Ocho Rios shopping tour

It was cancelled but we weren’t told so we stood at the lobby for 30 mins waiting then I went to the tui desk to then be told it was cancelled the day before and we are sorry no one told you. We could’ve booked to do something else if we had known

It has been difficult to rate as I received this message the day before.... 'Hello Clive, we sincerely apologise that your excursion Ochi Shopping Tour scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled due to low booking. Please see your Rep for further information. ( Nicardo TUI)

Tour guide was really good and knowledgeable! Downside was the expensive tourist shops we stopped at before going anywhere else. I think we should have had the choice of not stopping at those types of shops and just going to the local shops.

Terrible trip offered by Tui. States it would be 2-4 hours and would see boutique shops and harbour area of Ocho Rio’s. Instead we were taken to an overpriced shopping mall where staff follow you round everywhere. 20 mins later and we were taken to the Taj Mahal shopping area, where we had one hour. Shops were full of the same overpriced holiday tatt. We were never taken to the harbour and don’t experience anything remotely authentic. Complained to Tui rep and asked for a refund. Avoid….

The time went super quick. Maybe 3hrs should be given. On the plus side the driver was nice, polite and professional.

Tourist trap! Driver lied and said the first shop was cheapest and in fact it was the most expensive and he obviously earned commission there, the second was cheaper and better and the third was a market and locals try robbing you
