The house itself is very cool. The story about Annie Palmer is embellished just a tad for theatrical effect. The parlour tricks are kinda hokie but fun just the same. Good or a laugh. Jessica was our guide she was very good!

She gave us an amazing tour full of historic insights into plantation life and the tale of the White Witch. There are legends about overnight guests that have encountered the ghosts that haunt the mansion. Although it has been restored since the current... More

We traveled to Montego Bay Jamaica on the Carnival Conquest Cruise Ship out of New Orleans La. Our only shore excursion in Jamaica was the Rose Hall tour. What a beautiful place. The bus from the port was relaxed, comfortable and air conditioned. Our guide (Tess) was funny, and very informative. The guide at Rose Hall was the absolute best.... More

This tour was so awesome! I really love learning about the country's passed history, and this is a great way to do it. You learn about how the Spaniards were the first to conquer the island, then the British invaded, built mansions high up on the mountains away from the ocean, they then imported Africans from Ethiopia to be their...

During classes we had been taught about Jamaica and its attraction and the story of Rose Hall caught the attention of many of my classmate who love ghost stories. So when we went to Jamaica we went on the night time ghost tour. At first I was freaked out because of the ghost stories but about 5 min into the... More
