Any Independent (non-ship) Tours?

[yogimax]

We try to avoid the expensive tours the cruise lines sponsor and were wondering if there are any independent hitorical/cultural/walking tours you would recommend. Thanks in advance!

Here's a link to the hotel tour desk.

They have some very nice country and historic tours.

 

 

You can take a walking tour. Self guided, or with a guide.

 

Here's the tour and contact information.

We hooked up with a guy out front called Charlie Hamilton (taxi 327). We had a very similar situation where mom wanted to gamble/not walk. We wanted to see stuff. He took us all around to see the sights before going to Atlantis. We paid him a quite a bit - about $35 per person, but it was well worth it. We also gave him a little extra to shuttle us to the beach after dropping my mom off and then later he went to get my mom from the casino and then us to shuttle us to the boat (NCL Jewel). But the BEST thing was he himself - hilarious! He was a comedian and very "with it" about things on the island (history, etc.) and life in general. He was a complete nut putting on this "act" that we were all royalty and making things VERY fun. people were really freaked out by him - crazy (but nice and fun) guy. He watched our stuff for the day (video cameras, etc.) when we went to the beach as well.

 

I tipped him an extra $100 - that's how much we liked him! It was like having our personal entertainer!

 

Anyone know of him?
