Walk off Tours available at Dockyard?

[Duck Down]

When getting off the cruise ship at the dockyard, are there vendors there selling tours? This is our first time in Bermuda and are looking for a tour of the island for a few hours. Any idea what the rates are for a typical overview tour?

 

Any suggestions 

 

We are not looking to book in advance.

 

Thanks

Not typically, but a blue flag taxi can do tours. The rates are regulated, but I believe there is a minimum number of hours.

 

You might want to search this forum. While I understand not wanting to book in advance, the blue flag drivers can be booked before you get there. Only blue flag drivers can do tours.

You can probably find a Blue Flag taxi driver when you walk off. Those are taxi drivers who have had to pass a course to be certified to give tours. A lot of drivers have the training. So ask for one of those drivers. Often there is a dispatcher there who can help. Drivers who are not Blue Flag will likely point you to one if they are not themselves. The Blue Flag drivers have an ID card. I believe if you are persistent you will find one of the Blue Flag drivers. The rate is regulated. For one to four passengers the rate is $50 an hour, five to seven passengers the rate is $70 an hour. There is a three hour minimum. I actually walked off a ship and did a taxi tour myself a number of years ago so it is possible. 

 

There are also minibuses that do Island Tours. I believe they charge $69 per person. With those you would be sharing, not a private tour like with a taxi. Look for the sign that says Island Tours.
