A must visit when in Kingston - Excellent tour. You get a close up look at where Marley wrote and recorded his music. Very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide who engaged the audience. Love the documentary at the end.

5 stars for Marie! - Unfortunately due to Hurricane Beryl, my friend and I were not able to make our trip to Jamaica, which included this tour. While we didn’t have the tour, Marie was extremely friendly, communicative, and flexible during and after the booking. We agreed on a fair refund decision as she had already put in some time to planning the tour. She was full of helpful suggestions outside of the tour, just to make our experience better. Would recommend and if we ever make it back to Jamaica, will sign up for this tour :)

Enjoyable Tour - We booked this on Trip Advisor as we had heard stories about crime in Kingston so thought it would make sense to book a tour to move around Kingston. This was a great idea as we would never have ventured to see the Murals in the Art District and Devon house would never have been on our radar. The tour was hugely enjoyable: everything was arranged for us at the Bob Marley house. We most likely wouldn’t have known to explore to all of the buildings outside of the house if it wasn’t for Marie taking us there. Marie knew a lot of the staff working in various locations so we felt like we were locals. In advance of the tour, Marie was extremely responsive which also gave us confidence. Kingston was amazing, our problem was that we weren’t there for long enough, we will definitely be back!

A definite tour to take in Kingston. - Probably the best city tour I’ve been on. Not what I expected, but actually better. If you are visiting Kingston Jamaica or Jamaica in general, I highly suggest this tour. The tour guide provides unique insight into the different parts of the Kingston stops. She also provides suggestions and contacts for after your tour to further enjoy Jamaica. You will leave knowing a lot more about Kingston and Jamaica beyond the typical tourist stops or traps. You will appreciate the island more.

Creative with One Stop in Kingston - I want to extend my gratitude to One Stop Cultural Tours for the fantastic introduction to Kingston Creative. It's a vibrant hub for arts and culture in Jamaica, dedicated to fostering creative talent and community engagement. The Sip and Paint session was a fantastic hour of unleashing creative juices. It was enjoyable to watch artists showcase their work and connect with audiences in the dynamic creative landscape.

Kingston, Jamaica 2024 - Wow!!!! I will start there with how amazed I was with Kingston!!! Generous hospitality and exciting sites to see! On our second day, my friends and family met Marie and she welcomed us with open arms at the last minute to take us on a tour for a full day. She surprised us as well by adding a walk through the Art District and the National Museum of Jamaica. Even more special, she took us to the Bob Marley Museum and Devon House. She is so friendly and personable! She sat with us for lunch and made us all feel like she was part of the family vacation. Marie also connected us with a tour guide for a Blue Mountain tour the next day as well!!! I must say not only did I enjoy my hotel at the Rok and the sights, but Marie made the experience in Kingston 10 times more amazing!! My friends and family greatly appreciated her ❤️
