An AMAZING day!!! - Thank you SNL tours for allowing us to customize the trip from Runaway Bay (Bahia Principe Luxury), and especially FRANKLIN for the awesome time you showed us. You were waiting patiently for us in the morning- 1 hr early! Then took us through some interesting areas to show us what houses in Jamaica looked like on the way to sanctuary. The Rocklands bird sanctuary is beautiful & quiet, thx Fritz for welcoming us. The birds are sweet it was a nice experience. However, our guide mentioned there's a zoo in Falmouth and to be honest, I think that might be a much better idea for the tour because Fritz gave us maybe 2 fun facts about doctor birds and then we were left to chase 3 birds around for the next hour...5-10min lulls where no birds were coming to feed. There wasn't a consistent/ large number of birds for it to feel like a "sanctuary"... You stick around with hopes that more birds will come but it didn't happen fast enough. The time it takes to drive up the mountain isn't worth it for what you're doing. However, we tried to make the best of it. Then Franklin took us to downtown Montego Bay and we went to Sam Sharpe Square... we also saw the beautiful St. James Church... The Pastor was there and he showed us around, gave us so much info about the Church and that was wonderful he was so kind. We felt so blessed to be in Jamaica exploring on Jamaica's Independence Day August 6th...that was so special. Unfortunately we didn't go see Richmond Hill house, I guess that area was closed because of independence day... We went to shop on hipstrip and then Franklin was nice enough to stop roadside to get some street curry crab omg that was the bomb.com... Woyy Jamaica you guys can cook! Thank you so much again for the experience SNL & Franklin - you went above and beyond... great laughs and talk!! We learned so much and appreciate you sharing the day with us! Hope to see you guys soon xoxo!!!

recommend 100% - I definitely recommend this tour. The bird sanctuary is just a few minutes drive and in a calm environment. The guide Copely was excellent. I felt safe the entire tour, he shared a lot of knowledge and we had a good laugh!

City life, history and birdlife! - We loved this trip. Copley was an excellent and very knowledgable guide, and we had a great experience. This is the best way to see the city and learn about its history and its current day-to-day, if you're curious, and to avoid the standard tourist fare. The Rocklands Bird Sanctuary is simply magical. Strongly recommend the private tour.

Heaven on earth a hidden treasure - A hidden treasure just up in the mountains of Montego Bay. Fritz and his family have a beautiful piece of Heaven on earth. We fed many hummingbirds and finches. A must do that is not a tourist trap

Feeding the Dr. Bird - Loved the Rockland Bird Sanctuary! Was looking forward to seeing and feeding the Dr. Bird, and was not disappointed! They came right up to us immediately. Got to see other birds as well.
Got some souvenirs at the store, and the view above the store was great!

Not dependable! - Cancelled due to not enough people. No notice. I called to see what the pickup time was and was told then!! 8 pm the night before.
Hire a taxi to take you to either place. Cheaper and you get the same experience. Bird sanctuary was lovely. In the City you can walk from the historical old town to hip strip. Shop or not.
