The tour begins with a drive through historic Nassau, stopping at the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory to sample flavors such as piña colada, banana, and chocolate.

Next, cross the 65-foot bridge connecting Nassau to Paradise Island. Pass by the Cloisters and photograph the marble statue Silence.

The Queen's Staircase, a 102-foot limestone staircase carved in the late 18th century, is the next stop. Climb the 65 steps to Bennet's Hill, Nassau’s highest point, and access Fort Fincastle.
