Simply Dave Nassau Tours

There's a reason local guide services often beat big tour companies on reviews: the personal connection. Simply Dave Nassau Tours offers exactly that — a knowledgeable Nassau local who knows the island well and can adapt to what your family actually wants from their day.

Based at Woodes Rodgers Wharf on Nassau's waterfront, Dave is easy to find and positioned perfectly for city and beach excursions. The wharf location itself is historic — Woodes Rodgers was the British governor who cleared Nassau of pirates in the early 18th century, so there's immediate context all around before the tour even begins.

With a 4.7 rating from 11 reviews, his track record is strong for a small independent operator. Family reviews tend to highlight flexibility — the ability to spend more time at spots kids enjoy and move on quickly from ones they don't care about. That's impossible with a 30-person bus tour.

He runs tours Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 5:30 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 6:30 PM Saturdays. Closed Sundays. Tours typically cover Nassau's historic downtown, viewpoints, beaches, and local markets — adjust based on what your family is most interested in.

Bringing cash is advisable for small independent guides. The Facebook page (facebook.com/simplydavetours) is the best place to reach him in advance to confirm availability and arrange your tour.
