This tour was exactly as described The driver spoke to us , giving us history and description as we drove from the Moon Palace to Kingston. He also gave us some jokes and we would not hesitate to recommend the same driver again. When we arrived in Kingston a guide “Courtney” joined us , who was equally funny and knowledgeable as the driver. We visited some amazing artwork on Kingston , followed by a visit to Devon House for scrumptious Jamaican patties followed by amazing ice cream. Next we headed to the Bob Marley museum (where he lived ) this was a superb part of the day where we met friends of Bob Marley and a load of history and memorabilia. The guide there was also excellent . We finished the tour with a visit to Trench town. Also interesting , then return to the Moon Palace . This was a good value tour and highly recommend this to others .Lovely day Thank you to our very nice driver Wayne We learnt a lot I recommand this tour Trench town museum and Kingston
