Highlights
  • Sam Sharpe Square - Your afternoon and evening tour begins with hotel pickup in Negril, the Grand Palladium resort in Lucea or Montego Bay (depending on option selected); if you’re picked up in Negril or at Grand Palladium, enjoy the drive along Jamaica’s beautiful northern coast to Montego Bay.

When you arrive in Mobay, as it’s commonly called by the locals, get to know the city on a one-hour sightseeing tour to attractions like Sam Sharpe Square, named after a slave leader who led the revolt known as the Christmas Slave Rebellion in 1831. Walk around the square, admiring the statue of Sam Sharpe, the St James Museum and the surrounding colonial buildings.

Then check out St James Parish Church, one of Jamaica’s finest churches with its stained glass and sculptures by English artist John Bacon, and take a drive through residential areas to marvel at the Georgian homes that date back to the glorious sugar-trading days

  • Rose Hall Great House - Next, the second portion of your combo begins with the 15-minute drive to Rose Hall Great House, an 18th-century Georgian mansion made famous by the legend of Annie Palmer, the
    ‘White Witch of Rose Hall.’ According to the tale, Annie killed her three husbands and several slave lovers before being killed herself in her bed. During your one-hour candlelit tour through the mansion, listen to the story and find out for yourself if Annie truly haunts the house, which also boasts period furnishings for you to admire.

I only had a limited time but the driver did his best - I only had a limited time before catching the flight to come back to the US. The driver did his best to visit all places in the itinerary. This was a good tour to learn about the history of Jamaica and Rose Hall Great House in just a couple of hours.

Interesting historical tour - Interesting tour. You can really feel the eeriness and sadness of the events that transpired when touring the estate. Our tour guide was knowledgable at the Rose Hall house, as was Michael, our tour guide for Montego Bay.

Great once we were admitted. - We were delayed because 1st venue had no record of our paid admission and it took 20+ minutes to finally confirm the 5 of us on the tour.

Not good value - The tour started off well, our driver was very friendly, knowledgeable, and on time. It ended up being just my fiance and I for the tour, which was a bonus. However, for $80USD each this tour did not come close to being good value. We did a 20 minute tour of Rose Hall,( the reg. cost of which is $27) then stopped at St. James Parish church for 10 mins, then a junky souvenir store. That was it for the tour! Our driver was nice enough to stop at a supermarket so we could buy a few supplies, but in all we spent a few hours in a van and didn't see much.

Terrible value and guide was unethical - I would not recommend this at all. You can get a taxi for about $10 and pay another $7 for admission. The tour company Holiday Services was contracted out through Tripadvisor. This company had the guide drive to downtown to try to give better value, but the downtown area was not that impressive and I could have bought a taxi for about $15 to go there. Once we made it downtown the guide told us to get out of his car and he introduced us to his friend and insisted we go with his friend. We walked a few feet to go inside a museum in which this "friend" talked to us about the hotel, but I did not need a tour guide to talk to me about a museum as there were employees inside. He takes us back outside and insists that we give him money for walking us 100 feet inside a hotel and then introduces us to other beggars so they too can get money from us. I felt hopeless as many people were begging for money and I had to tell them no and then they called me names because I would not give them money. I felt like this is a routine by the driver and Holiday Services should fire the driver as I feel he does this intentionally all the time.
