We had an absolutely fantastic walking tour of downtown Kingston with Everton — one of the highlights of our trip. It was incredibly enlightening to see both sides of Kingston, not just the surface-level sights but the real history, culture, and day-to-day life that you wouldn’t experience on your own. Everton was brilliant — friendly, approachable, and clearly very knowledgeable. He brought everything to life with stories, insights, and local perspective that made the whole experience feel authentic rather than “touristy.” You could tell he genuinely cares about what he does. Devon was also great — really helpful throughout and added to the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of the tour. We’re so glad we decided to do this — it gave us a completely different understanding of Kingston and made us appreciate the city even more. If you’re visiting, don’t hesitate — book it if you get the chance. You won’t regret it.
I am asking for a refund. No one messaged me regarding the pickup time and we waited at AC Hotel for one hour 9-10am. I messaged Campus Tours several times but no one even bothered to answer my messages.i am so disappointed with this CAMPUS TOURS. Alberto Rodriguez
Good day Alberto, first I must apologize for the inconvenience we cause. Our platforms were down for a few days resulting in a delay for communication and bookings. A full refund was processed and you should see that being reflected on your end shortly. All booking details will be transferred offline so we don't have a repeat of this situation. Thank you.
This was a great experience to see Kingston through the eyes of a tourist. Everton was a great guide and maintained a conversational style throughout the tour. We learned so much! The craft market and the art district were my favorite experiences. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning beyond the stereotypical presentation of Kingston history. Great job!
I loved my walking tour with Everton—so much that I did it twice! Exploring downtown Kingston with him was a real highlight, especially when he shared personal stories from his childhood. I was in photo heaven with the vibrant street murals, each one offering a glimpse into how local artists interpret Jamaican culture. Walking through the street market, passing the bustling bus stop, and stopping for fresh coconut water was the icing on the cake. Everton has officially become my go-to guide whenever I return to Jamaica ( he doesn’t know this yet, lol). I highly recommend this tour!
Everett is a great tour guide. He is knowledgeable about Jamaica and personable. We drove and walked around Kingston. Highly recommend
What a fantastic tour! I'd have been a bit nervous doing it solo, but with Everton, it was incredibly interesting and safe. He shared the city's rich history and showed me some truly local spots. Plus, he even helped me sort out a Blue Mountains hike, which wasn't an easy task to organize. I really appreciated his punctuality and customer-focused approach. Thank you so much, Everton!
They didn't cancel until 5min before the pickup time I happened to contact them to confirm if they were coming The man I talked to said someone was supposed to contact me earlier that day to cancel, which I also find disengaging since this could have been done before and my day better used...
Everton was an excellent guide, very informative. We felt very safe, we got to explore areas that we would not have visited alone. Fantastic walk through the art trail & downtown area, and a drive through Trench town. Would highly recommend.
We had booked very spontaneously and Everton showed me and my wife around Kingston anyway. His extensive knowledge taught us a lot. In Kingston Downtown, he guided us through this part of the city very confidently and very authentically and was able to tell us a lot about the topics: Art, culture, society, history and lifestyle. All in all, a great and unforgettable experience.
Excellent tour! We did the art district, downtown shopping area, Trenchtown, and drove thru Tivoli Hardens. Everton is knowledgeable on the islands history and culture. He's friendly and his car is immaculately clean.
