3.Rum Tastings and Culinary Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 200 reviews · 3 hours · from $98

Walk downtown Nassau with a local guide such as Shad, Jason, Fox, Cody, or Net, tasting five rums, three cocktails, and Bahamian bites. Visit John Watling’s Distillery, hear pirate and Prohibition tales, and finish with a private speakeasy cocktail-making session. The drinks are generous, so eat first.

“Shad was awesome. He was knowledgeable, funny, and courteous about our safety the whole trip. While giving us a history lesson on the way. Rum was amazing, and so was the turtle vodka.
