way to make sure we saw everything. Dianna was sweet and cook a great meal that we enjoyed overlooking the ocean. It is a casual, laid back day but full of interesting things to learn. I'd recommend this to anyone heading to Freeport.

Not you typical tour

The experience was honestly not like I expected but better. My mother and I went on a cruise and wanted to get a locals perspective on the island. Donald was able to give us so much knowledge about the island. He drove us all over after we had an amazing home cooked lunch. The knowledge I gained about Freeport and the Bahamas as a whole I would not have been able to gain if he wouldn’t have offered this tour. I highly recommend booking if you plan to be in Freeport and want want something different. He shows you the real Freeport not to scare you but to educate you. Donald knows everyone and everyone knows him. People spoke to him time and time again making us feel completely comfortable in our surroundings. Again if you are looking for a great lunch and to see the island from a locals standpoint this is the way to go.

Awesome!

We had an amazing time! Donald knew some much about the island and was passionate about the culture. He showed us what it was really like for the local people. He drove us to all over the island, we saw saw hurricane ravaged buildings, resorts and homes, but we also saw the resilience of the people. He taught us about Bush medicine and showed us the true beauty of the island. The lunch they served was sooo good, Chef Princess Diana is an amazing cook. And the meal was served on the beach with amazing views. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who plans on visiting the island.

Check this out!

This a great way to truely experience the island! Donald is knowledgeable about all things in Bahamian culture. We had full transport to/from our pickup location, and a great tour of the island with Donald answering all of our questions. We had the best conch fritters since arriving and the lunch that was prepared for us was absolutely delicious! This is a must if you enjoy experiencing true Bahama culture!

A unique experience for people who want to know .

An interesting real look into the lives of past and present families who love their island and want others to understand and appreciate the culture and customs. Donald and his wife made us feel so welcome and it was the best meal we had so far! It was an honor to spend time with them .
