I was in Kingston last month, on holiday, and did three tours with Jamaica Cultural Enterprises. First of all, I have to say that the tour guide, Karen, is both highly professional and a walking encyclopedia of Jamaican History. (She is also a lovely lady.)

Jamaica Cultural Tours Where do I start? Karen’s tours were INCREDIBLE. We found the tours to be engaging as Karen shared her thorough knowledge about the history and culture of Jamaica. My wife and I have visited various parts of the island and were relatively knowledgeable about much of the islands proud history, culture and numerous sights. However, Karen awakened... More

We made several requests and Karen tried her very best to make sure that most of our requests were made. She always sent us updated versions of our itineraries to make sure that our... More

Thank you for a truly memorable day. My father and I really enjoyed the retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery and Bank of Jamaica, as well as Gallery Barrington, where we ate lunch and met the charming and gracious Mrs Watson. The bus was well-appointed and comfortable, and Karen was an interesting and informative guide. The visit to Orange Park... More

It's an all day event, snacks are provided. The serving... More

We also went on the Art Trek, which included a visit to Studio 174, a gallery that provides studio space for young artists. A great place run by Rozi Chung and somewhere... More
