Would not recommend

Collette_C, Nov 2022

Wasn’t the greatest. Driver took us to a store that upped the prices on us then asked if we were done. I noticed we were headed back to our resort so I asked aren’t we suppose to go to multiple places and he replied he thought we were finished. So he then turned around and took us to a mall where we realized everything we had already bought was much cheaper. Waste of money and time. Should have just paid a taxi to take us shopping. Would not recommend this excursion.

All bad

Lesley_B, Sept 2022

The driver did very little talking on the tour and we stop at one place to stop. So for $30 it was not good for my money. Out of all my excursions Ryan was the best one out of all and that was a private custom tour.

This service is the best thing and worth every penny.

Ms_N, Aug 2022

This service is worth every penny. From the time you check in you are treated like a VIP. No long lines, personal service and makes leaving the country a breeze.

Know what you are buying… Ask questions

Angela_W, Dec 2021

Felt a little set up. Went for shopping and was taken to what looked to be rows of little huts of the locals that pressured you at every step. It was overwhelming and left a really bad taste in my throat. I was expecting stores and shopping areas. Not what I got.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

We apologize for the inconvenience. Please can send your booking reference number to reservations@holidayservicesltd.com for us to be able to conduct an investigation.

Best shopping trip value for money

DAWNM_C, Dec 2021

How knowledgeable the driver was. Considering other trips like this with other tour companies there was no hard sale or pressure to buy anything and we could shop etc at our leisure knowing we were in the safe hands of our driver.

The price is right

travelwithparadice, Nov 2021

The price was good to get out and see the city. The driver was quiet but pointed out a few things like Bolts restaurant. As others have said the first stop is overpriced. The view at the first stop was nice. The guy tried to sell me a bottle of Pure White for $150!!!! We almost didn’t get off on the Hip Strip I was hoping the park was a stop but it wasn’t. The last stop at the mall was more of the same but with slightly better prices. I guess I got what I paid for.

Worth it for the price

Jacqueline_P, Oct 2021

DEFINITELY wait till you get to the "hip strip" to do any shopping. All places have the same stuff however the 1st stop is OVER PRICED (however it has a great view) Our tour guide Rolando was excellent as well

GREAT day of shopping and Marvin is the best driver!!

Barbara_Leirer, Jun 2021

It took me a little while to get tour set up because originally they didn’t show picking up from my resort but finally we got it worked out. Our driver Marvin was OUTSTANDING! He was friendly, informative and most of all patient as we shopped and shopped! We never felt rushed. He took us to the best shops, then to Margaritaville for lunch and to a flea market. He pointed out many interesting places and supplied much history about Jamaica. It was a VERY enjoyable day. I highly recommend Marvin!

Request Jesse you wont be disappointed 🙂

Sharice_H, Jun 2021

Such an amazing experience!! My two cousin's and I had the pleasure of being taken on a shopping tour by Jesse. He was on time, extremely kind, and patient while we shopped. He showed us different parts of Montego bay ( beautiful houses in the up scale sections, historical sites, the market/shopping plaza of the common living areas, and the most breathtaking views where he took our photos. Jesse even took us to Margaritaville , a local restaurant for lunch, and an ice cream spot next to our resort. The best 10 bucks i have ever spent and definitely the highlight of my trip

Great Historical Trip

Rolanda_M, May 2021

Great tour. Our driver was very hospitable and even purchased fresh mangoes for us. The historical tour of Montego Bay was really nice too. Best $10 we spent and would def do it again...

Would definitely recommend if you want a mini tour and souvenirs

Shante_J, Jan 2021

Rolando was very nice and accommodating. He showed us different historical features of the city, and he took us to multiple gift shops and made sure we got everything we needed. The tour wasn't 4 hours long, but it was plenty time (2 hours), and well priced.

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Hello Shante, Thank you for your kind compliments and for taking the time to write this review. We truly appreciate it. We will certainly pass on the compliments to Rolando.... One Love.
