Christa did a great tour around Nassau. Although it was raining the first part of the walking tour she compensated it with a nice charisma, charm and a lot of competence. She provides interesting information and was always open for questions and provided good answers. We loved her company and style of explaining the history of the Bahamas, Nassau and mixed with personal stories, heritage and a fun facts! Good Job! We really appreciate her tour and can recommend it! Thanks for the good tour!

My teenage son and I had a great time getting to know Nassau a lot better with Christa's help. We've been there many times on cruise ships but never learned more than the basics about it. She told us a lot of the history and cool/important sites, but also told us about her history and told us unusual/off the beaten track info too. We had a great time and can't recommend her tour highly enough.
