Itinerary
St. Jago De La Vega Cathedral
Admission included30 min
The Cathedral of St. Jago de la Vega is a church that is immersed in the rich history of Spanish Town as well as the establishment of the Church of England in Jamaica. Pursuant to being appointed as a Cathedral on November 28, 1843, the church undertook the task of serving in two distinct capacities. It provided a haven for spiritual growth for the parishioners of St. Catherine as well as to facilitate governmental rites and procedures for the island up until 1872 when Spanish Town ceased being the Capital of Jamaica.
Kingston
Pass by
A driver through the busy thoroughfare of downtown Kingston Jamaica, this is an experience of a lifetime into the heart of the culture and lifestyle in Kingston Jamaica.
Emancipation Park

The six-acre park includes fountains and public art. The park is known for the large sculpture Redemption Song at the park's main entrance. Redemption Song, which takes its name from Bob Marley's song of the same name, is an 11 ft. (approximately 3m) high bronze sculpture by Jamaican artist Laura Facey. The sculpture features a male and female figure gazing to the skies – symbolic of their triumphant rise from the horrors of slavery. The statue was unveiled in July 2003, in time for the park's first anniversary.

Beautiful day
I recommend this excursion! We had a great day with Delton who has incredible energy, he will make you discover all of Kingston as well as the Marley bob museum. It’s exactly what we’re looking for to discover real Jamaica!! Thanks for everything Delton did.

Excellent tour of Kingston
Loved our full-day private tour with Delton! He showed us around uptown, Half Way Tree, downtown markets and highlights. We had plenty of time to explore on foot, and he shared his deep knowledge of Jamaica's history, culture, food, politics and more. We had time to add in the National Gallery too. We felt safe both in his minibus and when walking around, and stayed enthused by his positive energy and explanations. Highly recommended!

Best Kingston tour!
Dr Fun's tour of Kingston was exceptional. His personalized tour cover areas rarely seen. We enjoyed Bob Marley Museum and the Cathedral tour. The best part was stopping for Devon's ice cream shop for homemade ice cream (yummy)
I highly recommend the tour and look forward to another Dr. Fun adventure!
Operator response
Exceptional and personal it was, millions of visitors travel to Jamaica every year but never get the opportunity to see the real Jamaica and most of its history.
It was our pleasure to have you for the Kingston Tour, we were happy to share with you some of the rich history, site and not forget the yummy ice cream at Devon house.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your review, until next time the adventure continues.

Dr Fun best tour guide
Delton is brilliant. We only book our trips and transport with Delton because he is punctual, reliable, kind, friendly and always going the extra mile to help with our trips and itinerary. Nothing is too big for him to do. He adds extras to the trips such as going to a local fruits market, Trent Town, buying us traditional cakes to try. He is very knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back to explore some more places beautiful Jamaica has got to offer. Thank you Dr Fun 🤩

Truly brilliant service!
We can never be bothered to write reviews when we travel, unless it's an absolute fantastic experience or a truly terrible one. This company (Dr. Fun Tours) is absolutely brilliant!! The kindest people (Dr. Fun himself and also Mr. Fun (was in training and joined our trip for practice, great guy!)) The communication worked perfectly, everything went very smoothly and on time and Dr. Fun knows everything worth knowing about local communities, history, current affairs, sights and everything in between and was happy to answer any and all of the questions we had. We got to see so much more than just the main attractions and the tour guides taught us so many interesting facts about life in Jamaica and the culture. We didn't drive the fastest way along the toll road, but rather up in the mountains and through small villages where we got to see how the locals live and go about their life. Of course we also went to the Bob Marley museum, Emancipation Park and all the other "main sights", but to be honest they were boring in comparison to the interesting guiding we got from Dr. Fun.
These are super kind and hospital people who go out of their way to make your trip special. Unfortunately this was the only tour we had booked with Dr. Fun and made some other tours with other, bigger companies and were truly disappointed when we realised how much better Dr. Fun would have made the tours. If we were to do it all again, we would book every single tour with him.
We also hired him for taxi and transfer services, and even when the job was just driving us from place A to B, he constantly told us where we were, the history of the places we passed and told us trivia about Jamaican culture and history.
We are truly happy with the experiences and services provided by Dr. Fun Tours, and recommend them warmly to everyone visiting Jamaica!

Great tour!
My wife and I had a wonderful time with Dr. fun Tours. Our driver, Albert was incredible. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We loved seeing the old Spanish Town and Bob Marley's house, but also more of the sights in Kingston - including Ice Cream at Devon House and Emancipation Park. The trip was a highlight of our trip to Jamaica.
