Ritchie and ARTOURSJAMAICA - Long overdue, but still warranted. Vacation trip to Jamaica, (another Gem in this our Caribbean Islands) we called up and agency booking a trip for river rafting on that day. We decided to go with artoursjamaica based on price and flexibility, what we didn’t know was that we were booking Ritchie (a down-to-earth Jamaican). Ritchie turned up like the others did on time and pleasantly attired. His vehicle was spotless and a welcoming snack was available (like most of the other’s). Ritchie took us safely to our river rafting that we truly enjoyed, and after completing this activity, that’s when the Jamaican magic happened. Ritchie with his entertaining island information and gossip, deemed he’s not just a tour guide but a darn best cook (my family is into food), so I had to put Ritchie to the test. Left river rafting somewhere in Drax Hall, and headed to Ritchie and his chief friend restaurant in Runaway Bay, I was hungry. Having had Scotchies (jerk chicken & festival) the day before, I tormented Ritchie jokingly that nothing would top that, Ritchie’s reply was simply blah blah blah, wait you’ll see. We got there and Richie donned his cooking apron, and along with his friend took to the kitchen. We were served up Red Stripe beer from the bar (of course we are in Jamaica, right!), and waited for my locally caught red snapper paired with local ground provision and my wife’s grill lobster also locally caught with same. Long story made short, man oh man was I wrong. Scotchies was good, this food was magical. I ate everything down to the last flesh on my fish head and some of the bone weren’t recognizable, I’ll be delicate and just say my wife said it was the best lobster she’d ever eaten. Ritchie mentioned (in the purest Jamaican dialect) he ent ever seen any people eat down the food like that lol, he then bought us a few rounds of beers to show his appreciation, he didn’t have too, his food was more than enough. We did our goodbyes to all the locals that had engaged with us, and Ritchie took us back to our hotel in Ocho Rios. Jamaica is by far the best Caribbean island I’ve visited, my wife concurs, and we both come from Caribbean islands. But that tour day out, that ended with Ritchie’s cooking and company, was my bestest ever Caribbean experience. You go Jamaica, look for artoursjamaica, ask for Ritchie!

ORGANIZED AND AMAZING TOUR GUIDES/TAXIS - A&R tours was amazing and organized. I highly recommend specially if you are visiting a ton of places. Safety was on point.

10/10 🇯🇲 - If I could give 10 stars I would. Richie was such a great company. He made sure my friend and I were safe and taken to and from our destination. While also sharing knowledge on the culture etc. Definitely book with A&R you won’t regret it

Jamaica is the Bomb.Com !!!🇯🇲 - 1st off …..I must say one love & respect to our driver…..my man Richie(Richards)….Cool brother, Honest, Reliable, respectful, enjoys his job, and wants to make sure you have a great experience at whatever & wherever he brings you. The rafting adventure was relaxing & truly reflective of the natural beauty of Jamaica. The music, the drinks, the weather was all on point!!! Interaction with the natives & their arts & crafts & beautiful pronunciation of the English dialect was great.. Come to Jamaica!!!!!!

Simply the best chauffeur and event planner in Jamacia !!! - Richardo Mendis is simply the best, what a driver, what a human being. Richardo is a chauffeur first and foremost and he is incredible at his job. I’ve never been driven by a better driver, he is comfortable on the road as well as mountain terrain, commanding pit holes as if they weren’t even there. He will get you to your destination fast and safe. He has WiFi in his car, which is a 7 seater and extremely comfortable. Beyond that, Richardo is interpersonal, funny and an interesting person. He will make effort to not only give you a tour of Jamaica as you pass through the different districts, but will also make funny and interesting conversation, telling you about Jamaica, his experiences and current affairs, not to mention, he’s a football fanatic ! Above and beyond that, he is an exceptional human being! Not only does he bring you to the best destinations, he arranges activities at a cheap rate with locals, with a better experience and value for money. At one point, we ran out of currency, so he paid for us at his own suggestion, out of his own pocket, and we paid him back at the hotel. He is an honest, caring individual but also gets the job done with swagger, confidence and competence ! Myles Bossman

Rafting and blue hole review - My family and I went rafting and to Blue hole . The whole experience was surreal, it was so beautiful and the views were fantastic. It is a great way to see the true beauty of Jamaica. Richardo was an amazing tour guide he took us to all the best places. He's driving was amazing, so smooth, and he was a great person to talk to. He has great knowledge of the island. He made our holiday something to remember forever. I would recommend Richardo to anyone, fantastic guy. Thank you A&R tours !

Memories to Last - Richardo was amazing and very responsive before we even arrived in Jamaica. He was extremely proactive and had access to a couple things we needed to start our trip off right. He was very helpful in regards to helping us book all the excursions we wanted to do, as well as accessing different food off the resort. All of the excursions were about 45 min-1hr from our resort and having our transportation already set up made everything so much more enjoyable. Another big plus is that we didn’t have much a wait, if any at all, for any of the excursions. We told him that we wanted to try really good authentic food while we were there and asked him about some recommendations and places we’d looked up on our own. Not only did he recommend a few great options, he took it up a notch and cooked for us himself! After only 35 minutes of preparation, we had curry goat, curry chicken, and lobster escovitch with rice and peas - everything was absolutely divine and our plates were clean! Overall, Richardo helped make our trip very enjoyable and stress free by handling the smaller details off the resort. If you’re planning to visit Montego Bay and want to explore, we highly recommend using Richardo with A & R tours for all of your needs, food transport, excursions, clubs, you name it! The pictures don’t do the experience and service provided enough justice.

ONE LOVE, ONE HEART - For my son’s 1st birthday, we decided to plan a trip to JAMROCK which was our first time ever! Gratitude to our tour guide known as RICHIE who we surely gave a ran for his money 😊 Despite running late in regards to time, Richie made it his duty to make sure we were attended to, and taken care of! Richie is the true definition of ONE LOVE, ONE HEART 🫶🏽 Driving into Lethe River surely is not for the weak & Richi handled that like a champ! Ps. We went rafting at LETHE, Great River contact Rafter known as Danhai +1 (876) 875-8164 (Richie took us straight to him so no need to wait as you can plan ahead of time & Richi gets there In no time!)

Excellent driver/tour guide!!!! Service is exceptional - We traveled with richardo (A&R tours) and I must commend him for his exceptional service he’s very respectful , knowledgeable and polite and his customer service is superb if you’re in Jamaica and need a safe and reliable driver/tour guide I definitely recommend Richardo without a doubt….-Thank you for your service Richie we will be back❤️

Had a great time during my stay, we were very grateful to have A&R tours as our guide. Richie is highly recommended - We took lots of pictures, saw a tree with dread locks, and had authentic Jamaican cuisine. Milestone was my favorite of them
