Nice tour to get an overall view of Ocho Rios

jenniegoodridge, Apr 2024

Tour was relaxed. Henry our tour guide was very attentive and patient when we had to do some shopping. Gave a good overview of life in Ocho Rios.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hey, thanks very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your experience. We look forward for you to come again and get more excited experience of other attractions. Thanks again.

Great tour of Ochios Rios

Jodi_O, Jan 2024

We had a great experience on this tour. Henry was our driver and he took us all around Ochios Rios. He showed us a list of attractions and allowed us to pick where we wanted to go. We went to the blue hole early before the crowds arrived. We also drove through the Ferngully and had some amazing jerk chicken.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hey. Thanks very much for your feedback and thanks for sharing your experience with other travelers about your driver and the experience of the locations you have visited, thanks again and we look forward to see you guys again. Stay bless.

Much better option than any ship’s excursion offering

Joe_J, Jan 2024

Winston was great! He provided the perfect suggestions for our family of 4 given the limited amount of time we were in the area. The meeting place was convenient to the port, the vehicle was large, clean and comfortable and we always felt safe. We beat the large crowds and had an amazing day in Jamaica. Ocho Rios is a beautiful place we can’t wait to come back to. I would highly recommend Winston to all my friends and family.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hey. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to be your driver guide, and I'm so glad you were able to take the time out of your busy schedule to share your experiences with other travelers who are now getting ready to book there vacation. Thanks again for choosing Tour Jamaica Today.

Terrible

Kirdens_C, Dec 2023

The driver was not knowledgeable about the area it was just a ride to the store. I could have easily rented a car for far less money and take ourselves to the store. This sightseeing account should be taking down because it is a scam. That company just call a cab for us which we could have done ourselves.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thanks for sharing you experience, we really appreciate hearing from you. You had your tour December 21, 2023 which was indeed a sightseeing that you booked for you, as you have mention that your tour experience was only to the store I cannot agree with you, as I the manager of this tour company wasn't your driver but I had the opportunity to personally even meet with you both at one of the locations that your driver took you to, I was introduce to you by your driver ,I greeted you both I asked how was your tour going? You answer and stated that it was going on ok while I recall you both taking photo at the sightseeing locations over looking the ocean and Ocho Rios town, your driver also carried your to other location, I can testify to you getting a full sightseeing tour because I personally had other guest and happen to be at the same location your driver went to. I appreciate you writing but your honesty is always expected.

The Best tour and tour guide ever.

Debra_C, Dec 2023

Our Guide Leroy was amazing, he shared so much History of Jamica with us that we were not aware of. He took us so many places and let us have time to do our own exploring. I would like to thank Leroy for making that tour a very amazing one. Thank you Leroy.

Latchman_H, Oct 2023

This was a nice tour. The driver is very excellent. He explained a lot about where we were going and what we'll be doing. He took us to many interesting places, including shopping areas.

Winston for the WIN!

Sasha_N, Oct 2023

Winston is truly a gem! Me and my kids visited Jamaica in March for the first time and decided to book a tour of Ocho Rios and we couldn't have picked a better tour guide. With Winston it was like being with family... he showed us around and gave us so much insight and history about Jamaica. You could hear the passion in his voice when speaking about Jamaica.. you can tell that he truly loves what he does. He customized our trip to our liking and took us to some cool spots where we got some of the most gorgeous views of Jamaica. We even sat down and had a meal together like we were all family. We thank you Winston for the memories you have given us that will last forever and when we come back to Jamaica we will definitely make sure we see you again!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hey. Thanks to you and your family for sharing your own experience about the beautiful Island of Jamaica, where you all get a great experience and see the natural things and was able to touch them for yourself. It was a pleasure been with you all and share the knowledge of the things and didn't hide anything from you guys but explain it all to you as you listen carefully and and get the knowledge of everything. Thanks again for choosing Tour Jamaica Today.

Easy tours with Viator

Jerome_D, Sep 2023

Viator does Tours the best no matter where they are. They hooked up with Henry in Ocho Rios and he was so knowledgeable and professional. We used Viator for our trip to Barcelona Spain as well and the service was consistently good.

Brilliant to do if you don't know what to do!

Leanne_H, Jul 2023

Absolutely brilliant trip. Winston was the man with all the information. It was our fist time in Jamaica and so Winston recommended a few things to show us and then was interested in what WE wanted to see. There were a variety of things, from FernGully to Mick Jagger's house. Lots of history and botanical information too. We even stopped for sweet treats. Nothing was too much trouble for Winston and we were chatting away like family!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi. Thanks very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your own experience with other travelers who want to come and see little of the real Jamaica for themselves.

Winston is your guy for an Ocho Rios experience.

sherita_L, May 2023

Winston was AWESOME. Truly a gracious and sweet man. My son and I really enjoyed him being our tour guide. He showed us so many sites in and around Ocho Rios. Winston was even kind enough to stop us at the various trees that grew different herbs, spices, and roots and took them off the leaf so we could smell it. He gave us so much history as well. I would 100 % recc this tour with Winston.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi. Thanks very much for sharing about your day experience with your driver and the deferent things and the knowledge of the many deferent tipes of herb's. Thanks again, and we look forward to see you both again. Stay safe.

Best Shore Excursion Ever!

Barbara_E, May 2023

Before our cruise left, I searched extensively for shore excursions. We already knew about all the tourist spots, and we wanted to avoid the crowds and lines, and get a more personal experience…. And that’s what we got with Winston. He was punctual; waiting for us before the cruise ship even docked. He gave good advice as to what was open, and where to go first. We wanted to experience the Blue Hole, and he got us there before anyone else was there. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! He took us where we wanted to go, and gave us all the time we needed! I definitely recommend Winston, and hope he’ll be available if we should ever go back to that side of Jamaica. Thanks Winston!!

Response from Host, May 2023

Hey, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your experience with your driver and the way he organize your trip for the day so you was able to enjoyed just about everything for the day. I'm happy you enjoyed your day here in Jamaica, please come again and get more excited experience of our beautiful island of Jamaica the land of wood and water. Stay safe

Aite trip

Lashaquirria_A, Mar 2023

Didn’t really do much. He did accommodate with things we needed… I can’t even say what the experience was because much wasn’t done.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hey,Thanks for sharing your experience about your tour. I'm not sure what really happened, but you mentioned didn't really do much, but he did accommodate you with things you need, you say much wasn't done, I'm not sure if your tour done on one of the raney day if it was raining then you could have a problem seeing everything we normally show our guest on a sightseeing tour. An so I do apologize for the inconveniences you experience, I'm hoping that you will come again and get more excited experience of our beautiful island of Jamaica the land of wood and water. Thanks again and stay safe as we look forward to see you again.

Best Tour Guide!

bstzgrgcbg, Mar 2023

Our tour was fantastic - Leroy was the best driver / guide we could ask for. He took us to the best sights, shopping and a spot for delicious jerk chicken. He was friendly and informative - and patient when we asked him if he could swing by an ATM on the way bank to the port!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Wonderful, I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the day with both your driver and the experience and i look forward for you to come again. Thanks again and stay bless.

Nothing to see

Geraldine_M, Mar 2023

There is very little to see or do. I can't blame it on the guide. I would suggest that if you ar eon the ship, just stay there but don't take a tour of Ocho Rios.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hey, thanks very much for sharing your own experience. I'm not sure of the things you did want to see, but whatever tour you book, for instant if you book the sightseeing tour you are only going to see and take pictures of as much as possible for the day! So I will encourage to come again and choose what you want to do and your guide will do whatever. But there are lots of things to do and places to visit but the most of them you have to pay the entry fee, but the sightseeing tour you don't pay entry fee for it you only drive in an around Ocho Rios take pictures and get educated of many deferent things including medicinal plants. I look forward for you to come again and get some great experience of Jamaica. Stay safe.

Rupert was good but our meeting directed we’re all wrong!

Robert_S, Feb 2023

Well the good news is that Rupert was a very informative and friendly guide. However, we were instructed to meet him at the port. When we got off our ship there were tons of guides but not ours. After an hour someone was able to get a hold of him and he was down on the Main Street about a 15 minute walk away. Supposedly we should have been told we should meet him there but we never were. Wasted an hour..,

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hey, thanks very much for sharing your own experience , i apologize for you didn't understand the pickup information i send, i send you the pickup information to meet your driver at the HARBOR SHOP just about 3 minutes walk away from the MAIN GATE at the cruise port. A 15 minutes walk would take you all the way through the town of Ocho Rios. But I'm happy you enjoyed the day with your driver and we definitely look forward to see you both again. Stay safe.
