- Runaway Bay - This tour takes you through one of the most popular towns on the Island. Runaway Bay is naturally beautiful and is certainly one of the most scenic areas in Jamaica. It sits between the beautiful, crisp coastline to one side and the lush green mountains to the other. There is much debate as to how the town of Runaway Bay got its name. some people believe it got the name because that is where the last batch of Spanish soldiers ran away from when they were retreating from the attacking British Troops lead by Governor Ysassi right after the 1655 British invasion of Jamaica, while other argue that it was the point from which the Slaves from inland plantations used as an escape route to runaway to Cuba.

Very moving tour - It was a very fun, exciting ride on the windy streets up the mountain. Our driver was fantastic. He showed a documentary on Bob Marley to get us excited about the tour. Once we arrived at 9 mile the tour was very engaging. Bob Marley's birthplace and burial site in Nine Mile, Jamaica. The trip was incredibly captivating, exhilarating, and deeply moving.

Must do! - The experience was awesome, and I feel like everyone should do this if you are in Montego Bay or Ocho Rios. The only issue I had was our pickup time was 8:55am, and the driver didn't pick us up until 10:05am. Other than that, the driver was amazing and he navigated the roads like a pro. The trip is about an hour up the mountains, which can be quite scary when cars are coming in the other direction.

Unacceptable...NEVER using this app again!!! - First time in Jamaica. Scheduled excursions ahead of time through Viator. First excursion was supposed to be the 2nd day of trip & our 2nd excursion was scheduled for our 3rd day. The day of our arrival i received a notification asking if I could change the date of my excursion (which I could not, that's why I booked in advance...HELLO) due to not enough people...but was also told in the same email that this is NOT a cancellation. On the day of our 1st excursion, sitting in lobby waiting for our guide about 15 min before the excursion start time, proceed with pulling up my virtual ticket, and then at that moment see it says REFUNDED. No call, no email or text cancelation, no notice. So here I am thinking I'm going on my excursion through Viator, but nope. BEST ADVICE....GO TO THE AMSTAR DESK IN LOBBY. THEY HAVE SAME EXCURSIONS AND...THEY CAN FIND YOU A PRIVATE DRIVER. WE PAID $150 FOR DRIVER, WHO TOOK US 9 MILE (SCENIC DRIVE), KFC IN BROWNSTONE, AND STOPS AT LOCAL SHOPS. YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR ADMISSION TO 9 MILE, BUT FOR A PRIVATE DRIVER (WHO WAS FUN, KNOWLEDGABLE, CHILL, AND JUST A REALLY GOOD DUDE), YOU CAN DO THE EXCURSION & MORE CHEAPER!!!! VIATOR....YOU NEED BETTER TOUR PARTNERS AND BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! NEVER AGAIN & I WILL BE SHARING MY EXPERIENCE ABOUT VIATOR.
