Fun and interesting experience for the family. Learned a lot from the local guide and enjoyed trying the different fruits and foods. “Staff” at the farm made us feel like part of their family.

We had an absolute great time on our tour of the farm. Lescells was very knowledgeable and brought the tour to life from the time of pickup until rwe returned. We enjoyed learning about the many medicinal properties of the herbs and plants there. We even tasted fruits and herbs straight from the plants. We had our children with us, so it is fun for adults and children. Leavell was a great tour guide,and the provided lunch was delicious and natural.

The experience was amazing!!! Really got to see Jamaica and not just a port. The guide was funny and very knowledgeable. The fruit and the food was great (and totally from the farm). Would do the excursion again the next time we are back in Jamaica.

Great tour, the guide was awesome, the farm was beautiful, and the food was delicious. The guide even tracked us down after we became confused as to where to meet, that was greatly appreciated!

Being able to visit a local farm and hear about the herbs etc was really nice. The home cooked meal was even better!

this was an extraordinary time seeing some rural areas, and visiting a farm to learn about all the various island plants and herbs and their medicinal value. Lescells is extremely knowledgeable, and gives you frequent opportunities to taste and smell the various plants and learn about there benefits. an easy going tour that doesn't knock you around just to get there and back!! GREAT PEOPLE!! and a great traditional lunch and local beverages!!

As with the other reviews.. Lacelles was great, he really knows is stuff and he is very polite, friendlyand helpful. It was an enjoyable ride to the farm. I wasn't able to complete the whole tour because of all the hills and my knees just wouldn't cooperate but it was still great. I enjoyed the learning of different herbs and the fruit tasting was yummy. Also, the lunch was good.

What a memorable experience for us. My wife is really into natural health and authentic, preferably organic, foods and we ate some of the most amazing fresh fruits that we had never even heard of. Lacells was a fantastic your guide and lunch at the end of the garden tour was something we will always remember. This tour is geared for serious healthy foodie types, which I am not... but I still had a great experience learning about the indigenous herbs, spices, fruits a s vegetables.
While not inexpensive, I felt the value was good and I would highly recommended for those into food-health and looking to get off the beaten path.
