Montego Bay is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Gloucester Avenue craft market. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. Montego Bay Cultural Centre grounds in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

St. James Parish Church alone was worth the trip, but combined with Hip Strip (Gloucester Avenue) this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Our trip to Montego Bay was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Montego Bay Marine Park shoreline was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.
