The tour everyone should do! The real Montego Bay and Jamaican history - Highly recommend this tour with Khrisann. We wanted to see some of the real Jamaica and Montego Bay outside of our resort so based on the excellent reviews we found about this tour, we booked it and were very glad that we did. Khrisann picked us up right on time and after we discussed the tour and anything we wanted to see or do, we set off in her very comfortable vehicle. We started with a tour of the Bay area and learned about some of the history, which was really interesting. We went into some neighbourhoods that Khrisann was very familiar with, where we saw a real contrast between how and where different communities live. We then went downtown into the middle of the city where we had the option of staying in the car or walking round. My partner took the option of a quick guided tour around the historical centre with again a very interesting history background explained. Because we had mentioned our interest in visiting old churches back in the UK, Khrisann then took us to one of the oldest churches in the Caribbean which we found very interesting, especially with the historical context. We toured around the Hip strip and took in the views from above, with Khrisann pointing out different locations both nearby and further afield. As we opted not to have lunch, Khrisann very kindly took us to a large supermarket for us to buy a couple of items to take home. Throughout our 4 hours with Khrisann, not only did she provide us with a snapshot of Montego Bay and Jamaican lifestyle, we also had a really interesting and thoughtful commentary about our surroundings, history and what life is like living and working in Jamaica. This led to very interesting conversations with Khrisann which made the trip for us as much as the tour did. Thank you again Khrisann for a most valuable and enjoyable trip, which we are so pleased we booked.

Off a cruise ship - We were a 3 generation family of 6 off a cruise ship. None of the cruise excursions interested us and/or were too rigorous for three 78 yr olds. Reading good reviews on Trip Advisor, we booked a private half day with a driver. Hussein, our driver, was very friendly, took us to high points in the city, showed us different neighborhoods, the farmer’s market, oldest church etc. We could get out or not. However with parking up close, easy little walk inside. We were asked if anything special and taken to a great little gift shop for a few souvenirs we were wanting to pick up. The van was roomy, well air conditioned, however we enjoyed opening windows also. Our only confusion was where we were to meet as they are not allowed inside the gated terminal but having his cell phone #, he instructed us.

Awesome tour. - The tour was amazing. We got to see the city of Montego Bay. We saw the city center and the history behind it and got some really cool gifts while stopping at a fruit market to get a fresh coconut. Our tour guide showed and named all the fruit trees grown in people backyard. I recommend this tour to all who visit Montego Bay!

Safe, Friendly, and Flexible. Highly recommend!! - Khrisann picked us up right outside the cruise port. We exchanged WhatsApp messages and calls before getting off the ship to coordinate pick up. At no point in time were we ever concerned about safety or being late for the ship. Khrisann made sure we were able to do exactly what we wanted and showed us the culture here in Montego Bay. That is the advantage of having a small private tour, it’s completely customizable. If we’re ever back in Jamaica we would use her again! Highly recommend Khrisann and this company for your visit to Montego Bay!! We also appreciated the fact that this is a small family owned business that works closely with other family owned businesses.

Jamaica off the beaten path - Khrissy was an excellent tour guide and tailored the experience to our interests. She took us outside of the standard tourists path and up into the hills. She was knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to spend time with. Next time we are here we will travel with her again!

This tour was FANTASTIC!... - This tour was FANTASTIC! Our guide picked us up right on time and took us of the beaten path giving us so much history of the area. I ask to go see Johnny Cash's estate and she made it happen. We will absolutely do another tour with them on our next visit to Jamaica.

Good tour - The tour was excellent. I took one star off because there was a lot of confusion about meeting our tour guide. It took us 40 minutes to find him. We were getting off a Norwegian ship. Our directions said to go through main terminal and the gate and look for person holding a sign. Royal Caribbean was docked at the main terminal. NCL was docked at a smaller terminal and I think our guides should know there are different terminals. We didn’t. After half an hour we found out had to take a shuttle to the main terminal from where we were. A wonderful dock worker helped us. The tour was good after that.
