Patrick was great! He made sure we had everything we needed and were comfortable during the drive. We stayed in Montego Bay and Appleton Estate was 2 1/2 hours from our hotel. Patrick made a stop along the way and we had some great juici patties at a rest stop! We truly had a great time at the Appleton Estate learning about the rum making process and seeing the sights at the Pelican Bar. The Pelican Bar was located in the middle of the ocean (took a boat to the bar) and we had some great food and Red Stripes there. Overall, great experience! Would definitely recommend.
