  • 5Book with Hussein!

    My husband and I had the best tour ever! We requested more of a history tour of Jamaica and he accommodated us in every way. We even requested to go to the local market and ate mango. We highly recommend!

  • 5Great day in Jamaica

    Husein was a wonderful guide. Just make sure you know where to meet him and how to reach him before you set sail on your cruise. (469) 742-1687 Husein Montique We had no wifi on board and didn't get an email from him until the day before our tour (which we missed because we had no wifi). Also make sure that you know what you want to see in Jamaica in advance. He took us to many local spots which was awesome and he was very informative but we ended our tour early because we didn't know where else to go. He's very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Khrisann was great for us. We did the half day private and she took us away from the usual tourist spots and showed us what Montego Bay really was like. A member of our party has a medical episode and she was super supportive and handled it with classGreat views, great information, and great experience! Definitely would do again!

    Great tour! Our guide was super nice, patient, and showed us so much. We had a fun and informative day. My only suggestion would be to use a small microphone and speaker on the bus because it was hard to hear over the background noise. Overall, we had a great experience!
