Amazing day in Kingston, Jamaica for a music and culture tour. For a life-long ska and reggae fan, it was almost a religious experience! Trip included the following: - Walking tour of Downtown Art District - Orange Street (birthplace of ska) and Rockers International Record shop - Trench Town Culture Yard tour - Tuff Gong Studios tour (and recording session!) We had the best day, courtesy of Karen at Jamaica Cultural Tours, driver Steve, guides Courtney and Spikes and studio engineer Oneil. Cannot thank you all enough! 😊

Booked the tour and it was so easy. Glad I found Miss Karen’s tour and it was amazing getting there. She’s one of the top notch and very caring tour guide. All the people at the farm were all hospitable as well. Had so much fun and knowing some little history about Jamaica

Such a wonderful trip by our wonderful guide, Karen. Karen drove us through Kingston, giving us a few history of the country and city, as we moved from the city to the mountains. As part of the Jamaican diaspora abroad, it was nice to see Jamaica again with new eyes and fresh memories. Craighton Estate was beautiful - staff were lovely and the coffee talk and tasting were detailed and thorough. The coffee was delicious and it felt particularly special to drink it surrounded by THE Blue Mountains! The views from the Mountains were incredible. So so amazing! Karen was a fantastic guide; super knowledgeable and engaging and it was overall such a great day!

Super tour. Great experience. Top class team. 100% recommend this to anyone with even a cursory interest in coffee. Excellent views, really interesting information on the process.

Our trip was well organised and Karen was an amazing informative guide. If you have the opportunity make time for this excursion, the views from the Blue Mountains are spectacular whilst the tour around the coffee farm offers a great insight into the history and process behind making the famous Blue Mountain coffee.

Learning about the history and culture of Jamaica through the many street artists was an awesome experience. Our guide Karen was perfect. She was very knowledgeable and she seemed to really enjoy her work and took pride in sharing her culture. We would recommend her specifically for any city tour you take.

I had Karen I my tour guide and she gave a fantastic tour through downtown Kingston taking us through the murals, parks and the art gallery to finish. Very knowledgeable and kind too, I would highly recommend!

After 4 years of communicating with Karen, I was great to finally meet her in person. We had to cancel our 2020 visit because of the pandemic. The tour was everything we expected it to be. Karen was extremely knowledgeable and considerate. Her local perspectives were valuable. I was most impressed/surprised with the murals along the Art Walk. Beautiful people, beautiful country. Will visit again.

The tour was amazing. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and knew and sang the music. I highly recommend this tour

Me and my wife had a wonderful time visiting the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, thanks to our driver and guide, Hewitt and Courtney! Their warm personality, energy, and knowledge truly made a positive impact to our experience! We highly recommend anyone that wish to visit the Blue Mountains to use the service of Jamaica Cultural Tours.

I cannot recommend this tour enough - it was amazing. Karen was really friendly and knowledgeable and I learnt so much, not just about reggae but all the musical forms of Jamaica. It was also a fantastic introduction to Kingston.

I have had Karen as a guide on my previous two visits to Kingston, Karen is has great interest and knowledge of Jamaica. I arranged a bespoke day with Karen and Hewitt. We went to Spanish Town, Port Royal, Fort Charles, the murals in downtown Kingston with lunch as Glorias. It was an excellent and varied day where I learned many new things about Jamaica

The tour was extensive thorough and led by a wonderful knowledgeable entertaining guide (Courtney) Highly recommended

If you want an authentic experience of Kingston this is a great way to see history and embrace the culture in a very personalized way. Many thanks to our driver Hewitt and tourguide Courtney- wonderful communication and this pair was tons of fun and positive energy - we were picked up from our apartment and they had us laughing and singing the entire tour. Our first stop was the Bob Marley museum which was excellent and detailed, well curated and we learned so much. Second stop was historic Devon House where we got to walk around and also had the BEST ice cream I’ve ever had (they were not lying lol it’s really that good!) Hewitt also recommended we try the Goat Curry patty at the bakery- another winner! Next stop was Trench town cultural center, truly eye opening, we left with a deeper understanding of the rich history and influence of a place we hear so much about in music and poetry, it was like putting a face to a name. We also saw some beautiful street art and Courtney took great photos for us. Last stop was the record store on Orange Street- another place where it was so cool to step into a space where so much happened, it was great energy, seeing all the records and just embracing where we were. We want to Truly thank Courtney and Hewitt for a wonderful experience!

This day trip was one of the highlights of our time in Jamaica. Hewitt and Courtney are excellent drivers and tour guides. They are informative and friendly and open to all questions. We gained a better understanding of Jamaican culture and history through this tour. The guides went at our pace and ensured that we made the most of our time at all four locations: Bob Marley Museum (an absolute treasure), Devon House for the best ice cream ever, Trench Town culture yard, and Orange Street downtown. Thank you for an unforgettable day!!
