Here are a few reviews from satisfied clients

 

 We all had a fabulous time at A Summer Place!! ......  We also want to tell you how much we enjoyed Dwight or driver from Karandas tours.  He was so informative and very nice.  We really had a great week with him ......

Thanks again,
Heather

=================================

We had a fabulous time, as we knew we would, at the Afterglow....... Of course, what really made our trip was our van driver, Denton from Karandas Tours. We have vowed that we will never return to Jamaica without Denton as our driver/guide. He took us everywhere -- arranged for our snorkeling, parasailing and tubing adventures. He made us feel safe wherever we went. He is absolutely the best. ........ Thank you for making our fifth anniversary and our friend's 50th birthday a lovely experience.

George and Robyn

=================================

What can I say except the 2nd time around was as great or better than the 1st. This time we were really able to sit back and enjoy ..... looking at everything like we did 2 years ago.  Again, the Afterglow would NOT be as good as it is........  Denton from Karandas tours (van driver) was great.  He took us to different places than we had been before, especially the river rafting, that is a beautiful place. He made sure we were always taken care of and that no one bothered us. Wherever we wanted to go, he was ready to take us.  Not only can he drive really well, you need to book him to sing for the visitors and the dancing was fun too.   We will be back .........  Thank you for having such a great vacation place.

We just got back from our Jamaican vacation and I just wanted to email
you to let you know that we absolutely loved our driver Daniel from Karandas Tours! He was such an asset to our vacation!  He was there for us whenever we needed him and really gave us some wonderful insight into the culture and
lifestyle of the Jamaican people.  He was very professional, yet very personable!  We were all sad to leave Jamaica and Daniel!  Thank you again for providing us with such a wonderful driver.  You made our perfect vacation that much more. perfect!"

=================================

Just wanted to thank you again for getting everything together for us. We loved both Edgewater and Afterglow villas.  The wedding was perfect ........ We could not have asked for anything different. We can only give you the best rating. Also what can we say about Denton our van driver from Karandas Tours. As I said in my previous message , we'll plan our next visit only if Denton is available. When you talk to Denton the next time ask him about the fish???????? Our best man got us Billy Bass (it's one of those fish that sings) Denton youngest son had a great time playing with it....one song it sang was DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY it was a real hit ..... thanks again. 

George and Robyn

=================================

We had a fabulous time at Bay Watch. The house was very nice, ........ Clifton, our driver from Karandas tours, was very sweet and got us to where we needed to be. We had a great week…we hope we can do it again sometime! ....... We were so sad to leave!

Sincerely,
Julie, Todd, Greg, Terri, Abbi, Adam, Bridget, Krista and Colin

=================================

I felt moved to write to you and tell you a little about my stay at Bay Watch. I've been on vacation before but never have I been so touched by an experience. ....... Clifton from Karandas tours was there right on time -- smiling and ready. ....Never having been to Jamaica before I had many questions, all of which he answered and also had other funny little anecdotes to tell. This was my first look at Jamaica and it's people -- I was already impressed....we all look forward to going back very soon.

Sincerely,
Donna.

=================================

I would like you to know that our vacation at Lime Acres was so much more than a vacation. We had it all.......... I can seriously say it was PERFECT!
 Our driver Eugene (Geno) from Karandas Tours was not only kind and extremely knowledgeable, he was witty and had a come back for anything we threw his way.  He was our protector and never let any of us out of his sight.  He took pictures on our excursion to YS Falls, so we could all enjoy ourselves.  He deserves so much more than a pat on the back. Please make sure that his company knows what an important asset he is to them.  Thank you so much for allowing us to share the best kept secret in Jamaica. I would definitely book another trip ....  Thank you again for an experience of a lifetime.   Give thanks and praise.

=================================

Our vacation at Coral Cay was amazing and the wedding was fabulous..Denton & Clifton from Karandas Tours treated us like family. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back!

Thank-you.

=================================

Just a quick note to say we had a great trip to Jamaica.  Your drivers were fabulous. Our kids really enjoyed the day they spent with Daniel from Karandas tours touring around the area.  It made us feel better knowing they were in good company. Till next time.....Happy Holidays

Thank you for the driver we used he was great. Made such a difference on our trip to Jamaica. Daniel was great. Good tour guide recommend him very much. He was the best driver any of us every had cannot express that enough. 

Suzanne Spera 

=================================

Just a quick note to say THANK YOU!
Bailey from Karandas Tours made our visit in OCHO RIOS very enjoyable in spite of the inclimate weather.  He was there when we needed him to go places between showers and guided us through some very bad rain Storms safely.
His concern and courtesies shown to the group, walking Mrs. Henderson into
the Unfamiliar Casino, carrying umbrellas so they didn't get drenched, and a
hundred other little kindnesses that I'm sure we couldn't have an
opportunity to repay. Please say THANK YOU again to Bailey!

Best Regards,

=================================

The only major complaint that my friends and I had (this is a big one) was that the vacation wasn’t long enough........ Clifton from karandas Tours was timely and friendly.  His knowledge of the terrain and easygoing manner was well appreciated.  I am grateful that we were lucky enough to work with him. My friends and I travel a great deal and we were very impressed with the Windjammer staff, and Karandas Tours.

Thank you!
Marsha Perry

=================================

My friend Marsha Gore and I booked this vacation as a celebration of our
children graduating from high school and going to college this Fall. When
we secured all of the arrangements we never knew that this vacation would
have been such a positive and enjoyable experience for us all. Marsha and
her children (Brittny and Nazim) have learned to love new foods (thanks to
Miss Dorothy's cooking) and Nazim even learned to swim! I just wanted to share with you our many compliments on the excellent customer service we received on our vacation. Our driver, Dwight , from
Karandas Tours was prompt, professional and a wealth of information. Although most of our party had not visited Jamaica prior to this trip, he made everyone comfortable and was a wonderful tour guide. Having someone who was not only knowledgeable about the terrain, but also the culture and nature was educational and enjoyable. (I wish I had knowledge of his expertise and easygoing manner earlier so that I could have requested his services for our next trip in August.) ...., we had an excellent vacation and everyone is already asking when we are booking the next trip to Jamaica. You truly live up to the saying - "Jamaica, no problem!"

Thank you!
Marsha Perry

=================================

We had the best vacation of our lives at Edgewater.  Our family of seven, two married sons and daughter, could not have been more pleased with the villa........ Finally, we could not have been more pleased with our driver, Harry of Karandas Tours.  Harry always had a song or a story to keep us entertained.  Harry saved us at Dunn River Falls!  Unaware we had left our money in the van, we left his van to enter the Falls.  Harry, amazingly, had positioned himself to observe our entry.  He noticed our peril and rescued us.  Our day at the Falls would have been ruined without the wise and caring attitude Harry showed that day ... and every day of our stay.  He even took us on random trips to show us the sights and a surprise visit to James Bond Beach and Sting Ray Bay.

Nat Millican

=================================

Sorry for the delay, we wanted to find just the right words to say.  However, since I don't think there is an actual word for way beyond perfection, we'll use these......Everyone raved about how nice it was to have such service. Dwight from Karandas Tours(and his crew) was unbelievably gracious to us and our guests in accommodating all of their needs and requests.....Our  wedding ended up being everything that we had dreamed it would be and much much more.  We would like to thank you profusely for all of the things that you made possible in putting this together.  We will highly recommend you to every single person that we know and we look forward to booking our fifth anniversary trip back to Frankfort with you.  Oh, and one more thing.  ... Be well and thank you thank you thank you...

Lynnette and Hugh 

=================================

We got back from Wag Water villa on Saturday after a brilliant week.....Our driver, Harryfrom Karandas Tours is a driver I would recommend to anyone. This was the second time we have used Harry and he is someone who deserves to be working every week. He is a very safe driver who seems to know everyone on the island. If you have kids, he is just the best. Wag Water is a excellent villa. ....Ask for Harry Hunter the driver. He is so friendly, warm and accommodating. 

Thanks.

=================================

I wanted to let you know that we had the most amazing vacation at Endless Summer. We where there to get married and honeymoon/vacation with our families..... I read all the reviews, but never thought it would be as wonderful as it was  ........ I have to say, Dwight  from Karandas Tours made our trip! He was awesome, and took such good care of us, everyone loved him. We have a life time of memories and hope to return to Jamaica and Endless Summer.

Sincerely
Hope Kennedy Allen

=================================

Our driver, Clifton from Karandas Tours, was waiting for us when we walked out of the terminal and I immediately felt his warmth.   I'm so glad you suggested that we get the driver for the week.  He was full of knowledge about the island and kept us informed.  It started to pour while we were on our way and at times I could barely see out of the window but he got us to our destination - he is an excellent driver and was always there when we needed him to be.........

Thank you for all of your help.  Until next time...."
Corliss Kirkland

=================================

As promised, dropping you a line to say that my family and I (Beverley and
the 'Marcel' family) arrived home safely.Thank you for providing us with competent drivers yet again on our holiday,.... Hopefully, all being well, we will return to JA and will therefore contact you/the company again with a view to facilitating our travel around the island.Thank you.

Regards
Beverley

=================================

This is my formal thank you for suggesting the venue for our vacation of a lifetime. "Endless Summer" took all of our breaths away. ............... . We were greeted at the airport with such professionalism and the warmest smile from "Dwight," our driver from Karandas Tours. He continued to be not only our driver, but a host which definitely exhibited the most ......... So, my guests and I would like to thank you and the staff of Endless Summer for a job well done. We all felt right at home and had tears in our eyes upon leaving such wonderful accommodations. We will do it again!! 

Angela

=================================

I wanted you to know that I had the wedding of my dreams in Jamaica. I especially wanted you to know that the staff at the Endless Summer and my driver Dwight from Karandas Tours made our day and stay more special. .... Dwight was the nicest man I've ever met and he really looked out for us......Thank you for everything you both have done to make it all possible! ... please also use me for a reference if you need to. I'm sad to be home, but grateful for the memories.

Regards,
Jessica

=================================

Emerald Seas was simply awesome, we couldn't have asked for anything better...........Having Clifton from Karandas Tours as our diver made a big difference, I'm glad we decided to go that route.  All in all, it was a great vacation.  Emerald Seas is truly paradise.  Thanks for your help in making the arrangements for us".

Best regards,
Patrick

=================================

WOW!!!!...... Other than the delicious food, I think that we were most impressed with our driver services.  Denton from Karandas Tours was superb.  His knowledge of the island was greatly appreciated and his charming way was refreshing. We will be returning to Jamaica in probably 2-3 years. Thanks again!!"

Maureen,

Wanted to thank you for making the shuttle service a breeze; the drivers were extremely nice, very courteous and helpful and did their best to make the ride comfortable. 

Sincerely,

=================================

I returned from Jamaica a week ago and just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated how professional, organized and friendly everyone was from Karandas Tours.  I was with the Vicki Brandt party and our driver was Bailey....he was awesome.  Thank you so much...and I hope to be contacting you next year for your business!  THANK YOU for helping to make my trip one of the best I've ever taken.

Just got back from our Jamaican vacation and I just wanted to email you to let you know that we absolutely loved our driver Daniel!  He was such an asset to our vacation!  He was there for us whenever we needed him and really gave us some wonderful insight into the culture and lifestyle of the Jamaican people.  He was very professional, yet very personable!  We were all sad to leave Jamaica and Daniel!  We would like to send him some "California gifts" but were in such a hurry at the airport that we forgot to get his address.  If possible could you forward my email to Daniel so that we can get an address to send our package to?  If you would like any recommendations for your company, we would be more than happy to do so.  We have already talked to the house manager of the villa we stayed at regarding your company.  They were very impressed with Daniel too.  Thank you again for providing us with such a wonderful driver.  You made our perfect vacation that much more perfect!

I just wanted to take minute to tell you that the transportation service we received in Jamaica was exceptional.  Daniel, our driver, was very informative, accommodating and yet enjoyable to be around.  We were so very happy to have him as our driver. We feel that his presence in itself was a major contribution in the success of our visit to Jamaica.  He was in essence, “the icing on the cake".  We will be sure to recommend your service to all our family and friends. 
 
Thank You,

=================================

Yes, we had a great time in Jamaica, we liked our driver but I can't remember his name, he was very funny and told us a lot about Jamaica, we would love to come back again some day, I would call your company and use your services.

Thanks for a great day

We hired Karandas Tours for transfers to and from our Resort.  Both Rudolf and Anthony were excellent hosts!  Both offered information about Jamaica that we found helpful and interesting. 

We heard about Karandas Tours on travel reviews and recommended them to friends without having known how it would work out - we would most definitely recommend Karandas Tours now to all our friends traveling to Jamaica. 

Thanks again to both Rudolf and Anthony (keep practicing the singing!)

Cory Burton

=================================

This past vacation for my family was our fourth visit to your beautiful
island. However, it is the first time we've used a private transfer to our
hotel.  We found both drivers very friendly, prompt and informative.  We
also loved the fact that by the time we checked in to our hotel, changed
into our swimsuits, ate lunch and were headed to the pool - we caught
sight of fellow travelers from our airplane just getting to the hotel!!
It will be my pleasure to recommend your company to any of my future
clients vacationing to Jamaica.

"Karandas tours driver Daniel was super they should be very proud of how he does is job very professional courteous and knowledgeable . If we came back we would want him for sure".


Cheryl

=================================

Yeah man, we can say that we are satisfied. We were picked up as expected and had a pleasant ride. Therefore, we could get to know Jamaica better. Both drivers were very responsive to our requests. We had some fun and Caught up some Patois. Please say hallo to Rudolph and Michael.
Especially Rudolph who helped us to get orientation with habits and prices buying Ackee and Star apples.

Cannot let any more time elapse before singing the praises of Daniel. A supreme Ambassador for Tourism! Always on time, polite, helpful and humble. A combination that is getting more difficult to find in these days. Thank you so much for all your efforts.

Kind Regards,

Always singing Dwight, has a song in his heart ready to be on display for all the world to enjoy!??
Okay, so enjoy may be a bit of a stretch when referring to Dwight's singing, but this I can assure you, he provided many giggles & snorts of laughter with his proclamations of professionalism to his craft of music!!!  Dwight proved to be more than a driver and singer, he offered friendship freely and we enjoyed his company.... I can honestly say I am not a religious person of a particular faith, however I am a spiritual person of belief in human contact and interaction.  I believe we met… good, hard-working individuals for a reason...to make us a better well-rounded, informed, friendly individual in the lives of others we encounter.  We saw, we ate, we experienced Jamaica that cannot be found on a Island/hotel resort.  We will always fondly hold dear to our hearts our memories made special from our hosts … & Dwight.  Please, please use our experience to encourage others to visit …

We look forward to the day our paths may cross again.

We were pleased with our transfers both to and from the Kingston airport. Both times the car was there on time and the drivers were very pleasant (Unfortunately, I cannot recall their names).
It was nice going business with you.

Julli, my mother, and I visited your beautiful country during the week of May 26th this year and had contracted with your company for a private driver for the length of our stay.
In today's world, it is always much easier to criticize than to commend and appreciate someone but it is not everyday that you meet an individual such as Mr. Daniel Hoilett. There were so many "thank you"s that we had expressed to him but yet I feel that there are not enough words that could adequately express our experience and appreciation.
Daniel was an excellent driver; He most helpful during our trip; He didn't mind taking the time to provide additional details about your country's history or culture; and his great attitude, sense of humor, and knowledge really impressed us. All the drives that we had taken during our stay, Daniel was a perfect Gentleman and we consider him "FIRST-CLASS"!
It is a real pleasure to have met such a professional and kind human being that treats the customer like part of his own family. With all the time we had spent with him, he became part of our family and it was true sadness to say goodbye to him. We feel Daniel is a extremely valuable employee of your company, we were completely spoiled and taken care of.
We miss him, thank him again, and thank you for putting us together with him.

Dave Ryszkowski, Julli Harrod, & Kazia Ryszkowski

=================================

I hope you are doing well.
I just wanted to inform you that you and Bailey were absolutely wonderful during our stay at the Coral Cay Villas. Bailey was awesome and everyone thought he was great. Please give him our best and let him know that he was the coolest driver ever!
Also, many thanks for arranging for the last-minute Bob Marley tour for our friend.
Anyways, I just want to thank you and you staff for working with us to help make our dream wedding week become a reality. Everything was perfect and once again Jenna and I want to thank you and Bailey for all of your hard work.
We will definitely recommend Karandas Tours to anyone we know looking to go to Jamaica!!!
Thanks again!

Jack

=================================

I greatly enjoyed the transportation service provided by your company, Karandas Tours.  Dwight was our driver both from and to the airport.  He was fun and friendly, making our just over an hour drive very enjoyable.  Your company made our transportation both safe and stress-free.  I would highly recommend your company to anyone traveling in Jamaica.
