woobabie Posted August 26, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2004 My boyfriend and I just got back from cruising the Western Caribbean on the Mariner of the Seas, and I can't stop raving about the most wonderful time that we had in Ocho Rios because of A-Z Jamaica Planners. Oscar was our driver/guide, and he was the best!!! The tour was so personalized, informative and lots of fun. We did the Falls/Tubing package which included climbing the falls, driving through Fern Gully and local areas, learning about the local culture, shopping, enjoying lunch, and tubing down the exciting White River. (A very detailed recap of our great experience has been posted in the "A-Z Jamaica Planners???" Thread.) Oscar was such a wonderful tour guide. I highly recommend A-Z Jamaica Planners!!!

jhaasz Posted September 7, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I agree.... We used A-Z Jamaica Planners and they were wonderful (a review to follow soon) and very accomodating. We even got a great "Oscar" discount in one of the shops in the Taj Mahal (about $15 off our total gift purchase price). I would highly recommend them. They are the only tour company that I contacted (Phil, Pete) that were willing to customize a tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTPieRye Posted September 7, 2004 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Did you book A-Z ahead of time and what was the deposit required and cancellation policy of ship could not dock? Were you in Ochos Rios or Montego Bay? Did A-Z have people waiting that were available when you docked? I received an email from Georgeen of A-Z and Y.S. Falls and River Tubing sounds like a blast. The cost is $58 pp..... Thanks for the info ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QTPieRye Posted September 8, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Between yesterday and today A-Z Planners has confirmed our reservation for September 22, has sent me an email invoice, and has provided excellent customer service. So far I am really pleased with their customer service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaasz Posted September 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2004 We used them in Ocho Rios. There was no deposit requirement and payment was not due until the end of the tour. There were signs and security guards asking who we booked with and Georgeen met us by their sign. I would highly recommend using them - they will even customize the tour for you. It's great having your own tour guide and not being "stuck" with a ship's tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv2travel! Posted September 15, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I have emailed a-z planners to be sure they made it safely thru the hurricane & also to see if our reservation for next week is still on. The email bounces back to me with an error msg. I even emailed directly from their website to be sure I had email addy correct. Has anyone heard from them? Did they make it safely thru the hurricane?

luv2travel! Posted September 17, 2004 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2004 OK, still havent heard from a-z planners. Should I go ahead & book with another tour? Or just hope that they will be waiting on the pier when we arrive? I emailed them again yesterday & email did not bounce back but no reply yet. Be advised that our ship leaves tomorrow & we will be flying out in 3 hours from now. So trying to make a quick decision :o) THANKS in advance for your replies!

QTPieRye Posted September 17, 2004 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Luv2Travel..... We were scheduled with them on 9/23 for Montego Bay.. River Tubing.... I haven't heard from Belinda or anyone else, but I think their system must be down. I am planning on NOT seeing them at the pier, as I can't imagine how much water must be in the river right now with all of the rain they got... I also don't think it is a good idea to tour the island with all of the flooding. So we are planning on heading to Margaritaville and Sunset Beach if it's open. Of course, if they show up and everything REALLY IS fine on that side of the island then okay... but we aren't expecting much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanatravel Posted September 20, 2004 #12 Share Posted September 20, 2004 See previous post. a-z is back working this week. Belinda has power but not water. Email her if you have concerns about your Mo Boy River Tubing tour. You may wish to make an alternate plan for your day. Bon Voyage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
