Nickoy was absolutely brilliant guide his knowledge of Montego Bay & Jamaica was extensive. Great part he asked what we would like to do, we asked to see not only the tourists highlights but the way they live. Followed by a great locals Restraunt. We had a great day and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anybody wanting. Small personalised tour.

We had an excellent time with Nickoy. He was the best. Very knowledgeable, kind and knew exactly where we wanted to go. He showed us places that we’ve never seen before. He even brought us to his hometown. It was lovely and I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Perfect Tour to see the REAL Montego Bay

Janelle_M, May 2026

You know when you are visiting a new country and want to see and experience authentic culture and sights? We do this often in other countries and Nickoy was the perfect guide in Montego Bay. So kind, friendly and proud of his community. He made sure the tour was exactly what we hoped for. Seeing local communities, impacts of hurricane melissa, the culture, incredible food, history. We never felt rushed and had the absolute best time welcoming our first day to Montego Bay. As we get ready to go home and look back at our incredible trip, this was definitely a highlight. If you can request Nickoy, I would highly recommend him.

Perfect day

Scott_K, May 2026

Knowledgeable and friendly! Would recommend to anyone and everyone visiting Montego Bay! Beautiful town with very rich history

I had an amazing time!...

Tyesha_S, May 2026

I had an amazing time! As a female solo traveler, I felt very safe with Nikoy. Highly recommend! I’ll suggest checking out the Montego Bay Cultural Centre!

Montego Bay tour with Nickoy

High Rise

Ty_R, May 2026

Very fun! Our tour winded up turning into another fun adventure. Nickoy is very knowledgeable about the history of his home. Montego Bay has some interesting stories and I thoroughly enjoyed listening. Nickoy is a great guide and customizes the tour to your wants and needs. We will book again next time we’re in Jamaica.

Amazing private tour

Ayesha_F, Apr 2026

Amazing custom tour, we snagged tickets the day before and so glad we did. We reached out to Nickoy that same night to customize our tour and we were happily accommodated. We had Darein as our driver and he was amazing. He was very informational, generous, and stayed with us the whole time. He took us to local spots that corresponded with our tour and got us back in time for our cruise. Will definitely be rebooking in the future!

The absolute BEST

Maya_C, Apr 2026

Traveled with my husband and our two kids (5 and 9) and we could not have had a better experience. I am the coordinator for our family and travel often and I searched high and low for the best possible guide for one of my most loved cities, Montego Bay. This was the best option by far and there is NO BETTER option. You will be safe. You will be cared for. And you will get an authentic and fun experience.

5 stars!

Erin_W, Apr 2026

Nickoy was fantastic! We were able to see so much of Montego Bay. Nickoy was able to share so much history and facts about the region. He also was really open to customizing what we did; I had two teenage boys with me and we leaned into the culture and food. And the food! He took us to some great spots and Jamaican food did not disappoint! Such a great day, highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time...

Jamie_K, Mar 2026

We had a fantastic time with Nic in Montego Bay. He showed us all aspects of life there and we ended up going for a delicious lunch.

Amazing Jamaica Day

Lori, Mar 2026

Nickoy was amazing! He gave us exactly what we wanted in a private tour. I real look at life in Jamaica, history, food, and shopping. I would highly recommend!!!

LaShay_G, Mar 2026

Koy was so friendly and personable! He kept the conversation going the entire time and was a complete vibe. He also tailored the experience to exactly what we wanted.

Great, Accessible, tour

Rachael_C, Mar 2026

Our guide was Darrien and he was fantastic. He was friendly and helped us to determine the best tour taking into account my partner's disability and use of a wheelchair.

Our best Caribbean Tour of the Trip

Melissa_S, Mar 2026

We woke this morning with the news our Ship could not dock at Montego Bay and was going to Falmouth Port instead. This was such a disappointment however I contacted Nikoy who rearranged things and picked us up anyway, some 30” from our original meeting point. We agreed to take another couple who were left without a Tour and had a great few hours, seeing everything Montego Bay had to offer. Thank you Nikoy for a great tour and for showing us your beautiful home country of Jamaica 🇯🇲. Yeh man 😉

Montego Bay Private tour

Rory_B, Feb 2026

We canceled our scheduled short excursion from the cruise ship because the buses that were taking passengers could not accommodate a walker. The private tour with Niko Lumbly I love us too keep the walker without worrying about its storage and give us the opportunity to see several of the up the hill neighborhoods were ordinary, Montego Indians live. Nick couldn’t have been more friendly and informative, and we finished up our three hour tour at one of his favorite restaurants were seemed to be the only tourists and enjoyed food that was good, and the view of the bay was fine. The gift shop we stopped at was designed for people who love to bargain and deal with obnoxious high pressure “helpers” in the store. Viator is lucky to have someone like new Koi available to show people around.

If you really want to see...

Debbie_L, Feb 2026

If you really want to see the real Jamaica this tour is amazing Nikoy was a fabulous guide and we would recommend this to everyone

Amazing Tour!

Samuel_D, Jan 2026

Nichoy was an awesome tour guide. You can definitely tell that he loves his country and community. He went out of his way and tailored the tour exactly to what we wanted. We got to see all sides of Montego Bay, and he is very personable and it was like hanging out with a friend. Highly recommend him to anyone who has a trip to Montego Bay!

Learning about the real MoBay

Darius_W, Jan 2026

Koi was very knowledgeable about the city and didn’t hesitate to take us around the tourist and non-tourist locations to interact with the wonderful people of this island. His relationships with folks eased us in regards to safety and he introduced us to elders in the community who shared a bit about life here in MoBay. This authenticity was something I was craving and I’m happy to say Koi provided for us. He also taught us patois and I left the experience feeling a bit more connected. I would recommend booking specifically with him. His energy and vibe was amazing! Thanks Koi!

Awesome day in mobay with "J"!

sobrien, Jan 2026

Last minute booking thru Nickoy and had a wonderful day with J our guide. We visited Rose Hall, had a great stop for some blue mountain coffee and even had time for doctors cave/hip strip. J was great company and a wonderful ambassador for Jamaica! Highly recommended.

Exceeded our expectations!

Judy_R, Jan 2026

This experience had very good reviews, so I anticipated being given a tour that I enjoyed; however, Nickoy exceeded my expectations. He is both professional and courteous, and his prices are reasonable. Having spent his life in Montego Bay, it is obvious, by his demeanor, that he genuinely enjoys sharing his city with others. Initially, I planned to go alone, and I was pleased to see that the price for a solo traveler was half the price for two, as such is not the case for many, if not most, Viator experiences. My friend decided to join me, so we each paid the advertised price, which we both deemed very reasonable. Nickoy would have happily accommodated our requests to visit specific destinations, but we allowed him to plan our time, and we couldn't have been more pleased. After three hours together, I feel as though we came away with a true sense of the culture and cuisine of Montego Bay. We saw interesting sites and beautiful views, and enjoyed a yummy lunch at a local restaurant. I have recommended Nickoy to others on our cruise ship who spend time in Jamaica, and I hope to return, so that I may reserve his time and see more of Saint James Parish and other parishes.

Pure Jamaican Joy!

Leticia_M, Dec 2025

If we could give 10 more stars, we would! Nickoy’s love and joy for his family, community and country are present in every aspect of the tour. He is rich with knowledge and experience to share. He was timely, courteous, funny, safe and pure joy to tour with. There was never any pressure and he personalized the tour to our interests. We highly recommended Nickoy and the cultural tour.

First time there really...

Daisy_H, Sep 2025

First time there really enjoyed my stay our guide was very informative n knowledgeable about the island great job..also we stopped at one of the locals for lunch

Highly recommended!

Carla_M, Sep 2025

Nickoy was an excellent host! His private tour was inspiring and I highly recommend him and his company if you want to experience Montego Bay’s history and culture. He is also very flexible with requests to visit anywhere you want to go!

Our guide Nikoy was very...

Edythe_F, Aug 2025

Our guide Nikoy was very accommodating, warm and knowledgeable. We had a great time and was able stop and explore different areas. He recommended Peppa's for fried fish and it was delicious. I will be sure to contact him for any future trips.

Great Tour

Mark_H, Jul 2025

I corresponded with Nickoy and Goodlifetours for about a month prior to my actual trip. All my questions were answered promptly. I put together a customized tour for 3 1/2 hours providing him with the places I wanted to see while Montego Bay. He was able to meet all of my needs. The day the actual tour he was unexpectedly unavailable, and he sent an associate of his J in his place. J was wonderful and very attentive to our needs and met all of the agenda previously set with Nickoy. At the end of the tour, we budgeted time to make a stop at an excellent souvenir gift store. We were able to purchase rum for 25% less, Coffee about 45% less and T-shirts about 65% less than what we would have paid at the resort we were staying at. I would recommend working with these two gentlemen, as it was definitely a good deal.

Excellent tour with knowledgeable and compassionate guide

Uche_E, Jul 2025

Highly Informative and interesting tour of Mobay that included Rose Hall tour, exploration of different neighborhoods, overview of Jamaican history, and a bit of souvenir shopping. I booked the tour at the last minute when another tour fell through. Nickody personally ensured that I had an excellent tour. His love for and knowledge of Jamaican history and culture was readily apparent and the tour time just flew by. If you are in Mobay, take this highly recommended tour- you will definitely enjoy it!

Nickoy is your man for the job! Use him for any cab services as well!

Elvera_J, Jun 2025

Nickoy is your guy for a tour around Montego Bay, and the go to guy for taxi cab services. Nickoy is very reliable, professional, diplomatic, friendly and trustworthy. Have no fear of being scammed or harmed when requesting his services. Nickoy is native to the region, therefore there is no better person to show you what Jamaica is actually is. He knows all the good/safe shops, places etc. wish we would have hired Nickoy two days earlier, because we have been disappointed with other taxi drivers. We took Nickoys phone number to be able to contact him directly for any and all cab services or round tours.

Great Day in Montego Bay!

Derick_B, Jun 2025

What a great day in Montego Bay! Our tour and conversations with Nickoy were so pleasant and informative. For those who want to see and learn more than a standard Cruise related excursion, I would highly recommend spending some time with Nickoy. Thanks so much for customizing to our family!
