Charles is an excellent guide and an expert at the local cuisine and all the natural foods of Jamaica. He led us on an eye opening tour of how the native Jamaican people view and prepare their foods. He showed us, right on the side of the road, how native plants are grown and used everyday. My wife and I were completely amazed at how delicious and healthy local food is. We were completely stuffed after this great tour. We highly recommend him and this tour.
Hey Shaun! Thanks for leaving such a great review. We always work hard to ensure that our guests not only see the beauty of the island but also experience its culture and people. Glad you enjoyed the tour and you had some great food to eat! Many blessings Alrick aka Charles
We had a great experience in Montego Bay, sampling so many different Jamaican foods in places we would have never found on our own. Our guide shared so much knowledge with us along the way about Jamaican foods, culture, and lifestyle. We learned about all the different trees and the fruits that were growing on them, and we sampled so many delicious foods. We’ve been to Jamaica many times but still learned a lot on this tour. I highly recommend it.

Marc met us outside the cruise port in Falmouth and we had a great day experiencing the tastes of Jamaica on a private tour. The food was varied and all excellent. Marc was an experienced guide that shared the culture and the stories behind the food with us at every stop and kept us entertained in-between stops.
