Outstanding-- can't miss!

This is a special shoutout to my ladies-- if you're tired of the verbal aggression that is common in the tourism space, this tour is a safe haven. Vassiana Tours and particularly our guide, Calvin, was safe, incredibly respectful, punctual, and made me and my girlfriend feel at ease immediately. He was exceptional in navigating the winding roads of Jamaica and also gave us fun facts about the different places we were driving through. Our visit to YS falls ($25 / ticket) and the Black River Safari ($30 / ticket) were an exhilarating change from the relaxing beaches of Negril and certainly worth the trip. We went after a rainy day so the falls were brown but still a sight to behold, and we got to see our tour guide at the Safari feed 2 crocodiles. If you like to explore while staying safe, this is definitely something to consider booking!! If I were to come to Jamaica would definitely book and recommend to a friend.

My experience using Vassianna tours and rentals

I don't usually take the time to leave reviews, but I'm compelled to commend your exceptional service. The transportation experience was outstanding. The driver ensured my comfort, checked in regularly, and checked if I wanted to make any potential stops before arriving at my destination. I will definitely recommend your service.

Unforgettable Experience with Vasianna Tours

Our experience with Vasianna Tours and Rental was exceptional from start to finish. The day was beautifully planned — from the scenic drive to the exquisite lobster dinner, where we had the unique pleasure of handpicking our own lobsters. Every detail was handled with professionalism and care. We also enjoyed a breathtaking jet car experience as the guide captured photos that perfectly reflected the beauty of Jamaica. Vasianna Tours delivered a seamless, first-class experience that exceeded every expectation. I highly recommended!

Our trip to YS falls.

We booked Vassianna tours for trip to YS falls and the experience was 10/10. Our driver name was Jessie, he picked us up from our hotel in Negril. He told us about Jamaica’s history which was pretty cool. On the way we got fresh fruits from a local farmer it was so good. The falls was beautiful! We spent a couple hours there. Book with Vassianna tours guys you won’t be disappointed.
