Explore the history of Kingston on the City Bus Tour

One of the greatest ways to get to know any city is a little overview.

What if you got an overview of Jamaica's capital city at half the regular price?

Jamaica Experiences is pleased to introduce you to the Kingston City Bus Tour. Explore Jamaica's busy metropolitan in a day or two.

This chartered bus tour is run by the country’s public bus service and actually offers more than one tour to help you get to know this world-famous island destination.

The JUTC Kingston City Tour takes you to places of interest in Kingston that contribute to Jamaica's rich history.

Their guides provide historical information on the sites being visited and on important attractions along each route.

Kingston City Bus Tour starts here!

The tour buses depart from the Half-Way Tree Transport Centre.

If there is a group of 10 persons or more, special arrangements can be made to pick up the group at a location within Kingston.

Please note that the tours may not happen if there are less than 10 people booked in general.

A one-time payment gets you an all-access pass

The Spirit of Reggae includes all fees to enter the sites you’ll be visiting and is a pretty reasonable price.

The other tours will cost you less than US$20, and even less for kids.

Although there is a specific price for children, there are no concessions for any age so you’ll be paying the same for a 3-year-old as for a child of 12.

All reservations need to be made at least 3 days in advance.

Customized tours are also available and you can make reservations with JUTC.

The website does not mention prices, most likely due to the fluctuating relationship between the Jamaican dollar and other world currencies.

All information will be provided when you call. All prices listed here were those given at the time.
