another vote for Phil

[kely53]

We just returned from a cruise and a fun filled day spent with Phil Lafayette. Thank you to all of the info on this site as it led us to Phil. We did the tour with Dunns River Falls and River Tubing and then an informative tour of the area. Great weather and great people.

We are looking forward to our tour booked with Phil in February. Can you tell me how many people were on the tour? I've been trying to get in touch with him and I'm having trouble with his website.

[kely53]

There were 13 of us. One family of 4 did not show up. He had an airconditioned small tour bus. I believe it would have fit 18.

 

We just got back from our cruise on sunday and today I received an email from Phil hoping that we got back safe and sound etc. If you have any other questions, let me know.

We've heard a lot about this guy and would be interested in using him when we go on our cruise!!!

 

How many people are generally in his groups??? It would just be me, my mum and my friend!

 

What type of things does he do on the tour???

 

Has he got a website?? lol

 

Thanx!

His website is http://www.phil-lafayette-tours.com

 

His small tour bus would accommodate about 18. He had 13 the day we went and he will take just a few if that is all he has.

 

He basically will customize it to what you want to do. It can be as long or short as you like. His cost is $20pp for the day. We did the Dunns River Falls tour which was $20pp.which was paid directly to Dunns River Falls. He will assist you in getting a person to assist you up the falls (they will expect a tip at the end and they deserve it!!). He will be waiting for you when you are done. We also did the River Tubing when was very nice. That was $10 pp. He took us through Fern Gully and took us on a tour of the area, stopping at schools and kitchen gardens to show us the plants and flowers. He offered to take us to a place he recommends for lunch but we declined as our group wanted to go to Margaritaville for lunch. There is the pottery factory that he will take you to.....it is all up to you. He tells great stories and remembered all of our names by the end of the day.

Thats great, we would love to go with him!!!

 

Does he book up quick, we're going in November........

I booked in the summer for Jan cruise. The one thing is that you dont pay him anything until you get there. He doesnt require a credit card number or anything so you can cancel at any time. You could book now to be safe and if you change your mind later, let him know. I tried to add 2 people to our group about 2 months before the cruise and Phil was booked up and he suggested I try Peat Taylor. Which I did, and Peat had room, but the other 2 people decided to do the canopy tour instead.

kely53...I "think" you may have the prices reversed. I am pretty sure that it is $10 to climb the falls and $20 pp for the tubing. Just wanted to clarify this.

[luv2bcruzn]

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble with Phil's web site?

[kely53]

You are right. Thanks for clearing that up! I hate to give out wrong info, especially if it involves money!!

luv2bcruzn, I just got on his website and also his email seemed to work. Are you having trouble getting his website?

[kjanders]

I requested a reservation for the Dunns River Falls and river tubing excursion yesterday afternoon through his website for a family of 4 for March 15th. I received confirmation via e-mail last evening and everthing is set. Didn't seem to have any problems at all with the website and there was still space available two months out.

[luv2bcruzn]

Weird thing, web site thru mozilla was messed up but thru microsoft explorer is fine, go figure!

[imatarb]

Glad to hear you had a great time with Phil. We went out with him in May '04, and it was truly the best of our excursions.

 

Can't wait to do it again!!

Just returned from a cruise on the Princess Star, our first cruise ever. We booked our Jamaica tour with Phil Lafayette based on the reviews we read online, and were not disappointed.

Phil was phantastic! He is very funny, very accomodating and a blast to be around. He knows everyone, and tries very hard to please all the passengers he has no matter what age! We had our 17 year old son with us on this cruise, and we were paired up with a dad and his 13 year old daughter. He made sure both of the young ones were entertained and informed the whole time. He stopped at this fabulous restaurant in the mountains that overlooked the bay. They served the best jerk chicken I have ever tasted, and the staff was more than helpful for all our needs. We had a very short time in Jamaica, but I would recommend Phil to everyone no matter how long you have there because he will make it one of the best memories of your trip.

 

Ya man! Phil is the best.

About how much was lunch. We are going in July and just trying to figure out how much extra money to bring.

[StacyinKs]

We are booked with Phil next month, and are looking forward to spending the day with him. He sounds like alot of fun! :)

[crisnjohn]

I just booked the tubing and dunn's falls yesterday. He e-mailed me this morning to confirm. We are going on the Mariner of the seas on 1/30. I have heard this is a great tour. I can't wait.

Kely53. I saw on another thread that you had 9554 on MOS. We have the same room on the NOS for our honeymoon on 4/2. It was one of the last 10 JS left and was wondering if everything was ok with the room. Every other available room was right next an elevator, so I understand those not being taken.

My e-mail is my name @ yahoo . com

Thanks. Todd

Phil took us to Bibipip's for lunch. The food was good and came to about $30 or $35 (including tip) for two of us.

[imatarb]

Yep, Phil can't be beat! He's the best!
