My wife and I went on the Peat Taylor tour May 13, 2003 (Explorer of the Seas) and thoroughly enjoyed his humor. He can be reached at
oneiltay@cwjamaica.com
He also has a website at

As advertised we were part of the first group to go up Dunn's River Falls. He also gives some good advice about dealing with the venders there which we keep you from buying something you don't want. A word of caution, however, the venders will do all they can to make you feel guilty.
Peat goes whereever the group wants to go. His website lists some of the attractions, so it would be a good idea to get familiar with them beforehand. If you've never been off the beaten path in a third world country you'll have an eye opening experience as you see how much of the world lives. On our tour some wanted to eat at Jerk Center (it was great) while others went back to the ship to eat. Peat then picked the group up and Jerk Center, dropped us off downtown for some shopping, and then went back to the ship to pick up the rest of the group so they could do some shopping. It's a great deal for $30 (remember that Dunn's Fall costs $10 which is included). A word of advice. If you go shopping downtown I would suggest that you go to the stores before going to the flea market. That will give you a good idea of what to pay for souvenirs.
Once last thing. We left our camera on the bus and did not discover it until our ship left port. I contacted Peat by email and he is going to send it back. He even said that he would send it back at no cost to me, but I plan to pay him for his added effort. Peat's a great guy, he's humorous, and very personable. And on his tours there's "No problem mon!"
