• 1Do not purchase

  I do not recommend this private tour. We purchased the tour expecting to meet with Nickoy Lumbley, who is the person we communicated with before the tour. He said that HE would pick us up at 10:30am and it would be a customized tour based on what we wanted to do. We explained that we wanted a tour that went over the history and culture of Jamaica and didn’t want to do anything touristy or go do major shopping. On the day of the tour, I got a phone call from someone else at 9:45 asking me where I was. I explained that I was supposed to start my tour with Nickoy at 10:30 and the person got angry with me for not being at the pickup point 45 minutes early and he told me that Nickoy asked him to do the tour instead. I tried to speak with Nickoy, but he just passed me back to the angry man, Darius. I ended up having to go with Darius, who was angry the whole tour. He had road rage, almost got into an accident, yelled at the other motorist, and was not an actual tour guide. He told us that he was giving us a city tour and didn’t actually know anything about history when asked. He brought us to a shopping plaza and left us in a store. Then he drove us around to look at houses. We feel like we were scammed and are very upset that our only day in Jamaica was spent with this person.

• 5Excellent Tour

  Nickoy was an amazing guide for our group. He was on time, friendly, and provided an authentic Jamaican experience from beginning to end. One of the highlights of the tour was being able to get away from the tourist-filled areas and see more of the real Jamaica. We enjoyed amazing views, experienced more of the local culture, and had some delicious, authentic Jamaican food along the way. Nickoy kept the experience relaxed and enjoyable while still making sure everyone stayed on schedule. He also made certain we returned to the cruise port early, leaving plenty of time before departure. We would absolutely book with Nickoy again on a future visit to Jamaica. For anyone looking for a dependable, personable guide who can provide a more authentic experience of the island, Nickoy/ Good Life Tours comes highly recommended!

• 5Made our Anniversary Better.

  The tour was custom and we got to see some great traditions and culture of Montego Bay! Our tour guide Decoy was fantastic. He even made adjustments to stay with us and make our experience for our anniversary even better!! Will use him for all future air port transfers when flying into Jamaica.

• 5Jamaica Closeup

  Nikoy was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about his home and shared much more than we anticipated! The personal touches- visiting his church and eating at one of his favorite restaurants gave an authenticity we were not expecting! When in Jamaica next time, we will definitely look for Nikoy!!!!

• 5Awesome customized experience at an unbeatable price.

  The custom Montego Bay tour exceeded our expectations from beginning to end! From the initial inquiry and booking process to the professional customer service and our return to the hotel, everything was exceptional. After booking, I had several questions and sent messages to make sure we would experience the things that were most important to us. Every message received a prompt and helpful response, which immediately gave me confidence that we had made the right choice. At pickup, our tour guide, Nickoy, arrived on time. The vehicle was immaculate, smelled fresh, and had a great variety of music. Nickoy explained everything we would be experiencing and made sure to incorporate the places and activities I had mentioned in my messages. He shared that he is the business owner and that customer service and customer satisfaction are his top priorities—and that was evident throughout our entire experience. We wanted to experience everyday life in Jamaica, and Nickoy provided us with an authentic and memorable experience. We traveled through various communities while learning fascinating cultural and historical facts. We visited the local market and downtown Montego Bay, Rose’s Plantation, the Jamaican Cultural Center, Dead End Beach, and many other local sites. We concluded the day with a mountain-top luncheon featuring local tastings and a unique shopping experience. On our return to the hotel, I mentioned my interest in touring the plantation. Nickoy generously offered to pick me up the following day and take me on the tour. That experience was also incredibly informative and enjoyable. If you are considering a tour in Montego Bay, I highly recommend booking a customized tour with Nickoy. His knowledge, professionalism, flexibility, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction made this an outstanding experience. I would definitely book with him again! I must also say top-notch and reasonable cost; unbeatable value. Thanks, Nickoy, for your hospitality.

About Montego Bay

Montego Bay, on Jamaica's northwest coast, is the island's best-known resort town, with reef-fringed beaches, rum-fuelled nights and green hills behind.

The beaches along the Hip Strip, as Gloucester Avenue is known, are the centre of seaside life, with clear water, bars and craft stalls, and Doctor's Cave Beach has drawn bathers for generations. Offshore, the Montego Bay Marine Park protects coral reefs and seagrass beds that reward snorkelling and glass-bottom boat trips.
