Great tour with a knowledgeable guide, Shaf (I hope I am spelling his name correctly). The driver, Pablo, was great as well. They took me to the National Heroes Park, the Bob Marley Museum, the art murals, and other places. Overall great experience.
Don't miss this tour if your in Kingston. Very informative and interesting insight into Bob Marleys life and music
It was a great experience. The app did not give the proper meet up spot, and it started to rain big time on us while we tried to find our tour bus. We tried using the contact driver option in the app but that didn’t work either. Eventually after being 8 minutes late our tour guide contacted us on WhatsApp. We finally found the proper meet up spot and they greeted us with open arms and found us some paper towels to dry our glasses. After a very rough start ( thanks to weather and the app) we had a great tour of the city and of Nob Marley’s house. The young man that explained sights was very impressive. He is a college student studying marketing and economics. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable about Jamaica and global geography. I think he was smarter about American history and geography than most Americans. Our driver was great at maneuvering his bus down the city streets, he was friendly, helpful about Kingston night life, and even had putty on us at the end of the tour and dropped us off at our hotel instead of the meeting place. I highly recommend this tour company and our tour guide’s.
