We were surprised we had to pay bridge toll when tour guide took us to Atlantis. We did not wish to go to a couple of stops and asked to go to Atlantis last.. Tour guide accepted our request. However when we went to Atlantis he said we had 20 minutes instead of 30 minutes as tour allowed. Rolly Polly was very knowledgeable and gave us very good information on the tour. Inside the van we did not feel it was clean. May have been but we felt that way. Instructions to meeting place could have been much better. Had to wait for Tour Guide a long time in the hot sun with no place to sit. Tour guide was late in arriving.
Make sure to put in a request to AVOID Rollie as your driver/guide

he private city tour review:
The lady who provided video instructions of meeting time and location
was fantastic. We ended up by the fountain (almost to the meet up
point) but our driver/tour guide (Rollie Pollie) was 15 minutes late.
Rollie did a good job of pointing out attractions and taking us to the
destinations as advertised by "BigMama's Tours and Taxi". This review
is not against BigMama's but should be directed against their employee
Rollie.
Rollie sold us on a separately arranged 4 hour private tour starting
at 8am that included "2 snorkeling locations (different islands),
swimming with the turtles, lunch at rose island, then swimming with
the pigs". He stated "you pay through me because of my company Rollie
Pollie you got a discount and I will carry you directly to the boat".
We were told to meet at Bay Shore Marina at 7:30am. He ensured
Captain Williams on the boat "4 play" would be ready and sent us a
picture of the boat. He asked for PayPal and that money was sent to confirm our
reservation. Of those items on the itinerary, we were very far off
from what was supposed to be included.
What happened: we showed up at Bay Shore Marina at 7:30am. We waited
with a 3 year old until 9:00am for no one to show up and got a hold of
Rollie who directed us to meet him at Bruno's Fish Fry restaurant. He
then took us to a different 'marina' which looked more like a junkyard
and a new captain (Omar) and boat ("Snorkeling Tours"). We got on that "Snorkeling Tours" boat at 9:30am. We were taken to "Eddie Murphy" island where we were asked if we wanted to walk around. We said no. Then the boat broke down (lost steering). We walked around the island anyway because we had to wait for a jetski to come with power steering fluid. The broken down boat could now steer again.
We were taken to swim with turtles (we didn't see any and there was no
swimming). We were taken to see dolphins (ie: dolphins swimming in
captivity as we peered through the Sandals enclosures). We were taken
to go snorkeling; the big reef was too choppy so we were taken to a
little reef, per our request as the little reef was also still very
choppy, but less so. I was almost hit by the boat trying to get out
of the choppy water and heard "LOOK OUT!" to get out of the way before
the boat landed on me. Swimming with pigs was "phone a friend" that
shows up on a random beach in New Providence (the same island we were
staying on) who brings a mama pig and piglet and picks them up to put
them in the water to swim). We were then taken to a local restaurant (Goldie's, where lunch was NOT included and we had to pay). We were then taken back
to the "marina". With the issues in the morning with the boat, change
of location, significant downgrade in boat, paying for our own lunch, and not getting the tour we signed up for ($1420), we were told we would get a $200 refund for the child (since most companies don't charge for children 3 and
under). We've been in contact with Rollie for the past 15 days and
each time, he assures the refund is coming. We've seen nothing after
multiple requests.
I'd ensure if you book a tour with BigMama's, that you request you DO
NOT get Rollie as your guide. For a private tour, usually the guides
are very accommodating and trustworthy. Needless to say, Rollie tried
to be accommodating but fell through on execution and lack of follow
through and after that, could not be trusted.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
First of all I'm abit concern 1. That you would come on Bigmamas Tours platform to make this review. As we DID NOT sell you this experience. 2. That you would TRUST and individual instead of a REPUTABLE COMPANY with your family and your funds!
I am deeply saddened by your experience in the aspect that you meet Mr. Rolle whom is an EMPLOYEE through us.
However i would like to make a suggestion that you never make that mistake again its always worth it to do research and make conscious decisions when it involves your family and your finances. Use the reputable companies. It may cost abit more however the cost is worth the service!
Enjoy Life❤
Not so highlights
Christian_L

Not that great, our tour guide seemed tired, not enthusiastic and not interested, could barely get up from his seat. Made no effort to locate us at the end of each activities so we wasted a lot of time trying to find him to pick us up. Overall tour schedule is 2hrs so stop by at highlight points were quick. Tour guide skipped a few highlights pretending it's either not open or not worth it to see anyway. Provided basic historical information. At one point we thought the guide would not make it as he was heavily breathing and seemed to be suffocating. Glad we made it back to the hotel but don't know if he did. Bahamas is very beautiful and scenery were exceptional.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Thank you for your time of reviewing your experience with us. Yes, the tours are 2hours. However our guides most times go over 2 hours as it's a private tour and we are flexible.
I've investigated your allegations and I'm wondering if they're based on the fact that you wanted extra time and wanted to stop at places that were not on the tour, like the fish Fry?
While on tour the driver called the office and said that you wanted extra time at some places and that the grouping really spent exceptionally extended amount of time at some places.
We want you to experience that island, we want you to have fun, however we have to do it all in a timely manner that is set for the tour.
When you reserved, i remember now vividly now "you said can it all be done in 2 hours?" And I said we do it all the time.
In the future make your needs clear and we will make the time you need available
Thank you for choosing us. have a happy life
Disappointed

Our driver ( Rolly Polly) was friendly, however, he was 20 minutes late for pickup ( he said he was detained by a parade float) and his vehicle was dirty. We didn’t see all the places on the itinerary, like the Distillery and our time was cut short at other places like Atlantis. I’ve taken 2 other tours with Viator in Nassau, and they were much better tours.
Our guide was 15-20 min...

Our guide was 15-20 min late for departure and initially sounded like we were meeting another group that was also lost.
Response from Host , Nov 2021
Hello my darling, thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience with us. It was definitely a pleasure. Although we have a lot of construction going on at the port we are still meeting at the same place as always. We have agents on standby to take calls and whats app messages just incase there are any misunderstandings. However we would have loved to hear more about the tour and how did that go? Until next time.......

Rollie Pollie is an awesome tour guide. Treated us like royalty. I highly recommend him and appreciate the hospitality.
Perfect way to start your vacation in the Bahamas.
Beware - meeting spot unclear!!
Yaroslava C
, Jul 2019
Just to be clear - I did not actually take the tour because I could not find the meeting spot!! I am an experienced traveller and think it speaks for itself. I am writing this review to help future bookers avoid this mistake! The indications for the meeting spot were extremely unclear:
1. When looking for a spot, I was assured by 3 locals that the Fountain at Senior Frogs MUST be the right meeting spot for the tour and is the only known Fountain
2. neither the "old ministry building" nor "Festival welcome center" are indicated on Google maps and noone you ask will know where they are!
Aside from lost money, I was EXTREMELY upset by missing the tour and started calling the support which was compelety useless. Noone called me back and noone helped in any way to ask the lady to pick me up where I was. I called until I ran out of money and was told to wait and remained there waiting for 1.5 hours for Big Momma to pick me up, which never happened.
I am sure the tour itself should be fine, but just please BEWARE that the meeting spot is hard to find and well .it is still a mystery to me where it was, even after I tried to find it later in the day.
Response from Host , Jul 2019
Hello there Love. Thank you for your Comment. I totally understand your frustration. The water fountain, Ministry of Tourism building and Festival place are really easy to locate. They have been exactly where they are from I was a child all my Life. Once you're on Bay Street you really can't miss them.
Now here is where the problem came in which was unfortunate for you. I seen you. I was downtown early that day. There were "No Cruise Ships" in port. I clearly remember it. I was parked across the street approximately at 930am you walked by VIA Cafe with a back pack on your back. I rolled the window down on a little gray van and said Hello. You looked at me and continued walking not saying a word. I didn't know at the time it was you! And you didn't know it was me! However you looked lost.
Once the other passengers arrive I waited for you and you never came back. I went to the first stop and when I was about to leave my assistant called saying that you're trying to locate us. I was about to make an extra stop to just to come back and pick you up. That's why I told you wait. However the rain came down pouring and the Cleints I had was unable to get off the bus!. Once I got to the Fort the Police told me you were there also looking for us but we were not there as yet. It is never my intention to upset "No Client" day with misunderstandings. NEVER! I try my endeavor to go the extra mile and beyond. If you take the time to book with us. I take my time and take care of you. However this day was a dreadful day for me as the operator and you as the client. And I am sorry. Please contact my office directly and anytime your in the area again. You will receive 2 free bus tour passes. Once again All the best! Thank you!

Big Mama is everything and a bag of plantain chips--humorous, warm, well-informed, she has a definite love of Nassau that she wants to share with all of her "darlin's" on board. She drives the van, commentates, is quick with answers and fun tidbits about the island, and makes you feel at ease right from the beginning. I cannot recommend this fun trip enough--DO IT!
