Best tour in ocho rios!!
Carl, Akeem and Gregory were the best guides we could’ve had. We had so much fun. We were never rushed, and they took us on several side. adventures. I would definitely book this again and recommend to anyone.

Charged us then never showed up and never contacted us it was canceled.
We booked a Dunn's River Falls excursion with Island Routes from with hotel pickup. We were charged but notified it was tentative due to needing 4 guests. We were emailed they would notify us no later than 48 hours in advance of the tour. They never did. We contacted them the next morning by email and were told it was still tentative. We did the same the night before the excursion and were told the same. The morning of the excursion we still had not heard whether or not the excursion would occur so we called several times but the line was busy. There was a conformation of our booking on our phone display. We waited at the pickup location for an hour and a half and emailed them again. They said the tour was still tentative- an hour and a half after our pick up time and a half an hour after the tour was supposed to start! The only contact we had with them was contact we initiated. The front desk person at our hotel asked us who we were waiting for and when we stated Island Routes- she said "Oh, you'll wait for them all day". Don't waste your precious vacation time!

YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!
TRACY WAS FANTASTIC!!! Our family of four was in great hands and had THE BEST TIME!!! She EXPERTLY guided us on our ENTIRE journey! From preparing my husband to drive the mini, to giving us amazing history and highlights through the walkie talkie the entire time, getting us set to explore Dunn's River Falls, and just being an awesome guide! The entire experience was great and WE WILL BE BACK to do the Negril Mini Tour the next time we are in Jamaica!

Unforgettable experience
What an unforgettable experience! This allowed you to drive the mini cooper all the way to Ocho Rios and back. Don't worry about the drive - you get used to it and the tour guide guides you every step of the way. Big families or those with young ones (younger than 7) traveling with a baby stroller may wish to upgrade their ride to a spacious vehicle and confirm this ahead of time.

Scam
We had booked this mini cooper tour from runaway bay to OchoRios For 4 for a modest $500 (for two the tour costs $325, , we were asked to be ready by 7:30 , the driver was informed to be at 8:30 ,,,, the tour included a mini cooper ride on a road with a beautiful scenery Dunns Falls , a meal in a restaurant and a shopping session; we drove on a winding road in jn wood , and retraced our steps Nonstop , so we couldn't observe the beautiful landscape of Jamaica , They then took us to Dunns Falls ( super nice experience ) our guide informed us that we would be achalled by the pedleur on the edge of the site at the exits and not touch anything they offered us because we had to buy if they dropped it in our hands She then took us to eat at a very cute little restaurant, offering us shopping We had asked her for a place where we could buy a drink without getting fooled ,,,, so she took us to a souvenir store where they sell drinks , Without being insistent they made us taste plenty of rum cream , So we bought our alcohol thinking the prices were good We even negotiated , 80$ for a bottle of rum and 55 for rum cream , When we arrived at the airport we went to see the prices of these same alcohol 13$ for rum cream and 20$ for rum
(yes yes it's probably our fault this scam, it probably had a rating on our purchases our tourist guide Marcy
But since we asked her for a place where we'd get good prices for our alcohol, she's got a lot of fun laughing at us,
Dunns Falls entrance price about $52
Anyway for 45 min of driving, while we are told that we drive from runaway bay to ochorios
Park In total we had car a ochorios and we drove for a short time we never had the side of Jamaican dessert Never had water The complete visit to last barely 3:30 in total while the ad mentions 6:30
The hotel will have to withdraw this escapade which is only a scam

Unforgettable Jamaican adventure
My wife and I had a fantastic time on this tour/Jamaican job!!! The tour guides (Marlon and Tracy) made this trip especially enjoyable and unique. Not only did they make sure the drive was safe and comfortable, but they also kept us entertained the whole ride there and back. They were very accommodating to our requests and needs. Would highly recommend this guided trip for any foodies, couples, or anyone wanting to explore Jamaica in a unique and private way! The food (miss Ts and pudding/bread house) was a highlight for us!
Thank you Marlon and Tracy! Till next time… yah mon…

Montego Bay Jamaica
Had a great time on this trip. Nice to drive your own vehicle with a guide leading the way. Met some great people and enjoyed our day. Thank you to Marlon and Tracy for all your help navigating all those CJ's. LOL. It was a terrific day even with the liquid sunshine.

Awesome way to see the island
We loved the Nigrel Mini Cooper tour so much that we signed up again to do the Mini Cooper tour to Ocho Rios
We got VIP status for sure. Traveling this side of island showed so much beautiful countryside. We enjoyed the Dunn falls hike up the waterfalls with our personal guide. I normally hate water on my face but I decided to get the most of the experience and was fully immersed in waterfalls lol. We stopped for local patties which were like a giant fresh hot pocket and a local bakery where they cook outside in tire rims. Our tour guide Tracy and lead driver Marlin were awesome. They gave us a local genuine Jamaica experience with much love and we got to drive on the wrong side of the road. Much love to Tracy and Marlin, life long friends now!!
