K_B, Apr 2024

Ken was awesome. He showed us all of the hot spots in Montego Bay. The tour was amazing! I would definitely recommend Ken as your guide.

Slice of culture with humor!

Richard_D, Mar 2024

Leon was the best! He was knowledge of the island and its flora and fauna was amazing! Except he did not know the dragon eye fruit! lol! I would highly recommend booking a private tour with Leon!

Learning more about Jamaica

Debora_C, Nov 2023

Freeport, Downtown, the Market, and the historical church. The history of island life was fantastic.

Private MB tour

Darrell_H, Aug 2023

Leon is the absolute best, he was very thorough in explaining history of everywhere we went and bonded as more of a part of the family versus a tour guide. I will certainly request him on the next trip as well.

Leon Campbell is THEE BEST!!

Roxanna_O, Jun 2023

BOOK IT!! Don’t hesitate! And by all means, ask for Mr. Leon Campbell! I don’t need to meet the rest, HE IS THEE BEST! Mr Leon was full of friendliness and very knowledgeable of the history of Jamaica! When you hear Jamaicans are relaxed & laid back, BELIEVE IT! He took us everywhere we requested & then some! Mr Leon went above & beyond the call of his job! I was in search of a particular item which was a souvenir Jamaican phone case but didn’t know where to find one. Even though we were unlucky on that day, he made every effort to find it. He went to 2/3 different places in search of one! If you’re looking to book this tour, put in a request for Mr Leon Campbell with Jamaican Tours! He will definitely give you thee best experience!!

Never again - disappointing - not worth the money

Lizette_M, May 2023

I was told the company that I booked my excursion with (Jamaica Experience) was busy so they asked this other tour company (Mighten's Tours and Transfers) to take the job. This was so wrong, I booked Jamaica Experience because I read most of all their reviews and I liked what I read. I should have been given the opportunity to review this other tour company to see if I wanted to still go on the tour or get a refund. I feel I was cheated. The guy "Nigel" who picked us up was cocky and arrogant. He was not engaging at all, no sense of humor, limited talking. One of the doors was not working so I would need to go out through the opposite door and even that one was malfuntioning. The seats were not in good condition. Nigel asked what we wanted to see so I made some suggestions and he said no to everything saying it was far out or he tried to discourage the places that were more near so I then told him to choose. He drove us through some neighborhoods and the market area which was nice as we got to see the locals. However, He took us to Harmony public beach park, had he told us ahead of time he was planning on parking and walking this place I would have said no as I thought this was a waste of time. Nothing fun or exciting, he could have just pointed this place out to us while he drove past it. However, he took us here to let us know his personal story as he was part of the project when they were building this park so it was all about him. Then we went to a museum. Then he took us to a gift shop, we did a lot of shopping then next door was margaritaville so I got a drink and picked up a quick souvenir there as well. By this time I was hungry so I asked the tour person to take us to a nice seafood place he recommended. After the tour guy had told us where he was going to take us, he mentioned he was just booked last minute for another tour and did not have time to take us to eat, so he apologized and took us back to our resort. This was very disappointing as I was looking forward to eating at a local restaurant. I do not recommend either company!! Not worth the money.

Wasn’t worth it

Dionisha_R, Nov 2022

I feel like we spent $775 to drive around. We never stopped at the civic theater. We stopped at a fruit market and the fruit was good and fresh and the lady was nice. But then our 2nd stop was to a gift shop and the staff basically followed us around and had really bad attitudes. We were told whatever we purchased would be 50% off but we ended up spending $228 USD for 3 shirts and a shot glass. We realized we were being scammed and was ready to back to our villa at that point. Ryan was our driver. Despite the negative experience he was very nice. The experience wasn’t worth the price.

Tried to get additional money from us up front!

Jason_M, Oct 2022

My online order for this trip was accepted by the company. Then after I got there I got a call that said if I wanted to still go the same day I booked it would be $40 additional per person. I asked them to cancel it and he said that was my job to do so I have tried. We will see!

Great experience. Driver...

kenisha_b, Aug 2022

Great experience. Driver was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Tired fresh fruit and stopped to get lunch

Great Excursion

Avonnee_D, Aug 2022

Fun and authentic… a little bit of history a little bit of action! A great way to see real Jamaica!! It feels we hit all that Ian needed in a vacation tour!

Cassie_T, Aug 2022

We understood when booking this tour that it would be a private and customized tour, but the details sections gave a limited itinerary of places that you might visit. Honestly, we rode around to a few of the local neighborhoods and most of our photos were taken from the bus. It was not worth the money charged for this tour. Our tour guide was nice, but we really wanted to see some of the main “attractions” of Montego Bay and/or at least photo ops.

Awesome tour

Shanita_D, Aug 2022

The tour was very informative we learned a lot throughout the entire tour. Our tour guide was very nice.

Highly recommend, entire family enjoyed!

Brian_H, Jul 2022

We had a great time with Ryan! He took us where we wanted to go and knew who to talk to so we didn’t have to wait for anything. He was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us some delicious fresh fruits from the island. Next time I’m in Montego Bay we will be using this tour again! The van was clean and cool, even in the July humidity.

Excellent private tour

Traci_G, Jul 2022

My husband and I went on a private tour with Capt Joe. It was a great experience. We got to see the local areas and get some local food. 10/10 would recommend.

Carol_C, Jul 2022

We enjoyed our time! Our guide, Delano, did a good job of showing us around & telling us about the area. Just make sure you have all initial contact info in plenty of time. It has hard to connect with lack of reliable internet on the cruise ship.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thanks for your review, and it’s a good point you are enforcing to others, we occur these situations regularly, Jamaicaexperience.tours pleased to say again, thanks for your support and this kind review🙏🏾.

Owen Made This Experience

Iesha_C, Jun 2022

Owen was amazing. He went above and beyond to make our own experience incredible. We enjoyed it so much we insisted he be the driver for our experience today!

Great Tour!

Karen_V, Jun 2022

This was our first time coming to Jamaica and we didn’t want a cookie cutter tour. We got our wish! Ryan customized our experience with historic Montego Bay as well the heart of the parish. Experienced in not only the country but each parish vibe and flow he is knowledgeable and fun. Everyone knows him so it made for joyful conversation. Thanks Ryan and Leon for a great tour. Definitely recommend!

His knowledge of the history and important areas of Jamaica. He knew about the trees and the different leaves and fruit that they produce. It was very interesting!

Montego Bay private tour

Dennis_M, Dec 2021

Leon and Gary were very professional. There were 12 of us, the tour bus was very clean, nearly new? They arrived early, and didn’t rush us during the day. Left the hotel on time at 11:30 and returned at 4. Leon started off the day by asking if there was anything in particular we wanted to see, or if we had a specific return time. We made two stops, one near the airport for the view, shop and a beer, essentially a typical market stop. The other stop was at Scotchies for jerk. It was very good. Rustic setting, clean and friendly. The tour consisted of visiting a number of neighborhoods in MoBay and downtown. Gary pointed out points of interest, as well as local plants and fruit and nut trees. We all enjoyed the day, learned some things about Montego Bay and enjoyed the company of Leon and Gary.
