When we went to visit the fort last week everything was closed and all the vendor stalls were empty. I think we were there on a Saturday too. The Cricket Club is right next door for food and drinks though. More

Excellent tour. Not too long, and great views from the top of the fort. I recommend going to the Cricket Club after to quench your thirst or have a bite to eat. More

Interesting but you will face aggressive stall vendors. It is a shame they dont paint it up and smarten it up. But then Bahamians dont like their English History at all and dont want to remember it. Views from the top are good. More

Had to ask for a guide after paying (and we were literally the only people there). Tour included cardbOard cut-outs, inaudible recordings, and the guide insisted on tips. Save your money. More

This just has awesome views of the island and worth the visit. You will not spend a ton of time here but just taking in the time is worth it. More

Interesting and worth the $5 fee to get in, if you are lucky enough to go on a day when tour guides are there it is worth it as they give you lots of tidbits for nothing more than a tip! More
