No defined itinerary; no defined meal time; too long of a day

Maryjo_H, Oct 2024
We enjoyed Appleton Estates and YS Falls. I would have liked if the itinerary was spelled out on where and when we were going to each location and how long it would take to drive to and from each location. We opted to not go on the safari because we didn’t want to get back to hotel so late. There should’ve been defined meal times and stops for a 12 hour day. Patrick our driver was very nice.

Thank you for your review. We will look into your suggestions.

Great experience, highly recommended

Carl_C, Nov 2023
Patrick was fantastic…. Spending 8 hours driving the roads of Jamaica is not an easy thing but he did so amazingly well. Great guide, car was clean (and cool thank god!). Would highly recommend him and would use him again

For my first time in Jamaica I had such a great time at this tour! The driver was amazing, I got to see the sights and embrace the culture. I highly recommend this anyone traveling to Jamaica.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour.

Appleton estate was great...

Glendene_H, Oct 2023
Appleton estate was great and so was the safari, the falls was closed due to weather, but the pelican bay was ok.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for your review. Thank you for tour understanding about the weather and YS Falls and your flexibility in doing the Pelican Bar instead.

Great places to visit - definitely...

Beverley G, Aug 2017
Great places to visit - definitely worth the money doing this tour, as there was a lot of driving so probably wouldn't have managed to go to all of these places on our own. Let go of the rope and jump off at YS Falls! It's thrilling be very careful of the sharp rocks you fall onto/walk on though!. Tour guide a bit miserable, but would do this tour again.
