After pick up, your music tour of Jamaica, led by a professional and friendly guide, starts with a visit to the Bob Marley museum where you’ll learn about Jamaica’s musical giant.

Following this visit it’s off to Devon House for a delicious lunch of patties and ice cream. Next it’s off to National Heroes Park to get the context – who are Jamaicans, what is our history, and how has this influenced the music. (At National Heroes Park there are friendly street dogs that we feed when possible. If you love dogs, great. If you don’t, you are not forced to interact with them. If you’re a dog lover, feel free to bring dog food for them to eat – Adult ProPet and Purina Dog Chow are available in most local supermarkets.)

Our next stop is the Trench Town Culture Yard where so many musical greats have come from. Finally, we go to a downtown record shop to spin vinyl, hear the various genres of Jamaican music from classic mento to modern Dancehall.

At the end of the tour we drop you back off at your accommodations. You will leave with a deeper understanding of Jamaican music, musicians, and their influences.
