Soloman & Sienna have made our planning for a trip such a pleasure...they really work so hard in making our lives so easy! I look forward to a Red Stripe or two with them in their great country...you feel like they've been your friends forever...which I expect they will be. Dave New York City, New York I have been working with this company in planning several action packed vacation days, and they have been incredible with their suggestions and can-do attitude. I strongly recommend them to fellow vacationers. Steven New York City, New York I have read so many good reviews about your service and will be contacting you as soon as we get to Negril. Best Carl Carl Kenosha, Wisconsin This time last year we used ToTT, What a tour, Day long trip to Negril from Whitehouse, wonderful, Could not of been better, Hope to see you guys in the Spring. Carolyn & Dennis Newfoundland Canada We used TOTT from SWH to the Black River Deluxe Tour last Feb. and had an awesome time. Very safe, relaxed, and informative. By the end of the day, it was as if we new Sienna our entire lifetime. Rest assured, that when you use Sala & Sienna, you will not be disappointed. Anthony & Nanette Long Island, New York We were in Negril in Jamaica and we used TOTTT for every time we needed tansportation. They were remarkably professional as well as a wonderful source of information. Sienna was always so great to be with. We liked them so much that we are using them again for all of our transportation and tour needs at the end of November. Will NEVER use another company...we only use the BEST!!! Amy Deitch Chicago, Illinios Getting ready to plan my next day trip with TOTT...My most recent visit in August was our best day in Negril. I brought two teens this trip, and they truly had the time of their lives. Sala and Sienna knew exactly what these girls would like, cliff jumping was their favorite. If you are looking to have the best time possible on a day trip, I highly recommend TOTT. Karen Michigan Sienna and Soloman, we both want to thank you for the awesome tour to the Pelican Bar, Appleton Rum Factory and orphanage. You let us set the pace for the day and never once felt rushed or hurried. And though we have been to Jamaica many times before, we learned so much about your people and their ways. This tour was the highlight of our vacation and we definitely will use you again! Rick and Jillian Brewer California This time last year we used ToTT, What a tour, Day long trip to Negril from Whitehouse, wonderful, Could not of been better, Hope to see you guys in the Spring. Carolyn & Dennis Newfoundland Canadas Sorry this post is so delayed, but while I think I said it in an email, I never did say it here. My daughters Nicki and Torie and I went on the Black River Deluxe Tour on July 31st, and it was really awesome! The drive through the countryside had me seeing a whole other side of Jamaice, and then the boat ride from Treasure Beach, and getting to see the dolphins as they swam and jumped and played in their natural habitat was thrilling! Then to get to what has to be the coolest bar in the world, Pelican Bar, and chill out there for a while. It was really neat when Sienna showed us the sea urchins and how we could actually hold them in our hands. And then right before we left, I had the privilege of meeting Floyd, the creator and owner of the Pelican Bar! And then from the we went up the Black River, and saw the crocodiles! But just as special was the mangrove trees, with their hollow tubes to get the sediment from the riverbottom to feed on, and the birds flying all round. Then we went past the second low bridge where the kids were swimming to where there were some huts and got a chance to stretch our legs a bit, and then go a little bit up a tree, grab ahold of a rope with a stick on it, then swiiiing off into the river. That was scary but exciting! All too soon, we had to head back, and then stopped at this nice restaurant, where we ate before the journey to our hotels. I really enjoyed myself, and can't wait to be able to go to Jamaica to go to another trip with Talk of the Town Tours again, and would recommend them highly to ANYONE! Amy Pike Stigler, Oklahoma Sorry it has taken so long to write you! It has only been a week since we left Negril but it feels like a decade ago. Just wanted to write and thank you so much for the wonderful excursion you brought us on, on Friday September 29. We had a blast and definetly feel the highlight of our trip was seeing the dolphins! You provide a wonderful service and we have already recommended you to several friends! Also we will be returning "home" in September of 07 and bringing with us several other couples. we have already pick the dates and talked to our travel agent. Again thank you for the wonderful time we spent together and we hope to see you soon! Here is the link to our photo page lebetkin.shutterfly.com Please feel free to use any of the shots for your website or share the site with others! We got some wonderful photos of the dolphins and the crocs! Ken and Heather Massachusetts Thanks so much for another great day trip Sala and Sienna. The Office of Nature was a great idea for the younger gals to get a good feel for Jamaica, outside of the resorts..without actually having to leave Negril. And of course the cliff jumping rocked. But most of all, thank you for your hospitality, you really know how to make people comfortable in a foreign environment. See you in a few months, Karen, Lynn, Allyson and Marissa. Karen and Allyson Michigan Ashley and I would like to express our sincerest thanks for your services. They were very helpful and most appreciated. Our first visit to Jamaica will stay with us forever. The hospitality we received from you folks was beyond our expectations. We hope to be visiting you again in the near future. Rest assured that we will also recommend you to others headed towards the Negril area. We had a wonderful time and thanks again. Patrick and Ashley USA Dana and I just wanted to let you both know something,our best time of the whole cruise was our day in jamaica. it was the "REAL jamaica tour", it was tailored to our personal tastes. me and my wife really liked the fact that solomon seemed to not only know everything about jamaica (and it seemed every pothole,lol) but also that you were there, sienna, to interperet what he said,do you know how rare that is,we would have not gotten half of what we did without you to explain. my wife really liked the different fruits and vegetables and what they were used for. we learned more about jamaica in 8 hours than most people will know in their life, and we had a good time doing it,and there is so much more to do there we are going to have to go back when we have more time to stay. i have several friends that are like us and at least two have expressed interest in going to jamaica now if i hook them up with you two we would like to see our new friends do really well,and we believe with your combination they will be taken care of well. anyway we think that you all were great. oh and we liked the fact that you stayed with us the whole day even shopping and guiding us to the good shops where we could save money. we were just really impressed, thank you both for a wonderful time. p.s. my friends were really impressed with the pictures of your garden,lol. Jesse and Dana Texas Liezl and I recently had the pleasure of spending 4 days with Soloman and Sienna during our two week "2nd honeymoon" to Negril. We found both Soloman and Sienna to be incredibly friendly and knowledgable. They gave us an insight into daily Jamaican life and the culture of the Jamaican people. We enjoyed all the tours very much. I'd made contact with TOTTT ten months before our holiday and found all the communication to be quick and professional. We probably won't be back to Jamaica any time soon due to family commitments, but when we do return we'll be sure to book some more trips with TOTTT! Respect mon! Love Michael & Liezl Michael & Liezl Ruurds Dublin, Ireland/ Port Elizabeth, South Africa Soloman and Sienna,we want to thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us. I discovered TOTT tours on the internet and after many emails back and forth, ended up booking the Negril Highlights tour, the Mayfield Falls tour and a horseback riding trip with Country Western Stables. I would recommend each trip. David was our guide for the Negirl Highlights tour and he was able to show us the real Negril. We truely enjoyed seeing the countryside and not just the area tourists get to see. The lighthouse and Rick's cafe were fun and the Craft market was truely an unforgetable experience. I wish I could go back and buy the items I passed up. David, you are a very proud Jamaican and we we enjoyed your tour and company. Soloman and Sienna went with us to Mayfield Falls. If you have never gone there, it is a must see. We stopping at Mountainman Pete's to try some Breadfruit and coconuts and had an unforgetable experience. My children are still talking about him. Mayfield was so beautiful and such fun. On the way home, we went to Country Western stables and Sienna even went riding with us. This was a wonderful choice of stables. We were very pleased. TOTT tours are the BEST. We left Jamaica feeling we had made friends we Soloman and Sienna. We can't wait to return in a few years to explore more of their beautiful country with them as our guides. Keep up the good work and the Kukura's will be back! Thanks, Karin, Pat, Emily and David Karin Kukura Black Lick, Pennsylvania We signed up for a tour with talk of the town tours, based on a review we had read on the internet. This was one of the best tours we have taken in recent years. The best part of the tour was our guide David. We scheduled the tour in advance and put down a deposit. Because no one else scheduled a tour with him for that day he became our personal guide of Jamaica for the day. He promptly picked us up at our hotel the RIU Tropical Bay at 9:00am and we arrived for the 11:00am tour. Our driver was very knowledgable of the country, we were able to take pictures of many of the various crops, businesses, homes and scenery. It was interesting for me as a self employed business person to learn so much about the business community and my wife a history teacher the history of the people. We finished the rum tasting of 21 types of rum at about noon (especially liked the rum cream) and started back. We were able to stop and lunch at a roadside stand on the return trip. What a treat! I played it safe with the fried chicken. It was served with rice and beans and a cabbage salad. My wife had the fried fish and David the steamed fish (head and all). I wished I had tried some of the other selections from the pots on the wood fire such as peanut pooridge, fish tea or the konch soup. Later had konch stew at the resort and thought it was great! Next time I would ask for a to go cup of all three. The lunch for all three of us cost 1,000 jamaican dollars or about $15. The people we met were great. We now appreciate how fortunate we are to have what we have. On the way back we stopped at the grocery store in Negril (HI-Lo) and purchased Jamaican Blue Coffee. We highly recommend this trip to get a real perspective of Jamaica. Gary Born Ripon, WI I wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I really appreciated everything that Talk of the Town did for our group. Some kudos that you can add to your already long list of client testimonials. I'm a tour operator myself, and I know what goes into handling large groups like ours of 35 people. And Talk of the Town did wonderfully, from the time you met us at MBJ until the time you got us back there, and everything in-between. The Black River Deluxe tour was well worth it, well planned, well executed, and will, I'm certain, be the Talk of our group for quite some time. Your vehicles, choice of drivers, timing, costs etc. etc., it was all really spot on. The additional help you provided with anciallary items and needs was really appreciated. Having so many varied folks in our group, along with two infants, I was most keen to find someone with a good rap and good "feel", someone to trust. I believe I was correct in choosing you guys. I would recommend Talk of the Town to anyone looking for an organized way to see some of the sights of Jamaica. And I would be happy to get added to your reference list. And a BIG thanks for recovery of the lost camera. That's even more proof that TOTTT ain't just some ragga muffin outfit. You guys are real family that takes care of your clients as such. I'll have some pics off to you as soon as I am fully digitally recovered. Keep me updated on how you guys are faring, and be well! PS: if you find yourself in Africa or Tahoe..... look me up! Andrew Springsteel California Barry was great! He is a WONDERFUL tour guide who took really good care of us. He knew how to pick the best fruits and veggies and how to get the best deals for us in the market. He even went WAY out of his way to help us find a good deal on Blue Mountain Coffee, rum, and even a Stone Love CD. We even had the best veggie patties while there because of him. He made sure that we didn't get ripped off in the market either because he was able to bargain so well. If you would, please tell him how much we appreciated everything he did for us and how kind he was, especially to my mom. Shawna USA Just wanted to let you guys know what an amazing time we had at Mayfield!!!! DAVID was great and we learned so much about Jamaica from him. He stopped to let us take pictures- we had no idea how many mountains there are in Jamaica!!!!! It was all breathtaking. We both completely fell in love with Jamaica- the landscape, food, the beach, and the people are just wonderful. We can't wait to come again and are bringing our kids with us next time. We will definately use you guys again! We saw for ourselves why you are so highly reccomended!!!! Thanks for everything! Michelle Michelle and Kenny K. USA It was really nice meeting you, Gilbert and Lindsae. I wanted to sent you a quick note thanking you for making my vacation memorable. I had a really good time meeting Miss Tiny and learning about coconuts, climbing the Mayfield Falls and meeting the children at the Baulk Basic School. I hope on coming back to Negril next year and signing up for one of your other trips. Thanks again for making my vacation special. Shirley S. USA Sienna and Soloman are truly wonderful, fantastic people who will show you their world! We took two of the best tours and got an opportunity to see Jamaica in a way that many never get the chance to. We went down the Black River, saw Treasure Beach, went to the Pelican Bar, went to YS Falls, ate at a roadside stand which had fantastic food. We went to Ricks, saw a family yard, went to an elementary school so we could donate items for the children, swam in caves, dove in pools within the caves with a rasta guide, went to Negril beach etc, etc.....They fulfilled our wants in everyway plus gave us sooo much information on Jamaica. They designed the tours to what we wanted to see. We want to thank you Sienna/Sala so much for our experience and look forward to spending time with you two again very soon. I suggest that everyone book through TOTT if you want a fantastic tour!!! Jody/Corey Michigan Now that we have arrived back in Canada, we just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed spending the day with you -- travelling from Ocho Rios to Negril. You made the day memorable (especially eating at the Pork Pit in Mo Bay!). You were wonderful and we appreciated you stopping to show us the numerous sights along the way -- everything from Rose Hall, to the Jamaican Bobsled Cafe to the countryside. We will definitely recommend you to others and hope to see you again - if we are lucky enough to once again tour Jamaica! Thank you Soloman and Sienna! You made our Jamaican experience that much more enjoyable! Jenn, Chris, Kevin, Roxanne, Elaine, Larry, Lyle & Wendy Saskatchewan, Canada Soloman, Sienna, David and Barry due to your professionalism and personnel care for your customers, you all made our week in Negril one of the best Holidays we ever had. The Airport pick-up and Drop-off were perfect. The Tours (Bamboo Rafting + Bird Sanctuary and Mayfield falls) couldn`t be better. DIRK and CHRISTINE BELGIUM TOTT was really great!!! Even though we didn't do any touring, our driver David was really cool. I would highly recommend TOTT. Thanks Again, Michele & Lew from NJ Michele New Jersey Talk of the Town Tours is a must hire for anyone vacationing in Jamaica. My wife and I went on vacation with 6 of our closest friends. We initially hired Talk of the Town Tours to pick us up at the airport and drop us off at the resort. Solomon was waiting for us with a wide smile as we exited the airport. He quickly accommodated our requests to pick up a few red stripe beers to make the ride to the resort a bit more enjoyable. When dropping us off at the resort, he provided us with a cell phone and said that we could contact him anytime during the week if we needed transportation or coordination with a tour. We hired Talk of the Town Tours on three separate occasions throughout the week... • Solomon took all 8 of us to Rick's Cafe to watch the sunset, listen to some live music and watch some crazy people jump from the cliffs into the ocean. Solomon then took us to an unbelievable local Jamaican Restaurant called "Sweet Spice" for dinner. Solomon provided more than just the transportation for this excursion. Instead, he stayed with us throughout the whole time and ate dinner with us. • Solomon and Sienna took us to a Negril shopping plaza called "High Low" for souvenirs. The prices in this area were much more reasonable than the souvenir merchants near the resorts and located on the beaches. Once again, Solomon and Sienna accompanied us throughout our shopping experience. • On the last full day of our vacation, we hired Solomon to take all 8 of us to the "Mayfield Falls". Solomon highlighted landmarks and provided trivia on our drive to the falls. We also stopped along the way to meet a local merchant named "Miss Tiny". Miss Tiny shared freshly picked coconut, mango and stinky toe fruit with us. The entire group had an unbelievable time at the falls. Solomon was very professional and yet also extremely personable. When the sad day came that our vacation was at an end, it truly felt as though we were leaving a friend behind as we boarded the plane. We are already looking forward to scheduling our next trip to Jamaica and seeing Solomon again!! Mark and Darleen Foster Massachusetts, USA Going on a tour with Soloman and Sienna was like being shown around by old school friends. We even met Soloman’s dad and brother. We spent one full day and one half day with them. The afternoon trip around Negril took us to places the resort’s bus didn’t. It was much more interesting going to the local places, meeting the people, and enjoying their food and drink. Sienna had many great ideas of places to go, but there wasn’t any schedule except what we wanted to do. We could stop for a picture of an ackee tree or to grab a snack (try the pork at the Red Dragon or chicken at Three Dives). My wife saw a painting at a stand as we drove around. At the end of the afternoon, they went back to that stand for us. Soloman’s dad, Gilbert, helped us negotiate a price from the gray haired Rasta man and then patiently waited while it was packed up for travel. The full day trip started off with fresh coconut picked by Soloman’s brother from the front yard. The drive overland was filled with lively conversation and included a stop for a delicious pattie. Feeding a hummingbird from your hand at Rocklands bird sanctuary was amazing. Lunch at the Martha Brae Dine and Wine was fun (curry goat… yum!). The raft trip was relaxing and swimming in the Glistening Waters Lagoon can’t even be described… you just have to do it. During a walk around Falmouth we even met the mayor! Staying at the resort was fun, but getting out, experiencing some of the marvels of this country, and meeting its people was what made this vacation so special for us. Soloman and Sienna always had helpful suggestions that you would never get from any other tour guide. Whenever we return to Jamaica, Talk of the Town Tours will be our #1 choice. Gale and Emily Boyd Illinois We honeymooned in Negril from 10/4/05 to 10/14/05. I had been in contact with TOTTT via email for months before we ever even step foot on the plane! Sienna and Soloman customized a few tours for us that fit into our budget and allowed us to see exactly what we were interested in. We spent 2 days with them - the first being an all day excursion to Nine Mile which was absolutely fabulous. The other day was spent at Benji's Paradise, lunch in Sav, shopping in Negril, and watching the gorgeous sunset and amazing cliff divers at Rick's Cafe. We never felt rushed at ANY of our stops. They encourage you to spend as much time as possible soaking in all the beauty Jamaica has to offer. I cannot recommend them enough - anyone that plans on traveling to Jamaica MUST contact them. You will see Jamaica through a whole new set of eyes once with the two of them as your guides! I had already traveled to Jamaica 3 times in the past and I learned things on this trip that I NEVER knew before. I got to see the real Jamaica and it was truly an unforgettable experience. I'm so thankful that my husband had his first experience in Jamaica with such wonderful people as Soloman and Sienna. We WILL be back and we will be contacting them again. I think next time we'll just have them pick us up at the airport and we'll start our tours right then and there! Thank you Soloman and Sienna - hope all is well with both of you and hopefully we will see you again very soon :-) Melanie & Luis Brea, California Hi, Soloman and Sienna! Well, we're back in Montreal, and we both really miss Jamaica. We've already started talking about when to go back! I'm sending a couple of shots of you two and all 4 of us. Once again, thanks for the wonderful day we were able to spend with you both. We loved the horseback riding, and getting to see the "real" Jamaica was unforgettable. If you would ever like a reference please do not hesitate to use our names. When we return (notice I say "when", and not "if") we'll definitely contact you for other excursions. And, of course, if you ever find yourselves in our fair city, please feel free to look us up!! Take care, Michael and Alice. Michael and Alice Canada Hi Sienna, I just wanted to thank you so very much for the trip to Benji's and Roaring river in February. The mud massage was ...well there are just no words for it. It seems that everytime I come to Jamaica I leave alittle more of me there. I just sit back and breathes it all in. I can see why you have made it your home. Going back to the beach was wonderful but the real Jamaica is not just the beach. I met so many wonderful new friends. The main reason for my writing was to say thank you so very much for the special time you gave us that day. It really meant alot to me. Karen USA Robert took us out two times while we stayed in Negril. The first day was for two excursions ... horseback riding to the beach and IN the ocean in the morning, and a hike up Mayfield Falls in the afternoon. Robert's driving NEVER made us feel nervous, and his friendly, warm and informative company made this busy day a true pleasure. He was always asking if we were okay, if we wanted to stop to take a picture, etc. We enjoyed this trip so much, that we called and had him pick us up again for a tour of Negril. He took us off the beaten path and showed us the true Negril. I can't say enough about how Robert was an integral part of our enjoyment of our Jamaican vacation. When we return to Jamaica, we will definitely call Robert ... and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting Negril. Thank you Robert!!! Faith & Jeff P.S. Hope you enjoyed the cashews and New Hampshire Maple syrup! Faith & Jeff New Hampshire Muchas gracias to our new friends Soloman and Sienna. With their help we had a most marvelous day at sea. The children were very excited to ride the fishing boat and to go into the water with the dolphins even if they did not come close enough to touch was a dream come true. Sienna thank you for being so patient with the children to teach them about the sea urchins at the Pelicano Bar. They talk still about the racing shells to all their friends. Never have they seen or done anything like that before. It was very nice to plan the day to stay more time at the Pelicano Bar without rushing to go anywhere else. Mr. Flyd at the bar can come to Spain anytime he want and cook his wonderful fried fish for us again and again. Soloman my friend you were an excellent driver and taught us much of your island. We are so happy to find you on the internet and have you help us with our plans for this day out of the hotel. No hotel tour can compare to you. Someday we hope you can come to Spain to let us show you our part of the world. Juan, Julia and the family Barcelona, Spain We had a great day with Soloman and Sienna on our trip. After a fun and informative drive to Treasure beach Sienna stayed with our small group for the boat ride to the Black River and stop at the Pelican Bar. After returning to shore we all had a nice lunch stop. Then the drive home with a stop at a nearby orphange to see the young kids. Very heartwarming. We also did a quick tour of Sav-La-Mar as well as a stop at Sala's and Siennas home to see their dogs. A perfect day with a good group of people. We highly recommend ToTT. Tim & Leslie Tim Dyck Prince Albert, Saskatchewan It has taken me a few days to write this, as words just are not going to express how wonderful our time with TOTT was last week. From our pick-up with Robert, who not only showed up with his smiling face, but also our request for a few items (cold Stripes). Thanks so much Robert!!!...And then with Sala and Sienna on a day trip to Benji's and Roaring River Caves, and to witness harvest time in the cane fields. I dare anyone to take a tour with TOTT and not come home without considering them friends. You will not find nicer, truer people. Thanks for everthing!!!! and see you next year. Karen Michigan To the best tour guides in the Caribbean, our family would like to thank you for the unforgettable experience we had with Soloman and Sienna. Although we had to adjust our schedule because of the rain, the negril hilites and Mayfield Falls tours were the highlight of our trip. I still remember how Soloman carried our children across the falls effortlessly while my wife and I clumsily stumbled through. It was amazing how kind, caring and insightful they were during our stay and when we return we will book them every day for our entire stay! Brian,Tonya,Britt,Xavier,Cory,Amahn Huntington, WV I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time my sister and I had with ROBERT on our tour of Negril in December. Negril is so beautiful that we are already planning a return trip. Thank you for your services. I've been on other vacation tours, but this was the first personal tour that I'd ever been on. It was a fantastic experience. We felt like we were driving around town with an old friend. We had such a nice time that we recommended you guys to other vacationers. Continued success, Kamilah Kamilah C. USA First and for most, i have to say that the day that we spent with you was truly amazing... You both are wonderful and amazing people to be able to open up your hearts, stories and experiences with us, is a great thing to be able to do... Bringing us to the true and real jamaican places, having us interact with all of your friends was amazing...... Thank you both for a wonderful time, and we cant wait until we are able to come back and spend some more time with you guys again......Ya mon, everything Irie~ Sean and Kristen Sean and Kristen Buffalo, New York Hey guys and gals.....thanks so much for your hospitality and taking us around and showing us where to buy and giving us the "low-down"....we certainly couldn't have done it without you. I did manage to get in touch with Vincent and he took us out on the boat to view the cliffs....he's friggin' cool and we'll certainly use him again only this time to take us out to the reef and snorkel etc.....he's such a good guy....thanks for recommending him. Thanks again and we look forward to doing some more tours with you guys.....#13 kicked ass - thanks. C U soon.... Ron and Jackie Tennessee Soloman and Sienna are the REAL Jamaica. Ryan & Christine Vermont, USA I would recommend Talk of the Town to anyone visiting Jamaica (and I already have, though I've only returned home two weeks ago!). We had a wonderful time touring with Solomon and Sienna, and a particularly great experience with Robert. Robert is such a genuinely sweet person, and a great guide - he seems to know intuitively what to do when. On our long drive from the Montego Bay Airport to Negril, he talked when we wanted conversation, and didn't when we were engrossed in the gorgeous scenery. By the end of that one drive, we felt we'd made a good friend. What a wonderful and fitting introduction to Jamaica. Thanks, TOTT, and especially Robert! - you will see us again. Jean & Saul Las Vegas, NV JAMAICA IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE! WE COULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED, SEEN, AND ENJOYED OURSELVES AS MUCH IF IT WASNT FOR TALK OF THE TOWN TOURS! THANKYOU SIENA, SOLOMAN, AND DAVID FOR A WONDERFUL TIME! MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE FELT SAFE AND RIGHT AT HOME! WE WILL RETURN TO JAMAICA!!!!!!!! Yumi New York Big Thanx To A Special Person and Great Tour Company It's been a month since Mike and I have gotten back from our last trip to Negril, we cannot wait to return. We wanted to thank you for the 2nd time. You guys are great with all the e-mails and trips you have taken us on and your fabulous serve. It could not have been as wonderful if it had not been for DAVID, our driver on both our trips in April and December 2005. You were a great driver and showed us a wonderful and fun time. David also gave Mike and Myshelf a great feeling of being at home so far from home. He also has given us a lot of insight into Jamaican culture. I will be posting other reviews to send more customers your way. We Miss You Already Michelle & Mike Michelle & Mike Malvern, Penns. We've just returned from our Jamaica vacation. I want to sincerely thank both you and your wife Sienna for such a lovely day. We had such a nice relaxing time and felt so comfortable with the both of you. We will definitely recommend your service to other travelers and on any return trip to Jamaica, we wouldn't hesitate to use your service again. Lisa White USA Rachel and I just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the wonderful tours we took in November from Whitehouse. Not only have all of you been very professional, but you offer a very personal touch that makes the trip so much more relaxing and enjoyable. DAVID was our tour guide on the 10th for the Black River Deluxe Tour and we met up with you at Treasure Beach with the group from Negril. What an amazing day. We felt so fortunate to be able to see so much of the southern part of the island and partake in activities and scenery that we could not get anywhere else. ROBERT was our tour guide on the 15th to Negril. We picked up some sinus medicine at the herb/spice farm and was amazed by how quickly it cleared up my cold. We enjoyed meeting Buxton and getting to learn about his farm. Robert was a cracking me up at Rick's, trying to convince Rachel not to jump off of the cliff. Rachel and I have been telling everyone how much we have enjoyed Jamaica, and our trip would not have been the same without you. We will surely contact you for another adventure next time we are in Jamaica and recommend you to all of our friends. Please say hello to David and Robert for us, and thanks to all of you for making our tours so enjoyable and informative. Sean and Rachel. Sean and Rachel Cooney USA It's been almost a week since we've been home from our trip to Negril, and already we cannot wait to return. I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the lovely e-mails, the information and a very special thank you to DAVID, our driver on all three legs of our excursions. He was very sweet, a great driver and showed us many things I know we would not have seen had we just stayed along the 7-mile stretch. He gave us a lot of insight into Jamaican culture and we are spreading the news heartily back home. I promise to post commentary on Trip Advisor as well as IgoUgo very soon in the hopes to send more people your way. Dave asked me to marry him the day after our trip to Benji's, so as you can guess, that place will hold even more special meaning to me (as well as all of Negril!) so please, if you see Benji or Debbie anytime soon, extend my thanks to them as well. We will call upon TOTT the instant we book our next trip back to Jamaica. All the best for a healthy and prosperous New Year to you and your family! Alice and Dave USA I hope you and Sienna are doing well! Carlos and I and our son had the time of our lives with you and Sienna! We learned so much on our trip and you were an excellent driver. The unusual weather made it that much more adventurous! Jeffrey has taken his Jamaican dollars you gave him to show his little school buddies and still is talking about his cliff diving adventures and the crocodiles. We are already planning our return trip! We MUST go back and climb Mayfield Falls it is definitely worth doing again!! We'll let you know when we return, we would love to spend time with you and Sienna again. We are missing Jamaica so much right now. Carlos is wishing you could send jerk pork from the Jerk center (ha ha!). He said even after weeks in the mail it would still taste better than what he makes! Rhonda Vallario Texas Talk of the Town was such a big part of our recent Negril trip! Before we left, the friendly and helpful e-mail correspondence we had with Solomon and Sienna convinced us that we had to go with Talk of the Town. Sienna and Robert picked us up from the airport. Robert is an excellent driver and guide and Sienna is also a wealth of Jamaican information! Because our flight was late, they took us to a cambio and store in Little London because the ones in Negril would've most likely been closed by the time we got there, and we appreciated that forsight as well as experiencing a non-touristy town. We saw Sienna again (at a non-TOTT event) and it was so nice to chat with her and see her smiling face again! Robert was also our driver for our Mayfield Falls excursion - he always arrived exactly on time and was warm, courteous, accommodating, entertaining and enlightening, not to mention a great driver that we always felt safe with - we love Robert!! Mayfield Falls was awesome - we enjoyed the fried chicken and rice and peas lunch served to us in our private hut and Tony our river guide was phenomenal! It was an exhilarating river hike - sometimes the maneuvering got a little challenging, but we could do it all with Tony's help, and we had fun frolicking in all the whirlpools and diving holes. Tony was also an enthusiastic cameraman for us, capturing our journey with both our digital and video cameras. And we're so glad and appreciative that we got to spend more time with Robert as he drove us to the airport at the end of our journey - again, he's an outstanding guide and driver and a great person who we are happy to have met. We feel like we have found true friends in Robert, Sienna and Talk of the Town. We don't know when we'll be back in Negril, but we look forward to seeing our Talk of the Town family again when we return. We will send pictures soon! Let us know if you ever come to New York. Sharon and Greg New York, USA Getting caught up back at home has been hard, we miss Jamaica more than you know. You showed us the best times and being with you and your family far suppassed our expectations! The day we went to Treasure Beach for a ride with the fisherman to the Pelican Bar and up the Black River still is like a dream Who would have thought you could safely swim in a river that most people think is full of crocodiles???? And finding about 20 dolphins that played around our boat was something that without pictures our friends wouldn't have believed. The Mayfield River Walk and the "farm" tour with your uncle David was another great day. Mayfield was everything you said it would be. It was a great way to combine our interest in plants! Talking to the farmer about the herb cultivation and trekking through the cane was quite the experience. Jennifer absolutely adored the horseback riding in the sea and we thoroughly were fascinated with the up close look at life in a "family yard" and meeting your father and brother and no I still don't mind I lost the dominoe game! I know you don't have a calendar yet for 2007 but if we don't see you next year as planned, you can count on us seeing you the following year. Thanks again for such wonderful memories. If you ever make it to London you know you're welcome to stay with us anytime! Dan & Jennifer Thomas London First off, I'd like to thank TOTT for a great tour to Mayfield Falls back in May with Jodie & John and Kevin & Joanne from SandalsWhitehouse. We had the best time riding with Sala and getting to experience Jamaica from a different perspective! Miss Tiny's roadsidestore was a great stop and Riverwalk guide "Two-Fifty" was amazing, not to mention the natural beauty of the falls! Thanks again for a great trip in May and we're looking forward to another great tour in October! Jon Williams USA Our hotel in Montego Bay offered a tour of Negril but I had set up a private ride on my own a couple of months before our trip for our group of 4 and am so, so, so pleased we did!!!!!!! We got so much more from our trip than those from our hotel did, it's like they didn't even go to the same town as us! When I first wrote to Soloman, we emailed back and forth twice or maybe three times I'm not sure. It was well worth the effort! And it was just to work out the details of what we wanted. Soloman you were so patient with me, thank you! We wanted to see Negril but a little taste of what it might be like to live in a small town. Soloman picked us up fom our hotel and took the inland road through fruit orchards and little communities. We dropped into the parish capital, then drove through his community and we stopped in his family's yard and met his father and brother and had a cold drink and a bathroom stop in Soloman's house and picked up his wife, Sienna who went on the tour with us. We learned how people live in homes that must be built year by year once the money making season is over. Someday, Sienna said about 8 years, it will be very nice. The bathroom is clean, has running water, is indoors (her luxury!) and is the only mostly finished room so far!! Then we went on into Negril. We got to walk the main beach and Sienna showed us the ins and outs of what to expect. It was fun and not at all intimidating. The kids enjoyed browsing the vendors tables and looking for "treasures". We got to walk through a couple of properties we had heard about before we wound up booking an AI in Montego Bay for our first trip to the island. I can tell you, when we return to Jamaica we won't go that route again, too many other options out there that better suit our family's lifestyle and we'll definely, but definitely, stay in Negril this next time. We had lunch at the Office of Nature - simple but very Jamaican, outdoors on Bloody Bay, delicious grilled fresh caught lobster. The kids swam and played on the beach until the food was ready and jumped right back into the beautiful water before we left. We had time to lay out on the main beach and go shopping for all the things we had to bring back as gifts. We had brought our snorkeling equipment as Soloman suggested and snorkeled off the cliffs and caves of the west end and stayed for dinner at 3 Dives (more lobster for two of us, jerk chicken for the kids) and left Negril about 7:30. We saw the cliff jumpers at Pirate's Cave and Rick's Cafe and my husband and teen aged son happily joined them at both places! It was a long day, but perfect. By the time we got back to the hotel about 9pm, we showered, and fell asleep so content and satisfied. Everyone woke up with a smile still plastered on their faces the next day. The kids are already starting their countdown to Easter break of 2006! Hospitable, warm, concerned for your welfare, wonderful driver and companions, these two people are gems!! Soloman and Sienna thank you again (and again, and again) for a truly wonderful day. At least twice a week both children mention something they remembered you told them, or showed them on the trip. You've turned them into what you call "Jamaicaholics" for real!! The Jeffersons will be seeing you both again in about 8 months!! The Jefferson Family Atlanta, Ga I just wanted to tell you how much Dave and I enjoyed our tours with you both. Wow, hard to believe we're back home again. I still feel there is so much I didn't get to see, and so much more to learn there. I know we'll be back again and we'll definately look you guys up for more trips. I can't express fully how much fun we had with you both, and also how much we learned. What an amazing country and such wonderful people too! Jenny and Dave USA Soloman Kerr and his wife Sienna turned our Jamaican vacation into spectacular memories that will last us a lifetime. Bruce & Margaret Sacramento, CA I just wanted to thank you for helping make our trip a success. The tour to YS Falls and Black River was sooo nice. We never felt rushed . The kids enjoyed stopping on the road side for coconut water and sugar cane. Our little guy brought home the piece of lemon grass you picked, in his shorts pocket. (don't tell airport customs about that one...) The big family trip you arranged to St Ann went great. We got to visit the Bob Marley Mausoleum on our way up. We visited my brother in laws uncle in Alva. The kids saw chickens, goats and pigs, many fruit trees, a huge garden complete with yams growing towards the sky. It was awesome. Our driver was very patient and friendly. The bus was big and comfortable. That trip made our vacation extra special. I will make sure to tell everyone I know that will be travelling to Jamaica to use Talk of the Town Tours. You are a first rate operation. It was great meeting you. Thanks again Debbie Carey USA We have been thinking of Negril and you and Solomon often. Our photos are beautiful. We especially love the ones of the kids at Our Lady of Hope Children's Home in Black River. It was fun to play with the kids and enjoy their smiling faces. Thank you again for your hospitality and wonderful service. Know that your good service should pay off. Word is definitely getting around! You should be proud of the business you have made together. Karin Wetherill Rhode Island We've hired TOTT twice now and couldn't be more pleased. Sala is a sweetheart and a wonderful driver, so is David. They were on time to meet us, took the time to explain to us what we saw along our way, and were willing to stop for fruit, a photo...wahtever we wanted. I "designed" my own tour and Sala was glad to work it out for us, they are very flexible. Skip the hotel tour and book with TOTT - it's a much more thorough experience! Liz and Philip Ohio, USA Talk of the Town is the best tour service ever. Soloman, Sienna and David made our experience in Jamaica an awesome one. I will definately be looking them up on any return trips we make!! I wish we had been able to do more with them. Honest and reliable, full of knowledge of the island. A great bunch of people! Very genuine indeed! Kris Savage Connecticut, USA Soloman has a way of making everyone feel comfortable, respected and safe. His vast knowledge of Jamaica assured us that we would not only experience the tourist attractions in Jamaica but take us off the beaten path as well. Angelia Hairston Atlanta, Georgia I have known Soloman for years and he was instrumental in helping me and my family see the Jamaica I longed to see, off the beaten path. He provides safety, comfort and great companionship. When you are touring with Soloman you are in good hands literally becoming family with him by the end of your journey. I love this man and his lovely wife Sienna. Nina Doran Mt. Kisco, NY Whether you are an experienced Jamaican traveler or someone that is new to the island, I highly recommend Soloman Kerr with Talk of the Town Tours. You are guaranteed to have an irie time and will always feel safe and secure with Sala behind the wheel. Dale Price Louisville, KY Our annual vacation to Negril would not be complete without a tour by Talk of the Town. Soloman is a wonderful guide and has helped us discover many interesting and exciting places in Jamaica. We always feel comfortable with Soloman and highly recommend Talk of the Town Tours to anyone that would like to experience all that Jamaica has to offer. Rodney & Traci Young Lexington, NC We could go on and on about how wonderful Soloman is! We have toured with Soloman for many of our Jamaican vacations and he has shown us every tourist attraction that we have wanted to see as well as many beautiful places that are off the beaten path. Sala treats his customers like family, always looking out for their well being. We have taken our children with us on many trips and Sala is their absolute favorite as he patiently answers all their questions. He's always on time and has a warm smile that makes you feel like family the minute you meet him. Paul & Martina Wobbe Springfield, MO What truly makes Jamaica a home away from home for us is the people we have met and friends that we have made over the years. Soloman Kerr, from Talk of the Town Tours, is one of those people. He has been a loyal, trustworthy and knowledgeable guide and friend throughout the years. Joe & Tami Pitts Lowell, MI I met Soloman in April of 2002 and have used Talk of the Town Tours exclusively since then. Sala is the safest, most courteous and professional driver that I have used in all my travels to Jamaica. Sala is not just my regular driver; he is also a dear and trusted friend. We have traveled around the entire island of Jamaica many times together and I will always recommend Sala to my friends and family with confidence. Ed Hershberger Minneapolis, MN I cannot describe the professionalism and courtesy that Soloman treated us with. Not only did he make us feel safe, but we got treated with the utmost respect just because we were with him. There is no better way to experience the real Jamaica than with Soloman Kerr of Talk of the Town Tours. Brooke White New York, NY In all my trips I have yet to be able to use these highly recommended people. This coming May I am booked with them. It's about time I knew first hand who I recommend constantly! LOL. Soloman has been the very best at responding to my emails immediately. He even remembered corresponding with me in past years. Hard to imagine with all their requests. I cannot wait to meet these lovely souls. Thank you. Catherine Koepke Collingwood, ON Canada We recently took our first trip to Jamaica and used Talk of the Town for two tours. Solomon, Sienna, and David were extremely polite and accomodating. We had a group of 16 for one of the tours and everything went off without a hitch. They honored every request that we had as a group and individually. Talk of the Town helped to make this a memorable trip and our best vacation to date. Dee and Philip Orlando, FL We have been fortunate enough to meet both Sala and David and they are both great! They not only provided friendly, safe transpotation, but helped us with pre-planning and made great recommendations! It is easy to tell that they enjoy sharing their island with visitors. Tim and Tammy Davis Wisconsin We took 2 tours with TOTT on our recent trip to Jamaica. Soloman and Sienna are truly delightful and informative. We have taken hotel-sponsored trips before, but we have never learned nearly as much as we did with them! If you want to be well-treated and highly informed, book with TOTT. We will most certainly use them for tours in the future! Claudia and Jerry Knoxville, Tennessee I have known Soloman for 4 years and have been out on 5 tours with him and wouldn't think of visiting Jamaica without using Talk of the Town Tours. Experiencing the real Jamaica with Sala is always the highlight of my vacation. He has become by best friend in Jamaica. Frank Kukla Louisville, KY
