I would like to share my experience with a private tour company in Ocho Rios called "knowjamaicatours". Being an experienced cruiser, i was a bit nervous about the OR port until i was given info by a fellow CC member about contacting "knowjamaica" tours. Marva, the owner responded prompting when i emailed her at knowjam@gmail.com. My DH and I were... More

My friends and I booked with Marva after reading the excellent reviews on this site. Email communication was always very prompt and she had no problem in adding an extra person to our party a few weeks after our initial booking. Upon arriving in Ocho Rios, we had to ask around for Marva and waited about 15 minutes before being... More

We booked this tour because of the great reviews. Marva said that she would meet us at the dock one hour after our ship docked or before so, after docking at 8:00 a.m., we disembarked and we were waiting where the tours meet by 8:20. Marva did not arrive until 9:10. By that time we met other people from our... More

We highly recommend KnowJamaica Tours!! We went on a cruise from Royal Caribbean (Jan 2011) with our family of six, which included adult and teenage children. Marva, the owner, was awesome to work with in scheduling our tour and gave suggestions to what we might want to do. We even had a mix up of our where our ship was... More

All these reviews are accurate! Marva is excellent! Answers your emails quickly, reasonably priced, informative and overall wonderful! She took us to the falls for 1/4 of the price that the cruise ship was charging! She was waiting for us off the boat. Got right in her van, stored our belongings in the car while we climbed the falls and... More

Private tours are more expensive than group tours but if you do it with Marva it is totally worth it!!! We stopped in Jamaica only for one day in a RC cruise, it was our honey moon so we decided to go for the best. Marva was very pleasant, gave us a lot of information on Jamaica and took us... More

As if Marva Shaw and her company needs yet another excellent review about she and her company they truly deserve it!!!! We got off our cruise ship and met Marva herself at the dock just as promised. She took my husband and 10 yr old son and myself everywhere, we got back on the ship and bragged about her and... More

I worked with Marva via email to arrange a private tour for a group of 13 from 10 to 76. We knew we wanted to do Dunns River Falls and rafting or tubing. She recommended tubing and it was the right choice. We had a great tour with and loved both the Falls and tubing. We did eat at The... More

We recently visited Jamaica on a Carnival Cruiseship and decided to book our excursions outside of what the ship offered. We found KnowJamaica Tours and Marva Shaw on Trip Advisor and all the reviews are completely accurate! Javia was our guide for the day and we went tubing on the White River (excellent fun for all ages) and then asked... More
