Best Tour Guide in Jamaica! - Our family the pleasure of spending two days with Marlon in Jamaica this week. He is professional, courteous and a great tour guide.
Our first day trip with Marlon was to Rick's Cafe.  Although we only requested the Cafe, Marlon took us souvenir shopping and to visit some caves beforehand. We explored the caves and Marlon detailed their purpose as a meeting place and also explained what "Sea Beef" were.Â
Rick's Cafe was great, we stayed around four hours, jumping from each platform level before having lunch and a few beers (be careful of the tourist pricing!). Marlon was kind enough to give us as much time as we needed.
The second day trip was to YS Falls and Pelican Bar. YS Falls was beautiful, we were able to tour the site and relax in their pool as long as we wanted (something you'd never get from a bus tour vs. private transfer). After YS, Marlon took us to a local restaurant to eat.  The food there was fantastic and not "tourist" priced, which we appreciated.
Pelican Bar was the next stop and Marlon made sure to select a licensed boatman to get us to and from the bar. We stayed at the bar for couple hours then returned to the hotel.
During both trips Marlon shared his knowledge of Jamaica.  Detailed the great Peter Tosh's contribution to The Wailers and Bob Marleys legacy and where he was laid to rest. We also stopped by the Waterloo Great House to learn about its history as the first building to have electricity in Jamaica.
We felt so comfortable after two days with Marlon that when our daughter and her boyfriend (19yos) decided to travel to Dolphin Cove, we didn't hesitate to ask Marlon. They had another great day with him and he even stopped at the Negril sign and took pictures of them.
Marlon is the way to travel in Jamaica.  He's personable, and more affordable than the big private bus tours. The extra time spent at each location would never happen with bus tours that hurry you in and hurry you out. Plus all the extras that he threw in at no additional cost.Â
Trust me and call or Whats App Marlon! You will not be disappointed!!!

Very happy - Went out his way to show you parts we went through and had so much knowledge not what you just read in books but he made my 10 year old son enjoy learning and trying different fruit he has never had before.

Marlon the magnificent - Marlon was our driver and he was wonderful. Marlon made the experience personable and we felt like friends and family. The YS Falls and the Pelican Bar is a place too see, you must check it off your bucket list. Floyd the owner of the Pelican Bar was friendly and conversational. The Bar was laid back, you can relax and play games. If you take this tour, ask for Marlon tours 1 876-957-5216, you won't regret it.

Read the fine print - Our driver was great, I just didn’t read the fine print about what this actually was. The money you pay upfront is just for the driver. It’s over two hours one way. You have to pay 25 per person for the falls (which were amazing!). Then you have to pay 25 per person to take a boat to the pelican bar. Then you have to pay for all food and drinks…….. hundreds more than I thought. Fun though!

YS= Yes, Pelican- fly a different direction - YS FALLS was a nice laid back experience. Don’t waste your time with the Pelican Bar. Not a great vibe & nothing to do but drink overpriced Red Stripes. Driver (Marlon) was great. Very friendly and informative. He taught us about the medicinal plants that are all around us while in Jamaica.

Got charged by TripAdvisor, but didn’t get to go - I have used trip advisor for a long time. Rather frustrated right now. Booked this excursion on a day that showed the trip was available. Got charged. Got a message from the tour company that the waterfall isn’t open on the day that we scheduled it (Mondays). No money back, and no trip either.
