I highly recommend Courtney Taylor Tours and you should not think twice about using him for your tours.
It was exactly what I was hoping for - coming off the ship I could see that the tours through the cruise line were huge "cattle calls". There were literally hundreds of people piling onto large busses and waiting in hot mass groups with tour guides holding up signs trying to get the huge group to form and then stay together.
We walked right off the boat - asked any of the people at the end of the pier where "Courtney Taylor Tours" was and they all pointed us straight to where they were waiting for us. (Saved at least 45 minutes!) You can see that they are well respected and regulars at the dock. We were lucky and scored a tour with "Courtney himself". (But i will say that the other tour guide waiting seemed professional and friendly so I imagine it would have been just as good).
We went to Dunn falls and on the 45 minute drive Courtney made us laugh with the Jamaican history and facts. He sang and quizzed us and his personality came through. He asked us questions to learn what we were interested in and then pointed those things out. We were a group of 5 - in an air conditioned van - very comfortable.
At Dunn falls Courtney walked us through the entire process and even took our group to the front of the line. Saving us valuable vacation time (another 45 minutes at least!). He met us at the top of the falls when we were done (Side note: we were able to leave our stuff in the locked air conditioned van which is a huge relief and really saved us the hassle of lockers etc.)
We hopped in the van quickly and went to a private beach with a restaurant (yummiest Jamaican jerk pork and chicken I have even tasted!). We enjoyed all that time we saved at the beach and were able to eat, relax, sip Red Stripe. Courtney was ready for us when we were ready to leave. Most of my family fell asleep in the van on the way back but I got the pleasure of learning more about Courtney and the island - asking tons of questions and getting honest answers about the island politics, his business and the customs in Jamaica.
Courtney Taylor Tours is exactly what you are looking for. Professional, Affordable, Private, Helpful, Custom and knowledgable - Dont think twice, I highly recommend them.
Ps. I nearly never write reviews but I did leave feeling that I really want to help Courtney out! Not that he needs my help - they seem to be doing just fine!
