Things to do in Kingston, Kingston Parish: The Best Bus Tours

October 25, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Far from the north coast resort towns, Kingston is Jamaica at its most authentic, a sprawling city of contrasts spread between the east coast and the Blue Mountains. Kingston's diversity is reflected in its disparate neighborhoods, from the wealthy northern suburbs to the less affluent downtown. Travelers can discover the spirit of One Love at the Bob Marley Museum, or sample delicious ice cream at Devon House. Nearby, the former capital of Spanish Town offers insight into the area's history.

We suspect that the merchant transferred our business to individual driver as our driver is just a driver, not completely sure what was included in the package. The driver is friendly and even took us to a place for Jamaica food that he also got his lunch. Although it cost $5 for a few pieces of cooked bananas, we were just happy to see more of Jamaica. The price we paid felt consider high now that we know how much the tickets and the toll roads are ....

My husband and I had a few hours to kill and we asked our hotel to refer us to a tour, they reccommended Fiwi tours and I must say I was not disappointed!!!! The owner of the company is Jackson, he comes with his personal driver and gives you a tour of Kingston with a great history lesson. We saw everything from Emancipation park, the national heros park and ended up at devon house to have some lovely home made ice cream. You can get different tours with Jackson, he is a smart laid back guy that loves what he does. One of my best afternoons spent in Kingston.
