She was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable. She actually taught me a lot, but I didn't know about Jamaica. She even went above and beyond and gave us some of their currency because every time we visit a new country, my wife likes to collect the currency there. We definitely plan coming back and we will definitely book her again to see a lot of the hidden gems of Jamaica. And if you wanna know the in's and out's about Jamaica the good and the bad. She's definitely a great guide because most tours will only show you the good. I will definitely recommend her for anybody that is visiting in Jamaica. I'm only mad that I didn't get to enjoy more time there due to our cruise time and that I'm only able to give her five stars because if it was up to me, she deserved more than that.

I must say Jamaica is absolutely beautiful. I went on a cruise with 5 friends, so did not have that much time to see the island……..but the blue hole was amazing. Thanks to Amanda we were able to enjoy that, and she brought us to get some Jamaican patties. Great personality!!
