About
This is a cashless hassle free day tour that goes through the mountainous terrain of Jamaica south coast, and passes under over lapping tunnel of Bambo going to the Rum estate.Which is a perfect spot to endorse our local rum drinking moment. Then we drive to the cool beautiful river water which is Y S Falls to dive in after an exhausted alcohol and sun tour at rum factory. Throughout that attraction, lunch is available.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Valerie A0 contributionsBest driver!!Leon was amazing!!!! Although we got there late he still waited for us and was super understanding. On the trip he pointed out historic sites which made the ride more pleasurable. He communicated on pick up time for our return flight and was on time. I would definitely book with him again.Written 1 February 2025
- valeriefW9978IQ0 contributionsBest Transportation Service in JamaicaWe vacation in Jamaica every year and we trust Jamaica Experience Tour for our round trip transfers from the airport. Our driver is always on time and very responsive.Written 27 January 2025
- 167megany0 contributionsUse this Transportation AgainIf you need transportation anywhere when in Montego Bay, I recommend Leon. He is nice, attentive, has a clean van, communicates in a timely fashion, and we would use him again.Written 26 January 2025
- kellydunwoody0 contributionsOn time, friendly and fast transfer from airport to resortsLeon is fantastic! He is friendly and treats his return customers like family reunions. He is able to take his customers anywhere they need to go between airport and resorts. He was on time and also helped with some knowledge and information about the area :) We’ll definitely be using Leon the next time we go back to JamaicaWritten 20 January 2025
- amandatW3003BN0 contributionsRasta Pasta made our dayRanaldo "Rasta Pasta" was our captain. He was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the local area and plants and animals. He did a great job on the massages. He was a lot of fun to chat with and did a great job taking us down the river and introducing us to the local culture. We would be happy to go back and see him again!Written 15 January 2025
- Arturo V0 contributionsAmazing TourLeon is the best! Great experience 10/10. The river ride was very relaxing and the scenery was amazing. I would do it again.Written 12 January 2025
- T4499YYalexisc0 contributionsBest driverLeon was our driver and was amazing! They had great energy and definitely is a people person. We were given facts about different things on the way to the caves and even were allowed to stop on the side of a road real quick to take a picture of a nice view. Even though Columbus park is closed right now, we still stopped to look at the little pieces visible from outside and still got a quick rundown of what was inside. Even though we didn’t do that specific tour, we heard mixed reviews about the glowing Lagoon and Leon was the only driver to tell us that if the weather conditions aren’t optimal to see the glow they would not go on the tour at all which felt very honest compared to everyone else. On the way back to our hotels, another group wanted to go to a beach and was allowed to stop even though they later changed their minds. After they were dropped off we asked if it was possible to stop at kfc on the way to our hotel and we were given the chance to! Even though the wait is very long at kfc Leon still waited outside for us to get our food. I would definitely book again on my next trip here !Written 8 January 2025
- Traveler438499616850 contributionsPrivate tour bus - JamaicaWe came into Montego Bay on a cruise ship. Leon picked us up and whisked our entire family (9) to the Blue Hole as well as Dunn’s River Falls. We knew we were trying to cover a lot of ground but Leon got us to both and back to the ship on time. For times sake I would recommend to others to not try to attempt both of those stops. If you just have to see Dunn’s River Falls and want to get all the way to the top of the falls the crowds are ridiculous so you better spend all your time there. If you are ok doing the jumps and swimming at Blue Hole and just want to view Dunn’s River then there is plenty of time. Better bring snacks and drinks with you. It’s a couple hour drive each way. Leon does a good job of giving you the timeframe when you have to be back on the bus. If we were back at that cruise port I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.Written 6 January 2025
- brucesK3977BN0 contributionsGood food Great timesWOW! What a wonderful experience Jmann is the ultimate guide. The 3-hour personal driven TOUR WAS EPIC. He took me to all parts of the city from the highest point to the Lowe's. I would suggest you that this tour because of the culture and the great food at the end. Thanks Jmann the ULTIMATE GUIDE!Written 29 December 2024
- brynnans20240 contributionsFun in montego bayA really fun and quick excursion, our guide jay was extremely kind and informative making for an excellent guide. I would recommend this to any family looking for an authentic view of montego.Written 29 December 2024
- taaliw20240 contributionsAmazingAmazing communication with Leon. Our flight was delayed but we wasn’t able to tell him but he used his initiative, tracked our flight and still picked us up on time. He let us know where our local supermarkets/fast food outlets were whilst driving us to our location.Written 29 December 2024
- 223priyankan0 contributionsMontego Bay City TourI had the most incredible experience touring Montego Bay with Leon ! From the moment we were picked up, he made us feel welcome and comfortable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, which made the tour both educational and fun. We visited the famous Rose Hall, enjoyed a breathtaking view from Richmond Hill, and even stopped to see the local fruits. What stood out most was Leon’s attention to detail and willingness to customize the tour based on our interests. If you’re visiting Montego Bay, I highly recommend booking a tour with Leon. You won’t regret it!Written 28 December 2024
- niketh900 contributionsGreat guy and an awesome tourLeon was amazing! He took us around Montego Bay, showing us exotic fruits and beautiful houses in the area. We also enjoyed shopping at the Hip Strip, and he even dropped us at a grocery store for some budget-friendly shopping. Such a great guy—friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. When we come back, we’ll definitely be calling you again, brother! Highly recommend Leon for anyone visiting Montego Bay.Written 22 December 2024
- juancarlosmW6672YD0 contributionsTour w/ a side of good Jamaican food!Leon was an excepcional tour guide! My family and I really enjoyed our tour and he personalized it to what we wanted to see and do as a family. It turned into a semi-food tour. By far the most worth it thing we’ve purchased in Jamaica!!Written 21 December 2024
- K8629NTvictoriaa0 contributionsBEST TOUR GUIDE IN JAMAICALeon is an exceptional tour guide! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with my family. I’m a young woman that came with my fiancé, two younger adult brothers and my mom. Leon could easily relate to all of us and everyone really enjoyed themselves on this tour. We were already trying to tour Jamaica for a few days on our own and we could not have seen even 20% of what we saw without Leon as our tour guide. He truly customized our experience to what we wanted and since my family is a big “health nut”, we stopped at Proactive Lifestyle to look around and buy some produce. We also went to go each jerk chicken and festival (yummy)! He showed us a view of the city from the top and the airplanes landing and we drove through many parts of Montego Bay from Freeport to West village to Ironshore to town square and more. I could keep going on and on, but in totally I just want to say this well worth the tour money and Leon is a grate human being and very knowledgeable of Jamaica and the world as a whole. Wish I could give him 10 stars! ⭐️Written 21 December 2024

Leon took very good care of us the whole week in Jamaica. Excellent driver but scared me a few times! Lol Loved that Leon always let us experience the off the beaten path of Jamaica and hang out with the locals. South Coast is very beautiful and plenty of seafood restaurants. Pelican Bar was ok. Would I go back there again NO. FYI they only except cash and definitely get the prices of their food if you don't want to be scammed out of your money. Trust me the 3 of us ended up paying $25 a piece for ONE ORDER OF WINGS & FRIED SHRIMP which is $25 for ONE ORDER not $25 / person because my friends shared with me ! STRAIGHT CROOKS!!!!!! But besides that enjoyed the day and just chuck the lost as an experience & lesson learned.

I planned a spring break trip in Montego Bay that happily coincided with my Jamaican mom's 70 something birthday. Appleton Estates has been on our bucket list for some time, but we were a little nervous to book the long ride. In addition to my mom we traveled as a large group with 3 kids under 6 so I needed to be sure that any driver or tour we scheduled was going to be prompt and cautious with such a wide range of ages. I am so grateful that I found Leon on Tripadvisor. He was engaging, knew everything about the towns we went through, pointed out historic buildings and plots of land, his vehicle was comfortable and super clean, and he was so very caring about everyone in our party.
The roads to Appleton and YS Falls take you on country roads over the mountains, so you really need to go with an expert who drives those roads, and knows the people and the towns. Additionally, two of the children were not accustomed to mountain roads and got sick with motion sickness. Leon pulled over mulitple times and waited patiently, so that they could be cleaned up, and stopped again when we reached a town so that he could purchase non alcoholic ginger beer for their tummies, We did not ask him to do this, he did it on his own accord and we so appreciated how caring he is. I can't imagine taking that trip with anyone else at the wheel. Anyway - the kids rallied like nothing ever happened and had a great time tasting cane juice, seeing the donkey, and having lunch at Appleton. The adults loved learning about the rum process, the history of the brands, and the tastings. Then we went to YS Falls and enjoyed the cool water. Special thanks to Leon's sister who came along and helped us watch the kids at both places. We are grateful that she was in town! Leon even suprised my mom the next day with a birthday present of Jamaican apples because she had mentioned loving them.
Honestly, you can not find a more experienced driver and kinder host to take you around Jamaica. When we return we will use Jamaica Experience Tours exclusively.
