Need to learn a bit about the island

Want my teenage kids to learn a bit about everywhere we take them. This was a good option to meet that goal. Quick in and out, well staffed, easy to get to and then back to the beach and pool.

A fun fort to walk around with view of ships

We went on a Sunday and the gates were open and it was free. Another group went on a different day and paid five per person. It is fun walking around the fort and seeing the sites

My husband and I on June 11, 2019 decided to do a City and Country Tour as an excursion. One of the stops on the tour was Fort Charlotte. The fort is huge, there are little shops at the entry of the fort. We were...More

Neat place to see some history of Bahamas.

A stop on our ATV tour. Guide was excellent and knew her history. Fort was neat to check out and the view from there was amazing. Tiny shops outside for souveniers.

Nice tour

I wasn't expecting much, but the tour guide brought the place to life. A lot of history here and some amazing stone work. Definitely worth the visit.

Excellent view of the Harbour

We were not allowed to drive in since the property was apparently under new ownership. However, even though we were allowed to walk in, there was still not much to see since the place is still in transition and the gift shop etc were closed.

Problematic

Tour was awkward at best and problematic during the majority of the visit. Generally speaking a guide should never say that someone's freedom was just casually/benevolently provided because the “slaves looked sad” and the lieutenant wanted to see them smile. The guide also mentioned that...More
