Would do it again - Glen was out tour guide and he was outstanding. He took us around Montego Bay, took us to a local place to eat and ended with a beautiful beach stop. We couldn't be happier or more thankful for the time he put in to show us the bad and good about Jamaica.

Drive at your own risk - Roads are in terrible condition making driving unsafe. Traffic in the city reminds me of movies in India - not wide enough for 2 cars, potholes big enough to damage cars. Hosan our driver was skilled and took us to the historic town center and explained how Jamaica gained its independence. We had the best jerk chicken and saw how the poor lived vs the rich. Went where tour buses could not go.

Great local Montego Bay tour - We highly recommend this tour! They were great communicating ahead of time and Khrisann was a great tour guide! We enjoyed this tour. The island is obviously damaged with the hurricane, but it was nice to see Montego Bay and get views and knowledge from a local guide. They are also flexible in showing places, make sure to connect ahead of time.

Wonderful day in Montego Bay and Falmouth - Just back from a wonderful day out. 9 of family ages from 26 to 89, all well catered for. We saw how Jamaicans in this area live, learnt some history and spent a few hours on the beach in our customized tour. Also appreciated seeing the effects of the hurricane, much more impactful to see first hand. Definitely would recommend!

Well worth it - A really worthwhile tour - especially to get away from the Disneyland-esque experience of an all-inclusive hotel that was quite far from anything. Good to see a more real aspect of local life as well as the continuing efforts to recover after Hurricane Melissa.

Never to late to Live Healthy - I loved the Experience of being immersed into the Culture and Scenery of Jamaica. My whole view on dietary has changed. I definitely would recommend all Americans and those across the World to stop eating GMOs.

Disappointing - Although our driver was nice we paid an additional amount for port pickup and that's not where we were picked up.It was near a main road and security walked us there. I wanted to see a few historical places but felt I was lead in other directions. When asking about going to a market she called a friend who met us there and of course directed us to her store. Don't go to the market unless you want to be harassed. It was awful. By the time all the just driving through neighborhoods was over I couldn't wait to get out of the car.i almost fell asleep actually.it seemed she had a tour path that she follows and I didn't see any of the sites I was truly interested in.It was 218.00 for 2 of us because I was told the port pick up was a different price than hotel pick up..although we DID NOT get port pick up..I didn't care for it . Wasn't able to see what I wanted..didn't even stop to see beach.
