Courtney the guide was great, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the history he discussed and open about his personal viewpoints on the heritage and legacy of Kingston and the contribution of Jamaica to the world. I knew a fair bit about country and history but so he was happy to also have a more in depth discussion which made the experience even better. This is a great tour for anyone seeking to see the main monuments of Kingston, as well as learn more about Jamaican culture and how history, and culture has changed and contributed to Jamaica and the people of today.

What an amazing experience. Highly recommended. The museum is great, Heroes Park is awesome and Trench Town...wow. The record store is just great for all collectors. Take your time here!

simply fantastic and educational insight not only to Jamaican mysic but also its founding history as a nation. couldn't think of a better experience!

We saw a lot of Kingston and got some good impressions of the city. We felt very well looked after and would book again.
