Montego Bay with a knowledgeable guide

The tour was very informative, it gave us a good impression of the city of Montego. The guide was very knowledgeable and could show us many areas of this city, including its dark side. Unfortunately, Rose Hall was not to be visited since Sunday. Tour can be recommended further.

Fun and Informative

Rudy was so professional but also entertaining the entire time. He took us through a variety of neighborhoods in Montego Bay and gave us the history and stopped at multiple historical landmarks to learn more about them. We even had a chance to do some shopping. The air conditioned vehicle was a huge bonus, with pickup and drop off back at our hotel. I would recommend this tour to friends and anyone wanting to learn about Montego Bay from a local that knows the culture best!

Operator response

It's always welcoming to have travelers feel the authenticity of the real Jamaica and know it was worth the experience. Thanks Guys and have a great rest of the day. Ya Mon!

The Love of Jamaica with Rudy

Rudy Knows Jamaica was a great experience and really knows Jamaica. From booking a romantic dinner over looking the ocean and hills of Jamaica to waterfalls jumping off a cliff at Bluehole.

Greatest time thanks to Rudy

Best tour driver we ever had from being on time staying with us the whole time. Gave us a history lesson every time we drove by important place like Usain Bolt high school. Anytime we want to go somewhere no matter time it was he and his company was there. I will definitely use him and recommend anyone going to Jamaica to use his services
