Reviewed on 2025-04-13: Wonderful tour of Kingston and Bob Marley Museum - We recently spent time in Kingston and wanted to do some exploring around the city. I found this tour and unfortunately TripAdvisor does not allow same day booking. So I decided to reach out to the company directly to see if I could join the afternoon tour. There was still space on the tour and they allowed me to pay at the office before boarding. The staff were very friendly and professional. They offered us bottled water before the start of the tour (most tour companies, even ones in the US, never offer you anything to drink). Shaf (our tour guide) and Marc (our tour bus driver) were wonderful! They stopped in different spots for us to get pictures and they were very knowledgeable on the history of Jamaica. Shaf even spent time speaking into another guest’s phone to translate everything he was saying in English into Portuguese. There were no safety concerns during the trip. The bus drove around and everything was smooth. I would highly recommend this bus tour to anyone visiting and looking to learn about the city. As a Jamaican, I was able to learn things about my country that I didn’t know before. The tour company was great, the stops were engaging (especially the Bob Marley museum), and they dropped us back to our hotel at the end of the day. Experience was 10/10.
