Jamaica Tours and Trips

Tish was an excellent tour leader and really looked after us. It's a great way to see Jamaica, visiting lots of places and a not too packed itinerary, so that you have enough downtime to enjoy Jamaica and to relax.

Despite a mishap in that my pickup at Kingston airport did not materialise through no fault of the local rep, I thoroughly enjoyed my trip across Jamaica. I was disappointed with the guide for not initially giving a general introduction of Jamaica and Jamaica life on our first days, but apart from that the guide fully ensured we kept to our schedule and that we made the most of our time in Jamaica. This trip was the perfect way to see the Island rather than being stuck in the same hotel with the very limited transportation options to other places that most UK tour companies offer for Jamaican holidays. To note though that the hotel and breakfasts did vary in their standards. Overall with the idyllic swimming locations, it was a very enjoyable trip indeed.

Good trip, itinerary. Good mix of included activities, optionals/free time. Average guide, rude. Didn’t provide information about the country unless specifically asked and then just rattle off some comments and was done with it. Great food. Hotels were good but some were distant from restaurants, so you were forced to eat at the hotels with their expensive rates or take a taxi into town… and oh! so many drivers. We were constantly changing vehicles and drivers throughout the trip. We had a tips kitty but we were constantly handling our own luggage at hotels, not sure what the tips kitty was used for on this trip, maybe the many drivers??

It is a real pity Jamaica has a bad reputation - our experience was really good. Tourists should use their common sense but we found locals to be friendly and welcoming. The pace was gentle and good if you go on holiday knackered from work !
