Recommending a great tour operator in Jamaica

[louanmc]

We cruised on the MS Westerdam March 13-20/05 and had a stop in Ochos Rios on March 16th. Through the internet I found a wonderful tour operator by the name of Marva Shaw. We spent 5 hrs. with her at a cost of $40.00 per person. She was great and eager to take us wherever we wanted to go. The time was ours to spend as we wished. She took us to a local spot for lunch to enjoy jerk chicken and jamaican punch. The itinerary can be completely yours. She is a member of "Juta" which is what you should look for (at least a cab with a red licence plate) and was born in Jamaica and has been a tour guide for 19 years. We highly recommend Marva. You can access her web site at www.knowjamaica.com or knowjam@yahoo.com. We emailed back and forth to each other several times before we met and she also called me once. Her phone # is (876)726-0361 or (876)859-4739. Be sure to tell her that Rick and Louise recommended her.
