Reviews for Nassau Rum Crawl: Distilleries, a Speakeasy, and Bahamian Cocktails

Cody was a wonderful guide on our Bahamian rum tour! He was knowledgeable, kind and fun. Highly recommend taking this tour with Islandz Tours and ask for Cody!

We did the Rum Runner tour and loved it. The meeting spot is clear on the information provided when we signed up. It was boozy— so buckle up. Shad was the most talented guide I’ve ever had — his ability to tell stories, engage every participant (including a 14yo) & do the accents of relevant players in history was delightful. He learned all our names which demonstrated his ability to make the tour special.

We did the Rum tasting and walking tour. Michael was our guide it was amazing. He is so knowledgeable and fun. We ended the tour in a speak easy and mixed our own drinks. Amazing

Jason was absolutely the best!! His storytelling and vibe was unmatched!! He was hilarious, genuine, kind, and super informative.. I honestly could not have had a better guide. Would def recommend this tour! He knew the city and history as if he lived during the time. You need Jason hands down!! Then the rum was delicious, to top it off!

Cody did an amazing job on the tour, funny and very knowledgeable. It was very educational and fun. Loved the historical part and learning about rum running, pirates, rum making, prohibition, and the history of how the Bahamas came to be. It was raining on the day of our walking tour, they provided ponchos and allowed plenty of time to look around and ask questions. We never felt rushed. Would highly recommend.

We did the Rum Runners Tour - Shad was a great host. He knows a lot about the area and the history of Nassau. The last stop at the speak easy was a nice touch.

We did the John Whiting Rum Tour and explore downtown with our host Shad Fer. Shad was amazing.. had great stories, funny, interesting, different voices and very personable. Definitely book this tour - ask for Shad too! 5 out 5 stars

5 STARZ FOR SHAD’s RUM ISLANDZ TOURS! Shad was an unforgettable host during our rum tour in Nassau. He offered an energetic and decolonial perspective of the history of the Bahamas with both fun facts and fun charisma. Be prepared—Shad’s unrelenting and raw take on Bahamian history is a lot to swallow in the best possible way, but the sheer amount of rum on this tour is even more to swallow!

Shad was a great guide. He was very entertaining the entire time. We enjoyed the stops and the timing of everything given we didn’t want to be in the sun/heat too much. The rum tasting at the end of the tour was excellent. It was a fun way to allow us to cool down and get to know different rum options and get a good buzz🍹

We had a great time on this tour! Jason was our guide. He knew his history. Never realized that prohibition affected the Bahamas so much. The rums were great! And the mixology was fun too. Definitely recommend. Jason made very enjoyable.
