The Experience

Your afternoon and evening begins with pickup from your hotel in Montego Bay, Negril, or the Grand Palladium in Lucea—if you're picked up outside Montego Bay, you'll drive along Jamaica's northern coast to reach the city. Once there, a local guide takes you on a one-hour walking and driving tour through Montego Bay's historic center. You'll visit Sam Sharpe Square, named after the slave leader who led the Christmas Slave Rebellion in 1831; walk around the square to see the statue of Sam Sharpe, the St James Museum, and colonial buildings that surround it. The tour also includes St James Parish Church, one of Jamaica's finest churches, with stained glass and sculptures by English artist John Bacon, and a drive through residential neighborhoods to see Georgian homes built during the sugar-trading era.

After the city portion, a 15-minute drive takes you to Rose Hall Great House, an 18th-century Georgian mansion. Your one-hour candlelit tour focuses on the legend of Annie Palmer, who according to local lore killed three husbands and several slave lovers before being killed herself in her bed. The tour walks you through the mansion's rooms, where you'll hear the story and see period furnishings while deciding for yourself whether Annie's ghost still haunts the house. The entire experience—city tour, transport between stops, and mansion tour—takes about three hours from pickup to drop-off.

What’s included

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off from Montego Bay, Negril, or the Grand Palladium in Lucea.
  • a local guide who leads both the city tour and the mansion tour.
  • the one-hour guided sightseeing tour of Montego Bay including Sam Sharpe Square and St James Parish Church.
