Fabulous time at Ricks Cafe!
We had a really amazing day out in Negril! Our driver/guide was very courteous and friendly and he made us feel very comfortable.
Beaches were beautiful and highlight was at Ricks Cafe! Lots of dancing, music and good food!
We stayed a little longer than we should have because we didn’t want to leave! He forgave us!
Highly recommend this tour..Don’t miss out!

Long day but worth it.
Cool-Dane looked after us for the whole day, respect. It's a long way to Negril from Ocho Rios but 7 mile beach is beautiful and Ricks Cafe definitely the place to be. Recommend Marvyns for a safe trip in a clean, comfortable vehicle 👌

Kenneth is so AWESOME
Our driver Kennth was so fun and accommodating. He picked us up on time and stopped along the way for us to grab food, towels and drinks. He was always available when we were at our locations and very kind. Kenneth went above and beyond to make this day trip so fun and exciting. I'm so happy that I booked with this company and so happy that the driver was Kenneth.

This was a scam and tour guide didn’t know Negril!
We booked this because it claims that we’ll receive a driver who knows the area and can show us around and that because we are booking a private tour we can change the itinerary. After already having communicated with the tour operator (who attempted to charge us $80 additional) about not wanting to go to Margaritaville and wanting to switch our itinerary , we are sent a driver who, well into our trip, states “I don’t know that side of the island well.” So, we couldn’t explore. But since we’re in a different country, hours away from our hotel, it’s not like we can take an Uber back. We were stuck. I reached out for a refund and was denied. But what kind of tour company has tour guides that can’t provide tours? And what kind of reputable company refuses to make it right @Trip Advisor/Viator?

Thanks for sharing your feedback, and thanks for choosing our services.
I think you might have had a misunderstanding about altering the tour. You were offered another activity around Ocho Rios for another day while on the island apart from the Negril day trip and you had stated that you wanted to site seeing around the area , that’s where the $80 charge came in , Not an additional charge for the Negril trip .
The tour you purchased online is a tour we do all the time and never had an issue with our clients regarding the drivers not knowing the area. Our Driver took you to the designated areas that is mentioned in the tour. Sorry we could not honor your refund request of a full amount due to “weather conditions “ after communicating with our driver who confirmed that the weather was perfect.
It was our pleasure providing our services to you , your feedback helps us to improve our services
Thanks

Great Day Trip
Kenneth was amazing, very attentive and friendly. This tour in particular is great because it's private and we were able to do things on our own time and not be tied to other families or couples. Kenneth was very accommodating for what we wanted to do. This is a long drive but Negril was beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The car was comfortable and Kenneth drove fantastic. Definitely a must!

Perfect Day Trip!
We did a private trip to YS Falls and the Appleton Estate (Rum Factory). Our driver Tyrone was amazing. Tyrone was very talkative and prided himself on telling us all about Jamaica as we cruised through the country side. We told him that we did not just want to sit in the car and he made a point of stopping often to take photos or sample some local food. At YS Falls and Appleton Tyrone was always a few steps behind in the background. Whenever we had a question he would magically appear to help us out. The same for photos. It never failed whenever we got near a photo op Tyrone would appear and take photos for us. One of the best guides we have ever had.

Highly recommended! Request Mr. T - he is very knowledgeable about the country! He made us feel at home. He is probably the best tour guide ever.
