Overall rating

We had a tour for two. Our guide picked us up on time at 3:30 p.m. We drove to different parts of the city and everything was explained to us. Since we don't speak the language very well, everything was explained to us several times until we really understood everything about the country and the people. We bought things in the souvenir shop and were then taken to the back door on a balcony: the view is priceless!!! To the haunted house: very interesting tour but a bit "special" as it has "ghosts". Afterwards we went to the blue lagoon, which was also OK. Back at 10 p.m. A very interesting tour for us and thanks again to our really courteous guide Lance.

Tony our driver was brilliant. It was just us on the tour so he adapted it to meet our needs. The Rose Hall Tour was an experience not to be missed. We chose to add on the lagoon trip which was great to do at the end of the experience rather than doing it as a stand alone. Definitely recommend this tour.

10/10 I recommend the night tour of the house, incredible! Thanks to Kayla who was a great guide. Bring cash, Jamaicans live on tips. To visit the city, it is best to do it on foot without a guide.

The city tour with Michael was very good,very friendly. And he knows everything about island. We will recommend this’s tour. Thank you.

The tour was a bit of a history lesson about the Rose Hall Plantation and Annie Palmer ghost story. It was a good tour.
