What to expect

Explore Jamaica’s capital city by private, air-conditioned vehicle, starting with hotel pickup. Your personal guide accompanies you to the Devon House, a mansion built by Jamaica’s first black millionaire in 1881. Tour the interiors of this grand house and get a taste of homemade ice cream. See other major Kingston attractions including National Heroes Park and the University of the West Indies, all nestled below the Blue Mountains and stretching to Kingston Harbour, the world's seventh-deepest natural harbor. You'll learn about the local culture, history, and heritage with a look at historical monuments like the Simon Bolivar statue downtown, and observe Jamaicans going about their daily activities in the streets and markets. A stop is made for lunch at the marketplace, where you can choose from a wide variety of international and local cuisine. Or dine at Usain Bolt's Tracks and Records — a restaurant, sports bar, and mini-museum featuring the world's fastest man (food and drinks are your own expense). After lunch, visit the Bob Marley Museum, located in the late musician’s former home. Take a guided tour of the house where he lived and see how he became a reggae legend. Fun fact: the museum was President Barack Obama's first stop when he visited Jamaica in 2015. Your personalized full-day tour finishes with a comfortable drive back to your Kingston hotel.
