What to do and see in Nassau, New Providence Island: The Best City Tours

December 8, 2021 Jacquiline Delozier

Nassau teems with Bahamian and British flavor. The capital city of the Bahamas boasts miles of spectacular beaches and stretches of vivid coral reefs perfect for snorkeling. Shop, dine, and sightsee, particularly along busy Bay Street, or if you're a James Bond fan, visit the British Colonial Hotel, which was used as a filming location for two of the Sean Connery-era movies. Visit during the famed Junkanoo Festival to experience a high-energy parade of spectacularly costumed dancers.

We were only on Nassau for a day from our cruise ship and decided to take a tour of the island. We found Shonel and RSR Tours! Had a blast seeing the sites and listening to the interesting history of the island. Shonel was very informative and showed us areas we would not have known about! Since my wife and I were older then the rest of the group(them mid 30's, us mid 60's), she let us sit in the front of the van so we could see better! Thank you Shonel and RSR Tours! Hope to see you next time we are on the island.
