One of the Best Tours We’ve Ever Taken!
This was hands down one of the best tours we’ve ever done! Dalton was phenomenal. He didn’t just take us on a tour he gave us a real sightseeing experience around Ochi and made us feel right at home.
It honestly felt like meeting a long lost cousin for the first time, and he was showing us around his hometown! 😂 The whole experience was relaxed, fun, and genuine.
Dalton was super personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He made the entire day feel less like a tour and more like hanging out with family.
When we come back to Ochi, Jamaica 🇯🇲, we’re definitely requesting Quest Tours to take us out again!
Highly recommended! Respect, Dalton! 👊🏾🇯🇲

Amazing tour!
Our private tour in and around Ocho Rios was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Dalton was an incredible guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing Jamaica’s culture. We learned so much about local traditions, food, and even the different plants we passed along the way.
Honestly, we learned more in just a few hours on this tour than we did during the rest of our entire 7-day stay. Dalton made everything engaging and personal, answering all our questions and tailoring the experience to us.
If you’re visiting, this is an absolute must-do—we couldn’t recommend Dalton more!

Great slower paced tour
Perfect for older or disabled individuals who can get into the van with little difficulty. We enjoyed the slower paced tour and small stops along the way for refreshments, shopping and souvenirs with a nice bathroom stop. Our driver Andrew was fantastic!

Happy customer
All the staff were very helpful in getting my husband and me to the right place. My husband uses an electric scooter due to a stroke. They showed us where to park it. The driver, Albert also brought the van right to the curbside to pick us up. He was attentive and supported my husband throughout the entire tour. Albert's knowledge of Jamaica's history was very impressive. The comfortable van was also appreciated. Thanks for such a wonderful time in Jamaica.

Ochi is the place to be!!! Thanks, Dalton!
Dalton was AMAZING!!!! He started the with a joke but a serious goal, “by the end you should be half Jamaican,” and did not lie! 😂😂😂 My husband and I were in awe of all what we learned about the parishes and got to experience the culture in such an authentic way. We met some amazing business owners as well Along our travels.
