Very interesting and colourful - The tour was really interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable. We were happy to pay for it so that the artists and staff could also earn something. Teisha-Ann in the office was very helpful. I accidentally bought one ticket too many on the internet. The refund to Switzerland worked wonderfully. A very big thank you!

International Samaritan Jamaica and UT take on Art Walk - We did a combination of art walk and museum tour. It was a wonderful experience filled with culture, history and beauty. Our tour guide Melissa was very knowledgeable, and we found out at the end that one of her pieces was featured in the Museum! Our group was very excited by that fun fact! Another unplanned but welcomed highlight of the day was that our we got to see parts of the Arts Festival put on for Reggae month! We will definitely recommend this tour and will be coming back to experience the other tours that Kingston Creative has to offer!

Amazing Art - What an amazing tour. Loved the interactive video connected to the murals. The history learned was top notch. Our tour guide was amazing and informative. Also seeing the actual artist working on their pieces was beautiful. Location was walking distance from our hotel which was a plus to be among the locals. Plenty of food places and stores near by and it felt safe.
