Best way to experience Kingston - This was an excellent tour, we learnt so much about Jamaica and about its music. Our tour guide Karen gave us lots of interesting info and really took care of us. We added the option to see the murals which were wonderful

A fun and interesting day in Kingston - We had a really enjoyable, informative day with Karen. Our stops included the Bob Marley Museum, Devon House for patties and ice cream, the National Heroes Park, Rockers International record store, Orange Street and Trench Town Culture Yard. Karen was eloquent and very professional but also fun - our favourite was our time in the record shop with Karen reminiscing about reggae covers from her teens. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Ska/Reggae heritage tour in Kingston - unforgettable! - Amazing day in Kingston, Jamaica for a music and culture tour. For a life-long ska and reggae fan, it was almost a religious experience! Trip included the following: - Walking tour of Downtown Art District - Orange Street (birthplace of ska) and Rockers International Record shop - Trench Town Culture Yard tour - Tuff Gong Studios tour (and recording session!) We had the best day, courtesy of Karen at Jamaica Cultural Tours, driver Steve, guides Courtney and Spikes and studio engineer Oneil. Cannot thank you all enough! 😊

Fantastic tour, even better guides - We had Hewitt taking us around for this experience and also the Blue Mountains the day before, he was an amazing guide, very passionate and proud of Jamaica, on the journeys between tours he would tell us all about life on the island. The tours themselves were fantastic, for the music tour we had a guided tour of the Bob Marley museum then Courtney showed us around Devon house, Trench Town and Orange Street - he was very knowledgeable and passionate, made a hilarious double act with Hewitt. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Authentic and personalized tour - If you want an authentic experience of Kingston this is a great way to see history and embrace the culture in a very personalized way. Many thanks to our driver Hewitt and tourguide Courtney- wonderful communication and this pair was tons of fun and positive energy - we were picked up from our apartment and they had us laughing and singing the entire tour. Our first stop was the Bob Marley museum which was excellent and detailed, well curated and we learned so much. Second stop was historic Devon House where we got to walk around and also had the BEST ice cream I’ve ever had (they were not lying lol it’s really that good!) Hewitt also recommended we try the Goat Curry patty at the bakery- another winner! Next stop was Trench town cultural center, truly eye opening, we left with a deeper understanding of the rich history and influence of a place we hear so much about in music and poetry, it was like putting a face to a name. We also saw some beautiful street art and Courtney took great photos for us. Last stop was the record store on Orange Street- another place where it was so cool to step into a space where so much happened, it was great energy, seeing all the records and just embracing where we were. We want to Truly thank Courtney and Hewitt for a wonderful experience!

Memorable Tour - This day trip was one of the highlights of our time in Jamaica. Hewitt and Courtney are excellent drivers and tour guides. They are informative and friendly and open to all questions. We gained a better understanding of Jamaican culture and history through this tour. The guides went at our pace and ensured that we made the most of our time at all four locations: Bob Marley Museum (an absolute treasure), Devon House for the best ice cream ever, Trench Town culture yard, and Orange Street downtown. Thank you for an unforgettable day!!

Easy sightseeing with a small group tour. We gained so much music knowledge! 100% recommend! - We were super happy with our tour. Our guide was brilliant he gave us lots of information and worked really hard. Having the opportunity to go to Trench Town, Bob Marley museum and a record shop all in one with no hassle made our sightseeing really easy. There was only 5 of us on the tour which was perfect. We would 100% recommend this tour!
