Guides such as Marc, Wayne, Adrian, Cedrick, and Dale are praised for local insight, food stops, and flexible service.

“We had a fantastic time with our excursion. This was very much in part to Cedrick our AWESOME guide. I do not know if you can request specific guides, but if you can, we cannot stress enough how Cedrick made this day wonderful. We wanted to try more food and experience more of the Jamaican foot and Cedrick made that happen. He helped us to try the non-resort side of Jamaica throughout the day. We tried great pattys, fruit, chicken, pork, and more! HIs outlook on life, great conversation, and general demeanor made everything top notch. We ended up doing the Appleton Rum Estate, Y.S. Falls, and the Pelican Bar…”
