Can't recommend this tour highly enough - Courtney and Hewitt made the tour. Really personable and engaging but also very knowledgeable and informative. We sang and talked our way through the mountains which made our trip the highlight of our visit to Jamaica.
Courtney's quick sense of humour was sublime and his knowledge of all things Jamaica was excellent. Just what you want in a tour guide.
The tour guide at Craighton coffee estate was extremely knowledgeable too and the plantation tour was well-organised. We know so much more about coffee now.
Hewitt drove well and safely, played great music, told hilariously bad jokes and also kindly dropped us at the Bob Marley museum which was not our pick-up point.
Can't recommend this tour highly enough. Next time we visit we'll do the music tour of Kingston. Can't wait!

A must-do tour - I really enjoyed this. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about coffee. The hike was also gorgeous because you get to see coffee plants against the backdrop of a scenic view of Kingston. What topped off the tour was the driver, Hewitt Paulwell. He was a bucket key of laughs and not a bad singer either! His driving was better than his singing though but he really brought something unique to the tour. We listened to reggae and Hewitt even let me DJ for a while to play a bit of Soca. I 100% recommend this tour… and don’t forget to ask for Hewitt!

Tye best way to get to know Jamaica - The tour was amazing!!!
We did the art tour in the morning with Courtney which was honestly 100% better than I expected!! For every mural Courtney hat a song and a story!
Than Caren picked us up and we went to the blue mountains, the view was breathtaking, the nature, the flowers, everything!
The feeling of peace when you’re on the balcony drinking the blue mountain coffee is worth every moment you spend sweating 😅
Karen and Courtney gave me all the information about everything, to be honest, the stopped for pictures, helped me with everything I needed. They’re funny, knowledgeable and the tour is worth every penny! 10/10 and much much better than I could ever expect!
Highly recommended to everyone

Wonderful, must do! - This trip was incredible! We got to learn about and taste the famous blue mountain coffee and then dine at a great mountainside lunch stop before heading down. Courtney and Wayne were wonderful; very glad to not have made the scary cliff side drive myself :)

Great day! - We've been to Jamaica at October 2017, Karen took us to the Blue mountain coffee plantation, we experienced how coffee is grown and got to learn about it, Karen is very informative and told us about Jamaican people and history as well, we really enjoyed the tour with her.
Thank you Karen!

Trip highlight - Wanted to get to the Blue Mountains w/o driving myself. Looked up Blue Mountain Bicycle Tours but cost was prohibitive ($402 for 2 people in Kingston). Found this tour for $140 for 2 people in Kingston; extremely pleased. Met Karen at Emancipation Park and enjoyed the ride up the mountain along with the tour of Craighton Estate and its grounds. My wife said this was her favorite part of our two-week itinerary spanning Negril, Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Kingston. Learned about coffee and local wildlife and politics. Karen was happy to drop us off anywhere in Kingston. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding Guide, Impressive Master Coffee Roaster - Our guide, Karen, expertly navigated through Kingston traffic and on mountain roads as she shared her wealth of information about Kingston and the Blue Mountains. I felt like we were in great hands for our tour. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. If we had toured with her at the beginning of our vacation, I would have booked every tour she offers. Her rates were extremely reasonable. Junior, Master Roaster and our guide at the coffee estate, was extremely well-versed in coffee cultivation, processing, and roasting. This tour was an excellent conclusion to our time in Jamaica.

Excellent tour - My adult daughter and I (type of visit does not allow me to choose this) booked a tour to the Blue Mountains with Karen. We enjoyed her vast breadth of local ( and international!) knowledge. The visit to the coffee farm was informative and the lunch was lovely. Karen has a wealth of information about Jamaica, it's peoples and culture. I would highly recommend her!
