First of all I want to thank Tanisha of Tourwise who responsibly responded to my emails providing pickup information and our driver, Norris, who made the trip fun. Norris was friendly and serviceable as all Jamaican people are. We were the only ones at the Green Grotto Caves and friendly greeted by Sabrina who prepped for the tour. Our tour guide, Dwayne, was the best in providing the history surrounding the caves. He was very passionate in telling it’s stories and we were fortunate to have him as our tour guide. It felt as a private tour just for us. The beauty of the caves were amazing and worth the trip there. Highly recommend it.
