Stop At: Sam Sharpe Square, Montego Bay Jamaica
Your afternoon and evening tour begins with hotel pickup in Negril, the Grand Palladium resort in Lucea or Montego Bay (depending on option selected); if you’re picked up in Negril or at Grand Palladium, enjoy the drive along Jamaica’s beautiful northern coast to Montego Bay.
When you arrive in Mobay, as it’s commonly called by the locals, get to know the city on a one-hour sightseeing tour to attractions like Sam Sharpe Square, named after a slave leader who led the revolt known as the Christmas Slave Rebellion in 1831. Walk around the square, admiring the statue of Sam Sharpe, the St James Museum and the surrounding colonial buildings.
Then check out St James Parish Church, one of Jamaica's finest churches with its stained glass and sculptures by English artist John Bacon, and take a drive through residential areas to marvel at the Georgian homes that date back to the glorious sugar-trading days
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Rose Hall Great House, Rose Hall Road, Rose Hall, Montego Bay Jamaica
Next, the second portion of your combo begins with the 15-minute drive to Rose Hall Great House, an 18th-century Georgian mansion made famous by the legend of Annie Palmer, the ‘White Witch of Rose Hall.’ According to the tale, Annie killed her three husbands and several slave lovers before being killed herself in her bed. During your one-hour candlelit tour through the mansion, listen to the story and find out for yourself if Annie truly haunts the house, which also boasts period furnishings for you to admire.

The great house is unbelievably big and beautiful! There was much more history that tied in with the story of the white witch that we appreciated to know. Also our driver was very hospitable and I will never forget that. I'm so glad we got off the resort to learn about the history and culture of Jamaica.We loved the educational information provided and our tour guide was lovely. The inside of the house is beautiful and the grounds are amazing!

Four of us took this tour and had a great time. The knowledge of Tony, our driver, was very good and he not only explained a lot of what we were seeing but gave us a great insight into some of the culture of the island. The prices in the gift shop he stopped at were too high for my taste (the resort gift shop was actually less expensive), but there was no pressure to buy. The Rose Hall tour was very fun (although my wife was kind of freaked out - but in a good way!). The story behind the house and the land was fascinating and the actors and tourists all had a good time. For the price this is a great deal!I got a confirmation code and tickets for the date and time that I requested. We were waiting to be picked up and they still hadn’t come 30 minutes later than the scheduled time.

I got a confirmation code and tickets for the date and time that I requested. We were waiting to be picked up and they still hadn’t come 30 minutes later than the scheduled time. Thankfully, our hotel concierge was able to contact them and they said that the excursion was cancelled and we can choose another day to do it, but we were leaving Jamaica the next day so that day was our only option. I ended up still going to the great hall through my hotel instead and it was MUCH cheaper. I thankfully did receive a full refund.Disappointingly the museum had an additional cost, not advised by Viator. Couldn’t go in church as there was a funeral. No mention of colonial architecture by the guide, he was quiet but polite and courteous. And when we asked him to stop of on the way back to the hotel it was no problem. The ...
Disappointingly the museum had an additional cost, not advised by Viator. Couldn’t go in church as there was a funeral. No mention of colonial architecture by the guide, he was quiet but polite and courteous. And when we asked him to stop of on the way back to the hotel it was no problem. The Rose Hall tour is simply AMAZING,. our tour guide for the house was lovely and knowledgeable and very clear. One of our party had a funny turn in the house and had to leave, was this down to the White Witch…The tour operator cancelled the excursion because there were not people. That I can understand. They asked if I could go another day. I said yes and asked about specific dates, but I got absolutely no communication from them.

The tour operator cancelled the excursion because there were not people. That I can understand. They asked if I could go another day. I said yes and asked about specific dates, but I got absolutely no communication from them. It's been several days now and they haven't even confirmed that my refund is in process.
