We hired a driver called Blake (who is our shuttle from and to the airport) to take us on an excursion for today (Bob Marley's Mausoleum, Rose Hall Great House and Luminous Lagoon). We really enjoyed visiting Rose Hall great house as it was on our Jamaica bucket list for a long time. Our tour guide Erica was really nice and knowledgeable. Her stories were captivating and mesmerizing. She was really good and friendly. The tour was great and well managed. I took a lot of pictures and we had a great time. It didn't disappoint and I really recommend it.

{"0":"You get a lot of history of the property which includes when it was built and the ownership chain.\n\nOut tour guide was very detailed and knowledgeable on the subject matter. She was able to answer the questions that came from our group.\n\nYou get a quick tour of the grounds and a more detailed tour of the Great House with all the rooms. In each room, you get a bit of history on the furnishings and the relationship to the owner.\n\nVery scenic property. The tour was worth it.","2":["0","98"]}

I have taken both the day and night tour at Rose Hall Great House and thoroughly enjoyed both tours particularly the night tour for its atmospheric rendering of the legend of Annie Palmer. The tour guides I had were courteous, knowledgeable and professional. A gift shop that sells quality souvenirs and a basement bar serving refreshments are located within the premises of the attraction. Be prepared for several heart stopping jump scares with the night tour. There is ample parking close to the entrance and entrance fees are reasonable.

A piece of history preserved. Can't wait to go to the night tour!!!! Staff were courteous and knowledgeable. There is a basement bar, try the white witch. There is a gift shop with local crafts and Jamaica branded items. The views are SPECTACULAR. It is a lovely property with a rich history. Do Cinnamon hill tour as well.

{"0":"I thought it was a good getaway. It's mostly a stroll through the Great House while the tour guide talks about all the urban legends surrounding Annie, her lovers and the suspicions behind their demise. I took the tour during the day. I think it would've been better to get the tour at night for the extra spook factor. It does offer lovely views of the surrounding areas of Rose Hall. All in all, a good visit .. and I'll be sure to book the night tour the next time I go back","2":["0","236"]}

This was a really amazing and historic experience. I have always waited for the time when I could finally visit Rose Hall and experience it for myself. It was everything that I had expected-and I got to live and enjoy every moment of this event. I had the best tour guide who was patient and kept us informed-and who was young and energetic enough to keep you on your toes throughout the tour. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic there was a lot of effort, hospitality, and professionalism given on the part of the staff.

Cool experience and learn quite a lot about the legend of Annie Palmer. I can't wait to come back for a night tour. The scarier the better

This home is more than just a haunted story. The tour guide goes over the history of the home and about Jamaica. Super fun place and beautiful views all over.

We had a fun tour of the facility and enjoyed the rich history of this great house. The property is well kept and lawns properly manicured.

My mom and I had a fantastic time. We had a very interactive tour guide who made the tour a lot of fun. We went on the night tour. Definitely not recommended for small children. I think the only complaint I have is the amount of people in our tour. Was crowded. Other wise a very good time.

We appreciated the history of the Jamaican sugar production and to reflect on the harsh treatment of enslaved people. The whole story about the white witch, her husbands, lovers, and ultimate demise, was very interesting and left me wanting to know more. The tour guide was professional and funny. I do think it’s an important stop when you’re on the island drinking rum runners and eating jerk chicken. The views are also *beautiful* and you will be sure to get some good snaps.

This is an awesome place filled with rich history people should know. Our tour guide did a great job explaining some of the myths about this place. Once you finish the tour, you will learn so much about Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall.

Rather interesting tour. Brought a familiar story to life. Lawn and gardens are beautiful. Sense of history palpable.

Fascinating history and stories of the past, especially about Annie Palmer, great tour guides, and an overall wonderful experience.

Awesome!

Visited rose hall with my mom and sister , in 2017 . The house is beautiful, with deep dark history , when we got to the house it was storming but looked as if it was just storming over the house itself, on the tour I was in her room I believe , I snapped a picture of the mirror , at first I didn’t see anything but I look at the bench in the reflection and noticed what looked like gown on in-font of the bench after examining the picture I saw a woman in the mirror with her mouth open looking as if she was yelling at me as she’s walking towards me , also my mom started to get unbearably woozy 20 minutes into the tour. By far the best experience of my life will never forget it . I’d like to visit again very soon . We’re very open minded people and believe in such things keep that in mind.

A wonderful, historic experience. Able to take the time to savor it all in and take many pictures. A lovely time and a must see in Jamaica. Lovely people!

Thoroughly enjoyed thre tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and really nice. Tote is well set up. History was accurate!

Nice gated community. Secure and safe. The staff are really helpful. Enjoyed the apartment and beautiful view + pool

We loved it. It was worth our time. From our guide to everyone else great experience

cool little adventure of a old folk lore .

The history of the house is fascinating. Well worth a visit and you can have a photo taken in front of the house. It's a fabulous building, we had visited before 24 yrs ago. Taken as a cruise ship excursion Marella Discovery 2.

Went for the candlelit ghost your. Was great to learn the history however heartbreaking and tragic it is. Our tour guide was great, and the actors added some fun (feel it could be better/spoiler if 'ghosts' weren't so in your face but off in another area glimpsed briefly). House definitely has spooky vibes on its own, but that can be expected considering what all happened here. A great excursion if visiting Montego Bay!

The view is amazing, they tours is really interesting they show you the house and tell you the story. They place is amazing.

We really enjoyed learning about Annie Palmer and Rose Hall. The tour was amazing and our guide (I forgot her name) was very knowledgeable. My husband cannot wait to return for the night tour, I’m good on that one lol.

Very informative. Learn more now than whe. I was 8 years

This historical home has all kinds of interesting stories attached to it. The stories and history alone are enough to make it worth your while, but add on top of it the friendly and knowledgeable people staffing it. Our tour guide, Sancha, was knowledgeable, patient and kind. My 2 boys had many questions and she made sure to answer all of them, regardless of how silly they were. My wife and I love history and had quite a few questions of our own. So this tour really made our day and we enjoyed hearing all the stories and conversing with Sancha.

Locals...do not book online!! There is a local rate that is way cheaper but this is not shown on the website or social media. Best advice I can give you call first. Learn from my mistake. Aside from that, the premises and tour was amazing! I learnt alot. Our tour guide was amazing. She saw that we were bummed about the overcharging incident, which, by the way, even after finding out that we were locals, said they couldnt do anything for us. And she made us totally forget about it.

Rosehall Great House is SO unique because it has so many different options for wedding and picturesque gatherings/ functions. Additionally, the e ent staff is TOP NOTCH! Contact Jodi-Ann Allen-Gordon, Wedding Destination Specialist par excellence!

An AMAZING experience; really enjoyed learning about the history of the Great House and it's past and current owners. Without a doubt should be on your bucket list!

A nice piece of Jamaican history! You not only learn about "The White Witch of Rose Hall" but will also learn about some 18th to early 19th century customs and architecture. The staff is very friendly and after the tour you can enjoy a refreshing beverage from the pub

The estate is beautifully manicured and maintained. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the estate and the history of the inhabitants. It was a beautiful house, but the history of slavery, brutality, infidelity, and murder was sobering.

We loved this tour & story. They did an excellent job. Loved the house & don't forget to enjoy some witches brew!

It was an awesome experience My partner & I did the night tour the last tour of the night 8pm & let me tell you it was great from start to finish. Big up our tour guide Ricky job well done! Thank you for a great experience.

I highly recommend visiting this landmark when in MoBay. The tour not only provides a history of the site, but also of the (horrific) slave trade. The tour is more enjoyable when you are visiting on days with no individuals from cruise ships visiting and/or not part of a big group. I am sure you can call ahead to know. I booked through the website and it was easy and quick. No need to pay for a tour company to visit the great hall because the site has its own tour guide. I visited by myself on a Saturday around 2:00 PM and was very lucky to have a tour guide, Heather, just for me. She knew the history of the Great House on the back of her hand and answered all of my questions, including general questions about the island. The site has a bar where you can get refreshments and a souvenir shop.

Personal tour so much information given very interesting. Annie Palmer was not a lady to be messed with. We did a day tour and that was creepy enough, the night must be amazing.

A must when visiting Montego Bay. Such a fantastic experience. We visited on the off chance and was so surprised how brilliant it was! A must if you are visiting Montego Bay. Full of history, beautiful grounds and views, reasonably priced gift shop and a bar - order The Witches Brew (you get a souvenir glass too which is cute)!!! We had Sancha as a tour guide and she was brilliant. She definitely bought the story to life and taught us so much! She answered all of our questions and was able to give so much rich history regarding the area. Sancha was patient and great too with our children and helping them to understand it all. Ultimately the tour its based on Annie the White Witch but you get to learn and understand at greater depths about the slave trade times in Montego Bay and the horrific events which went on in and around the house. History that needs to be taught. We was there for 2/3 hours which works well for a morning or afternoon short visit.

{"0":"We went here as part of a cruise excursion. It's a great tour and awesome history. We really enjoyed it!","2":["0","104"]}

Very interesting and historical story, albeit a tragic one. One has to wonder how such evil can exist. The Great House is huge and an architectural beauty. Our guide, Shauna, was terrific and knew her stuff.

Was only allowed to take 1 photo on the night tour. I have a great time. Lots of history and fun behind all the doors. Plenty of parking and very reasonable fees. Great gift shop and small tavern also.

{"0":"We reached here a little before sunset so could really appreciate the beautiful trees.\nThe drums they played suited the atmosphere well. The greenery surrounding the plantation and the view of the ocean was beautiful.\nWe took the night tour with a guide name Ricky. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions.\nThe night tour was very fun and spooky at the same time.","2":["0","165"]}

Went with the family... 45 minutes tour, learned a lot about the house and the history behind it. Annie Palmer was definitely something else, it was good, do wish it was longer but enjoyed it nonetheless. Lovely tour guide.

We had a very fun 1-2 hours. Spooky and fun, and sprinkled with Jamaican history all around you. If you do not like being startled, be wary lol. Everyone is super friendly and the Jamaican vibe is infectious. It is definitely worth a visit.

The characters/ghosts did an awesome job and stayed committed all through. I can't do it, I would laugh or smile. Nice experience, wasn't scary for me, I anticipated what would happen next but really scary for most of my group.

The tour was great ? Ricardo was very knowledgeable and entertaining! My husband and I went at night. I was concerned that we were going to be the only couple but when we arrived, there was a large group already there. Honestly, it was not too scary ( I am a big horror fan, and it takes a lot to scare me), but the history behind the mansion was still good. We recommend visiting!

Creepy and fun. Do not recommend for children that don't like to be startled. Has lots of stairs as expected with old large house.

Great

Really cool experience with a great story.

Super cool story, and interesting to be there

Absolutely love the tour

Sofia was a lot of fun narrating the tour, the drums were both beautiful and gave great ambiance.

It's my fifth visit to Rose Hall Great House. The history is fantastic and the tours are very educational. I took my class and they learnt a lot.

Make sure you book the night tour. It's an entertaining depiction of a truly tragic and cruel story. It's a fun way to spend the evening and learn how you handle scary experiences. Our guide, Cristina, was fantastic.

Had to book this once on the island. Ship did not offer this. Found a taxi driver(they are required to take you and wait for you and bring you back to the port.) after 3 drivers I found one that would do it for 200.00. Plus gave him a 30.00 tip. Our group touring the house was 4. 20.00 per person. All questions answered. Took as much time as needed. I think I got a ghost in one of the mirrors after viewing my pics. Views from the house were great. One thing that seemed out of place was the tables set up in the garden area to sell Jamaican souvenirs. They were not coming down on the prices.

Beautiful grounds and well kept great house. Loved the story, but mostly just loved the scenery. Went for a wedding and the house really made a beautiful backdrop.

Our tour guide Samantha was great! She was knowledgeable and made our visit memorable! Our car was late picking us up and she came to make sure we were ok and insisted on calling our hotel for us to make sure everything was ok. I'm so glad we visited, I would recommend a tour to anyone visiting Montego Bay!

One of Jamaica's remaining great house, and Rose Hall is probably the most infamous with the related ghost story of Annie Palmer. The tour is great and inexpensive, a wonderfully exciting experience for everyone of all ages.

Awesome historical place to visit. Stunning views. Sad but interesting stories.

I love it ..the tour guide ,Erica, was very good at answering my questions and remembering all if that info...it was informative fun and worth your money. The prices are reasonable and I am going back for the night tour

Great tour, really scary but loads of fun

It was cool. Did the night tour had me jump few times.

(Translated by Google) An interesting experience (Original) O experiența interesant

Yes, great tour guide

Great experience

Interesting house

Up

Great tour!! My husband and I visited while on our honeymoon. The guide was very knowledgeable, all staff was friendly. The Rose Hall house and property were beautiful. I do recommend this tour to anyone who loves history as much as I do!!

Tour guide Erica was awesome. Very knowledgeable about everything and answered every question I asked. Such a huge mansion.

I ain't fraid of no ghost. This place was great. I was sad to learn though that all the furniture inside was not the original stuff from the time the house was built, due to the slave revolt. I get it though, their master was kind of a jerk so I completely understand trashing the place.

It’s a nice house and the property is beautiful and well kept. The ocean can be seen from various parts of the property and the tour was very detailed. The house is a bit creepy but it’s Rose Hall after all. I would encourage anyone visiting Montego Bay to pay a visit.

Very interesting historic tour. I really enjoyed my experience, and I would even do the tour again.

I like this place, It's very original but creepy. Annie is very insane. If you are into creepy history I definitely recommend but try not to get caught by Annie

The staff are very welcoming and friendly. It's a fascinating place.

The tour was great and a good length in time (20 mins), all staff were very welcoming and kind. The tress in the garden located in the back of the house are massive and just breath taking! A must on your to do list.

Rich heritage of Jamaica the world's famous great house

Grate place

Loved the story, dont think i can manage a night tour

Went here when I was a kid on school trip I accidentally knocked over a railing my teacher was so mad with me about I guess she was scared when she here about this place and then a loud bang she was double 😨 any ways I would love to take a trip one day with my daughter great experience if you never gone be4 you should its beautiful to see I wish my child would go experience even without me.

I used to be a security officer there and it is amazing I love the place

There's lovely..

My friend Tonya and I visited this place on one of their night tours. Honestly, besides the "funny, trying to scare you ghost tour", they do give a lot of really cool information about this place. My friend and I also had our ghost hunting app on our phone the whole time, and it was going wild. The app kept saying weird things when we moved throughout the mansion. For example, when we started out in the kitchen, the app would say, "FEED THEM". Then we were in the basement, it said "BASEMENT". When we went outside, it said "LAWN". And the creepiest thing it said was, "GOD NO" when we were by the white witches grave outside. NOPE! This place is DEFINITELY haunted. SUPER sketched out about this place, and I would definitely go again!

Really fun night

It was a great experience especially in the nights where they act out scenes that happened there

I did the night tour with my siblings and we were talking about it for days .. This is a fun , engaging activity for a group of family, friends and love ones ... This is a must do , I highly recommend it..

The tour was great, but do not I repeat do not get drinks there. I paid 31 dollars for the smallest weakest margarita. My and my friends were all upset. I'm talking 31 dollars a piece. Wasnot worth it at all. Well getting a drink there

Was my honey moon in 1984

✌😉⚡🌬🍁🌻

Really great history to it & well kept

(Translated by Google) Very interesting story (Original) Sehr interessante Geschichte

Great place to visit

Loved it always wanted to go there. Great to hear about all the history, beautiful place and grounds

Fun

Totally Awesome

Not much in the garden department, we anticipated more, however we enjoyed the walk around the grounds. Attended the night ghost tour. A lot of fun.

(Translated by Google) Nice, that ghost story. (Original) Wel leuk, dat spookverhaal.

It's a bit scary but after the blood rushing experience u can sit at the bar n chill with the guys until ur transportation arrives but it a good experience for not only visitors but us jamaican...!!!

Wow!!! Rosehall Great House. A place of very rich jamaican history. The story of Annie Palmer the white witch of Rosehall. A story that is told to natives and foreigners alike. A MUST visit by anyone who visits Jamaica.

We did the haunted night tour. You can't take any pictures and basically was a couple people jumping out but good history and fun time.

Although I grew up in Jamaica this was my first time at Rose Hall Great House. Very nice guide who took me and my family around. The location is very clean with a nice gift shop with reasonably priced items. I would recommend taking the tour. Very informative and a place for a good photo opportunity.

Amazing historical experience, wife and I had a great time.

Wonderful, private tour. Guide was informative and the place was gorgeous. Such good history to learn!

A long standing attraction of a "haunted house" that was inhabited by a witch. The interesting feature is that visitors continue to report "sightings".

A nice peice of local history for the curious amongst us.

It was picturesque, however, it was very dark and therefore hard to navigate after hours. The food was just okay. It wasn't bad, but just okay. Also, there were mosquitoes... bug spray would do you well. All in all, it was good, I went to a wedding there, but I do believe for what was offered, it was overpriced.

The tour gives you the opportunity to see what it was like living in that time... good story... beautiful grounds.. but beyond that, there isn't anything else to do. With a great story like that... the possibilities are endless for a much more wholesome experience

Interesting and beautiful place, amazing history and knowledgeable guides

Excellent tour! Tour guide Sancha is phenomenal! She is extremely knowledgeable and engaging. This made the experience very interesting and it’s obvious she has a genuine passion for hospitality and immense enjoys her job. I felt I got an authentic plantation tour which was awesome!

This was an interesting home to visit. The guides had wonderful stories and even sang a song at the end where the coffin was. Very small table set up of individual made crafts.

Great experience! We had the best tour guide Erica, she was knowledgeable and patient.All of our questions was answered.

Beautiful property! The guided tour with the story of Annie Palmer was fantastic. For all of my fellow murder mystery lovers , this one is a must!

This is a Jamaican plantation home tour. Tickets were not expensive for this 45 minute tour. The tour guide (Tia N.) provided great history about this plantation, the owner, the slaves, etc. the grounds are nicely kept. There is a small gift shop on the property. After the tour guide finishes, you are able to explore on your own.

Was a great experience for me and my family, house has a very interesting history with the most picturesque landscape. I encourage every Jamaican to visit, we’ve all heard the stories, go check out this place, the Tour Guides are great.

We had a guide to ourselves and loved walking thru the house and the grounds…the stories around “Annie” were mostly just that - stories. I would have rather heard just the actual history, but it was beautiful day… And, there was an awesome gentleman selling jewelry and other souvenirs outside by “Annie’s tomb”.

Did the evening interactive night tour, man oh man was that fun!! Interactive so not a ghost tour but there was a few times things seemed to happen aside from the theatrics. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting some good jump scares and to learn about the history. From what I was told the night tour is VERY different from the daytime tour so choose carefully based on the experience you would like!

The White Witch of Rose Hall is a legendary character associated with the Rose Hall Great House in Jamaica. The story revolves around a woman named Annie Palmer, who lived in the early 19th century. She was said to be a beautiful but cruel woman who is believed to have practiced voodoo and dark magic. According to local legends, Annie Palmer used her powers to manipulate and control men, leading to the mysterious deaths of her three husbands. It is said that she murdered her first husband by poisoning him and killed her subsequent husbands for various reasons. She was also reputedly involved in slave cruelty, using voodoo to control and torment her slaves. As the legend goes, Annie Palmer met her demise when one of her slaves, known as "Takoo," cursed her. He reportedly administered a potion that caused her to die a slow, painful death. Some versions of the story even claim that the slaves revolted against Annie Palmer and killed her. The legends surrounding the White Witch of Rose Hall have captured the imagination of locals and tourists alike, making Rose Hall a popular destination for those interested in the paranormal and Jamaican folklore. The Rose Hall Great House still stands today and is said to be haunted by the spirit of Annie Palmer. However, it's important to note that the legend of the White Witch of Rose Hall is primarily a folklore tale, and historical accounts of Annie Palmer's life and actions differ from the legends. Some researchers suggest that the rumors surrounding her were exaggerated or fabricated. Regardless of the accuracy of the tale, the White Witch of Rose Hall remains an intriguing part of Jamaican folklore and continues to attract visitors from around the world.

Booked a private tour of just our small group of 6 through our hotel, and went right after opening. No wait and so nice to get a good look at everything. The house itself is quite grand, and the yards outside were beautiful. I took many pictures of the art on the walls and furniture inside the house. Loved learning more about the legend of the White Witch. Our guide was excellent in filling us in on all the horrors of Annie Palmer. Also, learning how much of a connection Johnny Cash has to this place was an interesting surprise. We did a daytime tour, and it still was a little creepy, so a night tour would be very spooky, I'm sure. I share my picture of myself and Annie's mirror. I am not sure if I really see anything "extra" in the mirror, but once you hear the stories, and start to look more at it, it's amazing what the mind can make you think you see. I am very intrigued to learn a little more about the history of this place and the legends behind it.

We had so much fun. Erica was our guide and the history was wonderful. Tons of beautiful period correct architecture and furniture. All amazing experience!

Did both the day tour and the night tour. Day tour was beautiful. The night tour had the ladies screaming and the men jumping
