Come idle a while with a Jamaican local who has the capacity to show off this amazingly beautiful tropical Island to travelers from all walks of life. I have worked in tourism for thirty years and have seen almost all the amazing sights and scenes that credits this Island as the "Pearl of the Caribbean" I am very knowledgeable of my country's history, statistics and current affairs. I have many years of experience in providing various groups and individual tours and packages to national and international travelers. I also endorse customized tours; "You create it, I make them happen". I also specialize in private tours, where travelers are more comfortable traveling and spending time with people they are comfortable with. As your private tour guide, time management is highly regarded, as some travelers, specifically cruise ship passengers have limited time to see and do all the things on their travel "wish list" So, come visit a farmers market, a rural community school, climb a cascading water falls, tread through a coconut or banana plantation, visit a quaint fishing village, ride through the hills with panoramic views of stunning landscapes, mountains and valleys or just simply lay on miles of white sand beaches. What ever your taste, it can be found in Jamaica, "the Heart-beat of the Caribbean". You are guaranteed complete satisfaction when I am chosen as your Jamaican tour guide!!!! ** IMPORTANT ** Driving distances between popular ports-of-call: FALMOUTH - OCHO RIOS: 1 hour MONTEGO BAY - OCHO RIOS: 1. 5 hours Licensed by the Jamaican Transport Authority.

I cannot say enough good things about Richard‘s tour. He picked us up at the hotel promptly and was full of information about the area that we did not know. He knew all the people at all the stops we went to, which made our tour, very personable and amazingly warm. He took us to a great spot for lunch that we would’ve not done normally on a big bus tour. We cannot wait to go back to Jamaica in part so we can have Richard show us around again. He is that great!! Do not hesitate to book a tour with him!!
Richard was an excellent tour guide. He was so entertaining and kind. My adult kids and teenage daughter thoroughly enjoyed his humor. His tour was a great Ocho Rios highlight, especially the Blue Hole excursion. I trusted his suggestion and it was a Win for our family. That was such a memorable adventure and Jay our guide was awesome. Richard was super accommodating too. This was a great tour and money well spent.
Richard is a great funny Guy 👍. We had a wonderful time during our Tour and had everytime a sage feeling. The Blue Hole experience was amazing. Thanks for this great day and we got a lot of Information.
Richard was awesome! Friendly, hilarious, engaging! I can't rave enough about him. He was able to accommodate our change in itinerary, as we ended up getting there a day later than expected (due to a medical emergency on our cruise ship). Richard worked with us to create a perfect day. I would 100% recommend him for a private tour. We will definitely book with him again the next time we are on the island!
We had a wonderful experience with Richard! He took us to all of the best places and was great with our kids.
