5.00This tour is a must if you are in Kingston. Very informative giving the history of Trench Town where Bob Marley grew up. Fantastic knowledgable guide/s who knew all about the area.
Perfect balance of education and fun!

5.00Kadine and her sister were amazing! Clear communication from the very beginning. Walking through Trenchtown, seeing historical sights, and getting to meet a few locals was great. The highlight for us was definitely JAMin’ studios. We learned the great work they do for the community and the fantastic father/son duo Bingi and McaLion. Definitely recommend if you’re in Kingston.

5.00This reggae tour experience was my best moment in Kingston among many. The immersion walking the streets in the heart of Trench Town was truly memorable, as was my very professional and knowledgeable guide, Kadine! The visit was complete, both in term of the narrative told by historic buildings and the museum, and also through the artistic encounters within the Jamin studio. Thanks to Kulcha Quest!
