- Valerie W0 contributionsBob Marley Museum tour.Had a wonderful time. The company was very responsive to my questions prior to my arrival to Jamaica. The driver was very prompt, courteous and knowledgeable about Jamaica's history.Written 12 November 2024
- eyonniey0 contributionsSuch an amazing experienceEverything about this tour was amazing! I first connected with Javia because I was booking a trip to Jamaica and I wanted to find the perfect company for my family and I. He was so professional and personable. He made sure everything I wanted would get done and he answered any questions that I had. From the beginning we got to Jamaica our driver picked us up on time and we also had an amazing time with DWAYNE. He was amazing and made us feel like family. He took us wherever we wanted to go and gave us an amazing experience. If you're thinking about booking with this company PLEASE DO!! They're family now :)Written 24 August 2024
- X565XUvictoriaf0 contributionsSuperior Family ServiceSo I waited until I got back to the US to write this review because I wanted to be able to sit down to give my undivided attention to the post I would write. First thing I would like to say is if you are traveling with small kids and you value your family safety and comfortability over everything then look no further. My husband and I were traveling with our one-year-old daughter and our 11-year-old son. This was our first time taking them to Jamaica so you know the stress levels of finding a good company was high. I researched it for months to booking and I talked to Marva and Javia multiple times just to make sure everything was right while they always assured me that everything will be just fine. Let me tell you it was more than just fine it was AMAZING….. The first day we used their services they took us from Montego Bay to Clarendon to see family. Let me tell you that it was not a short trip (we’re talking 3+ hour drive just one way) It was very long, but the good thing about the drive is that it was very informative. We got to see all the ends and out of Jamaica. We got to go through and see multiple parishes Avril told us about every parish and we rode through, Avril told us about the history of Jamaica. He let us stop at different vendors, it was just beyond words , his attention to detail and the knowledge he shares is extraordinary. Funny thing how everyone knows everyone Avril our driver actually lives next door to our cousins co worker. (We found that out when we arrived at our family compound) Then next Day we had the pleasure of having driver Duane take us to Green grass caves, and Dunn River Falls in Montego Bay. Again service was exceptional. Dwayne paid attention to show us sites that we didn’t even know we wanted to see. If it wasn’t for him we would have missed soooo much rich culture he took us to the home of Marcus Garvey, he took us into the city and we looked high and low in search of coconut drops and we found some. ( funny fact if you want authentic home made coconut drops pre order some from Avril he is a connoisseur) . Dwayne knows Ocho Rios like no other he took us routes that bypassed major traffic and our trip went off with out a hitch. At the end Dwayne took us to visit with Marva, I have to admit at first I did not know who she was so when we began to talk I was a little stand offish but let me tell you when I realize who she was during our conversation I started to ball.. I was soooo grateful to her and her family for the services they provided I was without words. Again this is not my first trip to Jamaica but it is the first time we went with our kids so it was that more important that more special and that more intimate so I just want to say Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for always being there. Thank you for caring. Thank you for showing. Love and thank you for protecting. In know Jamaica we have found more than a forever tour company we have found family. Love Alway The Fullerton FamilyWritten 5 August 2024
- Culture7669320 contributionsCustom tour to Port AntonioExperienced custom excursion from Ocho Rios to Portland. We searched several sites and Know Jamaica Tours was able to deliver a full day trip for a reasonable price. The tour was tailored to our preferences, we really to wanted to see Portland and it’s attractions. Dwayne talked about the history and showed us landmarks. We went to Somerset waterfall and stopped by Frenchman’s Cove. We got some jerk chicken at the Boston jerk. The trip fulfilled our main purpose to check out hotels for a future stay (GeeJam and Trident). Ended with Tastee patties - chicken and beef - served hot and fresh. Portland is lush, beautiful and clean. Bonus: pay via Zelle or cashApp. Professional knowledgeable guide in a safe environment.Written 15 May 2024
- 911tarahj0 contributionsYOU MUST BOOK KNOW JAMAICA TOURS!LOVED OUR TOUR OF MONTEGO BAY! My family of four wanted to learn the history of this beautiful city and our travel agent, Dianna, from Soul Seeking Voyages, put us in touch with Javia of Know Jamaica Tours. He was prompt, polite, passionate and of course very knowledgeable about all things Jamaica. My son had done his homework, so he kept Javia on his toes with his questions about the culture. We toured the city, hopped out for pictures along the way, and stopped for a bite to eat - once at a fruit stand where we sampled jackfruit, coconut and sugar cane; and again for some authentic eating at a little restaurant where I got oxtails. DEE-LISH-US! Javia was a great tour guide and YOU MUST BOOK HIM/K.J.T. for your upcoming trip.Written 15 April 2024
- 676pattim0 contributionsFabulous Day in Ocho RiosThank you Know Jamaica Tours for showing our family of 5 a fabulous time in Ocho Rios. Marva helped us design a fun day touring the Blue Hole, horseback riding and lunch. Bess (our amazing tour guide) safely drove us around town for about 4 hours. He was friendly and informative. At the end of the tour, he found a nice woman to braid my daughter's hair, very fun! We all had such a great experience with zero complaints. Thank you all again!!Written 11 April 2024
- HRTJR0 contributionsEnthusiastic and informative tour. Highly recommend ++Fantastic, friendly and reliable family run tour company, happy to work around our delayed cruise ship arrival in Jamaica. Communication with Marva through WhatsApp was excellent throughout. We had the best possible introduction and fond memories of Jamaica thanks to Javia who not only gave us an informative guided tour between attractions but gave us hints and tips for the best ways to enjoy the horse riding and Dunns Falls. Would highly recommend this tour company and wish them every success with the growth of their family run business.Written 28 December 2023
- CarlosGTravels0 contributionsHighly Recommend Know Jamaica ToursMy wife and I booked a private tour from Ocho Rios to Kingston. Dwayne was a fantastic guide! He was knowledgeable, kind, and patient in answering our seemingly endless questions about Jamaican culture and history and accommodating our requests throughout the day. During the drive to Kingston, he took the time to point out peculiarities and other points of interest about the Jamaican countryside. Once in Kingston, he took us to Devon House, where we had delicious Jamaican patties and ice cream. We also stopped at the Bob Marley Museum and the National Heroes Memorial. We stopped for some fantastic jerk chicken and pork on our return drive. We highly recommend Know Jamaica Tours!Written 18 December 2023
- 576daisiem0 contributionsKnow Jamaica Tours is the ONLY family we tour with in Jamaica!! We're Jamericans, and the Shaw's are our family. 1LoveWe recently visited Montego Bay, Jamaica via Carnival Vista. This is our 4th time visiting and hanging out with Know Jamaica Tours! Marva Shaw and her son, Javia Shaw are 2 of the most amazing people that we now consider family. They've always greeted us with hugs, smiles, and great conversation. Every time we see them, it's almost like we just pick up where we left off. We will never visit Jamaica without seeing our family and letting them show us around. It's not a "tour". It's conversation with lots of facts, culture, and being shown what Jamaica is really like, the raw and unfiltered. Not narrated, but from real knowledge of life long residents who truly LOVE their country. On this trip, we did the MoBay Highlights tour. We were taken downtown Montego Bay first, and was given a tour of the history of Sam Sharpe, the country's hero. (Look it up; very intriguing). We then headed to Doc's Cave Beach, which has always been one of my favorite beaches. The water was beautiful, the beach was no over-crowded, and there are restrooms/changing rooms there, along with a bar. We enjoyed as much time there as we wanted, and then headed to Scotchie's for lunch. Real, authentic Jamaica patties (the beef & cheese is so good!), and jerk chicken, in which the amount we ordered was plenty for our family of 3 to share. We sat with Marva and Javia and talked about all sorts of things, and it just felt like I was with family. We then did a little shopping @ a couple of stores, and then it was time to head back to the port. I always feel like i'm leaving a part of me behind when we leave Jamaica, and this time was no different and I give all the credit to Know Jamaica Tours with Marva and Javia, for they have always made us feel welcomed, and loved. Know Jamaica Tours is the way to go!! Support the local economy, and also get a much realer experience that the cruise lines can't offer! We love and miss you so much Javia and Marva!!Written 5 November 2023

- michelletS2087MV0 contributionsFantastic time!We took a tour to the Blue Hole and Dunns River Falls with Know Jamaica Tours. It was fantastic. Easy to book and Marva was very helpful and communicative. We loved our tour guide. He shared his knowledge and love for Jamaica with us and made the trip so interesting and fun. He drove us to the Blue Hole (beautiful and so much fun!) and then to lunch for some jerk chicken and a little shopping. After that on our way to Dunns River Falls he stopped at a street vender for some local fruits for us to try. We're so glad we booked with Know Jamaica Tours.Written 22 July 2023
- V5756EHsarahh0 contributionsAmazing Day in JamaicaI have to write a post regarding an amazing tour company in Jamaica. We went with Know Jamaica Tours and had the absolute best time. We went on a food, waterfalls (which we climbed with a guide) and shopping tour (super small store). It was just my family in the air conditioned van with our driver Dwayne. He stopped along the way so we could try local foods and took us to Konoko waterfalls and botanical gardens. The most amazing part for us was that my husband and I are both teachers and Dwayne took us to two locals schools! I'm in early intervention (special education for 3-5 year olds) and he took us to a preschool. The children were amazing! They sang "We are the World" and recited their bible verses to us. He then took us to Ocho Rios high school. I was not allowed to tour the school due to their dress code (i was in shorts), but my husband who is a high school teacher, toured the school and the grounds. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and completely catered to my family (my inlaws and my 9 year old daughter). Cannot recommend this small tour group enough!Written 27 June 2023
- baileys5590 contributionsAbsolutely AmazingThis experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Beginning with pickup right on time our tour guide was so nice and welcoming. Konoko Falls was breathtaking as well as the botanical garden and waterfall. We got to experience Jamaican pattie’s next which were so good and had a chance to go to the super market! From there we were immersed into the true Jamaican culture by being able to pick our own mangoes off a tree, smell natural herbs and try local fruit in a neighborhood. From there we went to eat and returned back to our villa. This experience is truly sensational and gives you an experience that you can’t get on a resort. Great fun and personalities. I absolutely recommend.Written 4 June 2023

I am one of those persons that likes to do a lot research before taking a trip or booking a tour. I spent a considerable amount of time finding a tour company that was affordable and that made me feel safe while abroad.
Googling tour companies in Jamaica I came across knowJamaicatours and looking into their Facebook page and reviews I found a nothing but good reviews and comments. I booked transportation from the airport to our hotel and also a private our.
From day one when they picked us up at the airport they were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. The entire Drive to the Hotel, Jay, our tour guide, kept on giving us information about Jamaica which we loved. He also was kind enough to make a quick stop to buy some refreshments for the road. Jay, was very punctual in picking us up for our tour day, We never felt the rush in our activities it was a very pleasant experience.
One of the things that I really liked was that it is a family owned business, Jay’s mom
Was our itinerary organizer and she was always available I and very prompt to respond to my emails.
It’s time to go back to Jamaica I will definitely be booking with them again.

Great experience with this private tour. Our driver was very pleasant and jolly. He sang us songs when picking us up which made our little kids very happy. He asked what we were looking for this trip and gave suggestions without being pushy. We enjoyed our trip and would recommend to others too.

We had a great day with Javi at Know Jamaica Tours. He showed us the real Jamaica on the way up to Bob Marley’s Nine Mile. Javi was on time and it was great to have no time limits on how long we wanted to stay at one place or where we wanted to stop. The ride up was interesting (bumpy and windy mountain roads) but we felt very safe with Javi driving. It is a must do activity when you come to Jamaica to pay your respects to Bob. We stopped and took pictures at different spots as the scenery is breathtaking! The mountain towns were also very interesting. On the way back we stopped at this great local place M&K and the food and Red Stripe were amazing! I recommend him for any age groups as he will customize the tour based on your needs and wants. By the end of the tour we had made a new friend and that is what makes Jamaica so wonderful- the people 💕

My husband and I planed to celebrate our wedding Aniversary in Jamaica which was a huge change for us . We usually celebrate locally in NY or our home country Belize. Even though we did an all inclusive hotel we preferred a local operator for activities outside the hotel. KnowJamaica tours exceeded our expectations! Even though I checked for availability last minute, all my inquiries and concerns were addressed. Ms. Marva I never met you in person but our interaction through messaging made me felt at ease . Our welcome basket to celebrate our Anniversary was also a pleasant surprise . Our operator Dwayne (I hope I spelled it right ) was awesome! He was calm reassuring, knowledgeable about Jamaica history and Ocho Rios , most of all patient with us. The tour was truly at our pace. We chose to do the Famous Dun’s River water falls and White River bamboo rafting since it was our first trip and we just wanted to start off small. Dwayne made sure to get us in early to the falls help us set up our guide who was also amazing . We got authentic Jamaican Patties , Jerk meat combo, explored my curiosity about the Jamaican KFC chicken, local market run and got some fresh fruits , loved Fern Gully and the view of the cruise port from the mountain top. I can’t forget the refreshing taste of Sorrel Redstripe. Our tour had more aspects of it but I would go on forever. We definitely recommend KnowJamaica tours 100%

I met this mom and son team back in 2012, forget being "friendly" they are loving and take great care of their clients. They are knowledgeable and prompt. I've used their service several times in the past and called them right up when I learned I'd be in Ocho Rios April of this year; it was last minute but Javia came through and made sure we had a great experience. I am so grateful for Know Jamaica providing exceptional service, expertise and an amazing time in Jamaica! Thank you!

What a great experience provided by Know Jamaica Tours. Dwayne was our guide and driver for the day. Dwayne made a great first impression. Punctual, pleasant and patient. We were a family of 4 with a 3 year old and grandmother. Dwayne recommended Calypso Rafting which was a great time with our two tour guides. We swung by Juci Patties for a local patty. We closed out the day with Dunns River which was a great way to end our day.
We highly recommend planning your private tour with them. Clean van, cold
AC, knowledgeable driver, fast response for customizing trip details and water and snacks were a plus.

Our group enjoyed our tour from start to finish provided by Know Jamaica Tours. Our tour guides were J and Witfield, and they were very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating the entire time. We were able to get some sight-seeing, authentic and tasty jerk chicken, and nice drinks. We were there on a cruise with Carnival. They made sure to get us back to the port within 2 hrs of our on-boarding time, so there was no stress about missing the ship. Our specific itinerary was Little Dunn's River Falls, Ocho Rios Jerk Centre, Landmark for drinks. You will not be disappointed with scheduling a tour with this company and it is by far the most reasonably priced.

We hired Javia and KnowJamaica Tours for two different excursions during our recent trip to Runaway Bay Jamaica ( writing this on our last day here ). On the first day we visited Island Gully Falls and toured Ocho Rios craft market, went for ice cream and patties. Super fun! Kids loved jumping into the blue hole.
We had such a good time we called and booked again a few days later for an action packed day off the beaten path. We visited the Green Grotto Caves ( must see) , went snorkelling at a beautiful local beach, visited St Ann’s Bay farmers market and walked all around the town, explored the ruins of an old plantation site, discovered some little local communities, got ice cream from the local bike delivery, headed to Ocho Rios for some shopping at Island Village and had the best puddin’ and Jerk Pork. Ask Javia to take you to his favourite spots.
Don’t settle for the same old excursions…get a truly local experience, and amazing service with Know Jamaica Tours 🇯🇲❤️✌️

We booked a customized tour with a photographer/videographer through know Jamaica tours. We had no expectations, but we're pleasantly surprised with the experience. First we went to the Blue Hole. On the way, our tour guide gave us an educational experience about Jamaica and the places we were seeing along the way. He also stopped at a local neighborhood grocery store and bought some sugar cane for all of us to try. He went so far as to explain how to chew it and discard the fiber went finished.
He passed us off to his recommended Blue Hole tour guide. This experience was amazing. My youngest son was afraid to jump off of one of the platforms. Our guide took him down to a lower level area and jumped with him. He was happy that he was able to jump. After the Blue Hole, the tour bus was waiting for us with local snacks and waters for all of us.
We headed off the Dunns river falls. Once again we got an education on the landscape and culture along the way. Once we arrived, they handed us off to a recommended tour guide at Dunns. Another great adventure and guide. The whole family of 10 loved it. After Dunns, the buss was waiting on us again. They then took us to local jerk chicken restaurant for dinner. They schooled us on the the local cuisine and we ate. Sooooo good! Know Jamaica then took us to a farmers market for some fresh local fruit. We learned a lot and tasted plenty. It was wonderful!!!
All that was left was the drive back to the resort. We left them feeling like family. When we go back to Jamaica, we'll totally use Know Jamaica tours!

There are 4 adults arriving on the Veendam (Holland) Nov 6th. We are in our seventies and eighties
We don't wish to swim but would like to see Dunn River Falls and the Blue Hole. In addition we want to see the city of Ocho Rios. We want to see how and ere the average Jamican lives...we'd like to interact with the locals and learn about your culture. A visit to a local craft type market would also be enjoyable. How much of our wish list would be possible in a 6 hour time frame and what would be the cost for a group of 4?

Yes there are lookouts and places to view both Dunns River and the Blue Hole without having to go up and down the falls. We have been several times and Marva Shaw of Knowjamaicatours will take care of your every need. Please contact her and let her know what you would like to do and she will put together an excursion just for you. Email her.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
