The trip is totally worth it! - I had never heard this story before, and it was something I discovered during my private tour with my driver. The mansion itself is just wow — and so is its history. Very knowledgeable guides. Bring some cash to tip them; they work hard. And grab something from the gift shop. The trip is totally worth it!

Annee's Escape Bundle - A Must Do in Montego Bay! - My husband and I booked the Annee's Escape Bundle - WORTH EVERY PENNY! Only way to see everything and on a very personalized level. It is only $129 USD and what you get as part of the tour truly is an incredible deal/value for literally a FULL DAY (5-6 hours). It included not only BOTH of the house tours (Rose Hall & Cinnamon Hill) but then also shopping AND food (WHICH WAS SO DELICIOUS!!). Angele Nunez and our two other tour guides at the houses were absolutely incredible and the tours were private! Just us! We learned SO MUCH about the history and stories, and also got to experience Montego Bay off the resort (we stayed at an all-inclusive). We literally got door-to-door service from our resort, so we didn't have to worry about logistics it was all taken care of! Highly recommend for anyone and everyone - couples, families, you name it. Like we said, WORTH EVERY PENNY, worth the time, and the only way to see it all!

A haunted museum trip. - Spooky vibes in a beautiful house with a bloodied backstory in the outskirts of MoBay, our tour guide Erika made sure to let us know every important detail, with a fair pace for us (non-english natives) to follow. We shared our first drink in Jamaica (mandatory for protecting against the various curses of this haunted place!) in the underground level, and visited the White Witch's grave, everything felt a little bit off but we guess that's precisely part of the experience. If you're into terror, we recommend to go at nighttime where it might get even spookier.

Special tour - Got solo tour, the lady was still very energetic and explained very clearly, she recommended photo spots and was attentive, at the end she even sang the Johnny Cash song about the white witch

Favourite day - Might have been my favourite thing I did on vacation. The restoration is beautifully done, the tour guide was patient with questions and knowledgeable. And the site is so beautiful. I also feel it is important to learn about our history and this is a place of great significance and sorrow in the context of slavery. Great educational opportunity.
