About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- zintastikcowbell0 contributionsGreat way to be a "traveler" and not a "tourist"This post is long overdue, but better late than never. Mamma Gal/C Bevans Taxi and Tours were amazing to work with and so flexible with customizing our tour, and our day with Charlie was a highlight of our trip (a cruse between Florida and the Bahamas). We actually arranged to essentially combine both the East End and Cultural tours (for an added charge, of course), and it was well worth it. Getting to learn about the different peoples, cultures/industries, food, and landscapes at a leisurely but intentional pace was such a treat. There was a perfect balance of instructional/guided time and independent exploration time. It really was like visiting an uncle and having him show us around and share some of his favorite places. We were able to get away from crowds and most tourists, so even though we were only there for a day, it didn't feel like a "tourist" activity, but an authentic visit. Well worth it!Written July 23, 2024
- woodisep0 contributions10 out of 10This excursion is very family friendly. My husband & I bought our 6 month old. Charlie was accommodating & knowledgeable. We would recommend without hesitation to anyone.Written May 8, 2024

- I5917TZkrish0 contributionsMuch better than cruise ship sure excursion!Charlie was the friendliest most knowledgeable tour guide! We had no crowds, no lines, went to out of the way places really experienced the Bahamas. Recommend this tour!Written April 23, 2024
- Tour470929270400 contributionsFun day outWe enjoyed our adventure very much, we toured the caves at LUCAYAN NATIONAL PARK, also GoldRock beach where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed as well as the Banana Bay restaurant right on the beach. Our guide Bradshaw was very accommodating and informative.Written April 6, 2024
- R2203RWpeters0 contributionsTrip to Lucayan National Park and much more...Very friendly approach from our guide, nice trip to Lucayan National Park, Banana Bay Beach and local market in Freeport with perfect and accurate comments about what we visited and seen...Written March 22, 2024
- Travismg0 contributionsIf you’re not taking this tour you’re missing out!We had an awesome time with Charley on 2/21/24. Really personable, knowledgeable, laid back dude. He gave us a glimpse of the Bahamas most tourists probably don’t see. We spent time on the most beautiful beach we’ve ever seen. Small group sizes give you personal service. Worth every penny. 10/10 can’t recommend enough!Written February 26, 2024
- PoohNP0 contributionsParadise and a Warm WelcomeFrom the moment Charlie picked us up at the port we felt right at home. He was so friendly and full of knowledge. We chose to do a private tour and desired more beach time. We went to Lucaya National Park and then to the most beautiful beach in the world. We even got to enjoy fresh coconut on the beach. Our kids 13 and 9 had a blast and enjoyed the Goombay Punch as well. We finished out our day at Cleveland’s Beach Club. We didn’t want to leave. Charlie was wonderful with the kids. They already miss him. Beautiful Island and beautiful people.Written February 24, 2024
- Escape7762860 contributionsAmazing personalized tourCharlie was very knowledgeable and attentive. Loved that they were flexible with starting early to ensure we were back to the ship in time.Written February 18, 2024
- Departure5311340 contributionsFun, safe, educationalWe loved our day tour with Charley! He was so knowledgeable about the island and made sure we had a great experience. If you are coming in on a cruise like us, DON’T book through the cruise lines! They pack you in like sardines on those buses. Charley made sure we felt isolated from the crowds, but we felt so safe the whole time. Highly recommend this tour if you’re coming to Freeport!Written February 17, 2024
- Y3522BHmarke0 contributionsGreat day!My wife and I were the only clients the day we took the tour. Our day with Charles could not have been better. He is so knowledgeable about Grand Bahama; The Bahamas historical, cultural and current events; and other opportunities to explore and eat. It was an excellent educational day. I highly recommend this tour.Written February 7, 2024
- Quest5154640 contributionsGreat tour!Charlie was an excellent tour guide!! He had lots of knowledge of the island, he was also funny would definitely recommend!Written February 6, 2024
- LaraTBeau0 contributionsGreat day in Freeport!Another 5 STARS for Mamma Gal tours! Highly recommend for a nice day in Freeport! Our guide Charlie was fantastic and gave us a great tour of the history, plants and area highlights! Saw the caves, incredible beaches, shopping and best conch and seafood lunch break too! I booked on Mamma Gal website and you're picked up right at ship exit area. Ask for Charlie and enjoy!Written January 30, 2024
- LMLvacation0 contributionsA perfect day on Grand Bahama!We had the best tour with Charlie! We saw a lot of different areas, and had just the right amount of time at each stop. We never felt rushed. The Lukaya National Park with the caves was very interesting, Gold Rock beach was beautiful and not crowded, lunch and beach was great, and a little shipping at the end. We learned a lot about the island. A perfect day on Grand Bahama. It was so nice to have a local guide who grew up on the island - who is very professional, knowledgable, with a great personality and sense of humor. Couldn't ask for a better tour guide. Highly recommend Mamma Gal tours!Written December 25, 2023
- Gabrielle R0 contributionsMust take the Mama Gal experience!An excellent way to learn the Island history and see some of the most beautiful spots. Charlie was an amazing tour guide and Island host. He made us feel welcomed and treated us like family. Highly recommend the Mama Gal experience.Written November 26, 2023

Mr. Charlie was very nice from the beginning to the end of our excursion. He was very informative about his native culture , and did not mind answering questions. He even picked flowers for all the ladies on our trip,which I thought was very sweet of him. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone who is interested in learning about the native experience on Freeport.

This was our favorite part of our cruise to the Bahamas! We got to see local villages, visit markets, spend some time at a beautiful beach and restaurant, visit a lighthouse, and find conch shells that had been thrown out by fishermen. Charlie was an awesome guide and is so knowledgeable! We were looking for something not too crowded or touristy and this was perfect!!

Denise, our driver and tour guide, provided a fascinating and informative trip in an air conditioned van. She had a problem with the microphone system, but her voice was loud enough to hear. We went to many areas, and saw all facets of the communities and life beyond the tourist and city areas. Stopped at a beach, farmer's market where we had some delicious conch/lobster fritters, and even a liquor store by request of another passenger.
This is the tour if you want to know all about Freeport.

Charlie was our tour guide and he was absolutely great! He takes pride in the place he was raised and grew up in and it shows. Took us all around showing us everything in Freeport, taste tested conch fritters, shopped straw markets, got to get out several stops to take pictures of landmarks. 100% recommend this excursion outside of carnival when in Freeport!

Charlie is a knowledgeable, patient and fun person to spend the day with. He knows so much about his beloved island and enjoys answering questions and sharing its beauty with anyone interested. So glad I had the chance to participate in the tour. I went as a solo traveler, but Charlie was great at getting the group to actually feel like a group; we had a lovely day together. I recommend his tour highly.

My family recently went on a tour organized by Mamma Gal, and I feel compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. From the beginning until the end, Denise was an exceptional tour guide. She went above and beyond my expectations, making it a truly memorable and enjoyable adventure.
Her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the tour.

We had a wonderful day here. Bradshaw was our driver. He was very knowledgeable and warm and we loved hearing about and seeing his homeland. We were treated so well, it was a relaxed day and we got to feel the softest sand ever which we really loved. Thank you Bradshaw and Charlie!

We had Charlie as our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. The highlight for us was stopping at the rocky beach in the fishing village and picking up a conch shell that we got to take back with us. It was cool to see the buildings, the marketplace, and the lighthouse. The complimentary conch fritters were delicious! We would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the city of Freeport.

If you’re visiting Freeport, any tour with Charlie as your tour guide is going to be well worth your time and money. He is incredibly knowledgeable and showed my family a true native experience in Freeport. Not only is Charlie a wonderful tour guide, but he is also just a truly amazing person. The Mamma Gal native experience is a must if you’re visiting Freeport!

Came to Freeport on a Carnival cruise. Very easy to locate our tour operator next to the Harley Davidson store. He had free cold water for us while we waited for everyone to arrive. Nice touch! For my particular tour it was just me and another couple, traveling in a very nice air conditioned van. Our tour driver was Bradshaw "the most famous man on the island". He kept us informed and entertained throughout our tour. We traveled all around the island but the highlights were the local market with the fresh fruits and the vendor who treated us to free conch fritters. I thought ew...but trust me they were delicious!!! And our stop at the Banana Bay beach club which was mostly deserted except for us on a beautiful beach! We were delivered safe and sound back at the shop with about an hour left to shop the vendors there. I recommend this tour whole heartedly! Wish I had taken more pictures to share.

The pickup location is right off the boat...you can't miss it. Charlie will be standing in front of the Harley Davidson store, which will be directly in front of where your boat is.

Do you have an email? My aunt has limited walking mobility and I am wondering if there are places to sit and rest at each stop. Do any of the spots have long stretches of walking without sitting.
Written October 19, 2019
I think his business and most other tour companies were destroyed by the hurricane that hit Freeport. I question how many tour companies are up and running right now.
I booked him through Viator, there is very little walking. You could try booking through Viator, maybe they have been able to get up and running.
