Itinerary
The Greenwood Great House (Plantation home) was constructed in the early 18th Century. Like most Great Houses in Jamaica, the Greenwood Great House was built at high elevation. Unlike Rose hall Great House, this house is not haunted but of a more peaceful, relaxing and elegant atmosphere. The history and the architecture of the house is what will blow you away. Arriving at the property you are greeted by one of their friendly resident guides who will walk you to the old English Pub where you get checked-in. After about 5 minutes it will be time to embark on your one hour tour. In this Great House you will find original 17th and 18th Century museum pieces that were carefully and deliberately crafted by extremely talented craftsmen. Pieces includes a piano that was custom built for King Edward the 7th, rocking chairs, polyphons, etc. You actually picture yourself in the 1700s while doing this tour. At the end of the tour, feel free to relax for awhile and have a beer in the pub.
This Rose Hall Great House is an early 18th century plantation home that sits on a high elevation on thousands of acres in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. The Rose Hall Great House was once owned by the famous and certainly one of the wickedest plantation owners to walk the land of Jamaica, Annie Palmer. She owned hundreds of slaves. Annie Palmer managed to kill three of her four husbands – she was strangled by the fourth. This house became haunted after her gruesome death in 1831. The house is scary to look at even in the daytime. On this tour there is no stop at the Rose Hall Haunted Mansion however, your tour guide will tell you the history and slow down so that you can take photos.
Scotchies Outdoor Garden Restaurant is undoubtedly the best jerk chicken and pork spots you can find anywhere. We recommend that you cap off your day’s activities with a stop for the ultimate jerk experience at Scotchies. The food is prepared with the whole family in mind so even the children can take advantage of this amazing experience of tender juicy pork and succulent chicken with festival. Steamed vegetable is also available for non-meat eaters. Don’t forget to challenge the homemade Scotchies specialty hot sauce made from local sun ripened Scotch Bonnet Pepper.

Our Driver, Coseley was on time to collect us from the hotel. He informed us of places along the route.
My excursion was cancelled due to lack of participants. I needed up going to Dunns Falls and Blue Hole
Dear Customer, Thanks for choosing SNL Jamaican Tours! Your business is very important to us! First let me express my regret that you did not get the chance to do the Greenwood Great House Tour which was your first choice. However, all of our "Shared" options requires a minimum number of persons - as stated in the "Voucher Details" section, for the tour to take place. Unfortunately, if we do not meet the minimum we will suggest one of three options: either for you to reschedule to another day, choose other activities or cancel if none of the others works for you. You chose the Blue Hole plus Secret Falls and Dunns River Falls combo. You did not tell us about your experience with this activity but I trust that you had a great time. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip so we can make it up to you! kind regards, Natalia McFarlane Manager
I contacted SNL Jamaican Tours before leaving home to arrange this tour while in port. Communication was good until I inquired as to what time for pickup and received no word back at all. This might be a lovely location to visit, but we never found out. For some reason all the other reviews in this feed no longer show up. Wonder why that is? I could not give the location a good rating as we were not picked up for the tour or told why the tour would not pick us up. The terrible rating is for SNL Jamaican Tours.
We had Lindsey as our guide, and he was great, we learned so much about Jamaica. The Great House is a must see, we had one guide for the two of us, so the house was ours to see, and the collections of music players, artifacts, furniture etc. is all just like it was when the house was active. Absolutely captivating experience.
