Great day out but description of whats included is not 100% accurate!
An absolutely lovely day out! The estate is situated in the mountains so the views on the way there are really something. Big shout out to our drover Donovan, who made the 6 hour round trip super relaxing and drove like a champ!
The tour its self was very informative and a great experience. Only real issue was that on arrivial we were told we only had the basic package booked even though the description clearly states its the extra package with the extra rums and free bottle included. We unfortuantely ended up having to pay extra for the full experience, so be aware when you go, the free bottle and extra rums are not part of this package!
Other than that a really great day out!

Great company
My family of 25 members recently returned from our family vacation in Montego Bay. Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours provided round trip ground transportation from the airport to the hotel for the various families arriving from various states in the USA. We had an amaizing time at the Appleton Estate. There was a lot of coordination of dates, times and a few flight changes. Shanice responded quickly to my texts and emails and worked everything out perfectly to provide safe, reliable on time transportation. I highly recommend Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours for all your transportation needs in Jamaica.

Book with Richie
We had the best time with Richie! We booked several excursions as long as he was gonna be the guide. He was very knowledgeable, personal, and a safe driver. He went over the call of duty with us and we’re grateful to have seen the island through his perspective. We have now officially adopted him into the family. Big up yourself General Richie. Thank you for everything Richie, give that man a raise!
Love Darryl and Cheryl Taylor

Thank you!
It’s hard to find trusted people when you travel that can be professional and not rip you off. The reason I say rip you off I spent the last two days shopping cabdrivers using cab drivers and this company is clearly the best one out there that can serve your needs while in Jamaica. Carlos Clarke was A breath of fresh air, he was professional allowed us to do what we needed to do and that was amazing.
As for the tour is a very long drive and a lot of Windee roads once you get to Appleton beautiful building inside the main headquarters everyone is very nice the total last around 30 to 40 minutes.
The food is a must as you get Jerk chicken and Jerk Pork for rice & peas and a bit salad.
The 21- year-old rum is worth buying the shot but not the bottle
