Albert was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the island’s culture. He picked us up in a timely fashion and took us back just the same. Jermaine was also a great captain for the rafting ride and provided a fun and vibe filled experience.
Thank you for your review, it was our pleasure hosting you all.
Gilmore our guide was fantastic, he shared with us lots of interesting facts on route to the excursion and made sure we were well taken care of so thank you very much to him. The river rafting experience was fantastic, it was me with my 14yr old son and the people that work there made it very fun for him. We had music playing on the raft, we stopped to go on a rope swing and he even had a go of steering the raft, scenery was also amazing! Everyone was very friendly, I’d give this experience 10/10.
Thank you so much for your review, we are happy to hear that you both had a memorable experience with us, it was a pleasure having you both 🇯🇲.
This was a great experience from the start. We were greeted by Albert at the port, who transported us in his spotless, very comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Identifiable by the Gilmore Tours logo. Albert was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, and we had some good convo. Once we arrived, he waited for us to finish and offered to take us nearby for food or shopping, at no additional cost. We however opted to head back to the ship, then visited the beach nearby. Our Bamboo rafting captain Oswin, steered us out and down the Rio Nuevo. During this time it was more shallow than expected, but smooth and enjoyable. Very peaceful, and we spotted quite a few birds. Oswin was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend using Gilmore tours, and if we return will request both gentlemen.
Thank you so much for your review, it was truly an honor to serve you both, and shared with you some of Jamaica's 🇯🇲 beauty, one love.
Our tour was excellent, very informative
Thank you for your review, glad you had a excellent experience with us, it a great pleasure having you both.
Albert provided me and my daughter with airport pick up and drop off service. He also took us to river rafting and drove us to Devon House in Kingston for ice cream. He is a skilled driver, very professional and friendly. I strongly recommend his service.
Thank you for your review, it is greatly appreciated. It was my greatest pleasure to serve you both 🇯🇲
The Bamboo River Tour in Ocho Rios was a beautiful and relaxing experience. The scenery was stunning, but what truly made it special was Albert’s amazing service. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make the tour enjoyable. He even stopped for Oce cream and fresh local fruits. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Albert made our whole vacation! He is the best <3!!! The bamboo rafting was a great experience with beautiful views
Thank you for your review, it was truly a privilege to have you.
Excellent all the way around! I traveled as a solo woman and felt safe, comfortable, and had such an amazing time! Mr Albert was great from pick up to drop off. He’s even able to accommodate quick pit stops to local restos if you are interested. I ended up taking a nap on my ride back and he played soothing music lol. I had a great time, my raft captain was fun and professional, and I was safe on the road with Mr Albert from start to finish. I’ll be reach out to him directly next time I’m in St Ann’s ☺️
Thank you, we are so happy you had an amazing experience with us,🇯🇲
Word would not explain how beautiful this was from my pick up at the Hotel to my drop off ! Big thank you to my Driver Albert .

I think if i did not experienced this my trip wlould have not been the same .
Thank you, thank you so much, it was truly an honor to meet you, I am happy you had a great experience with us.
Excellent tour guide, Albert was the best!!! Albert was knowledgeable, kind and friendly. He was very patient and stop at KFC for us to stopping picking Guniep off of the trip for us so we didn’t have to pay! 10/10 Albert was great and so was the Bamboo rafting. The only thing is, they charge extra for the lime massage which would have been too expensive for my family of 5 so we did not do that.
Thank you so much, it was truly my pleasure to serve you all, I am really happy you had a great experience with us.
