Highlights
  • St. Jago De La Vega Cathedral - The Cathedral of St. Jago de la Vega is a church steeped in the rich history of Spanish Town and the establishment of the Church of England in Jamaica. After being designated as a Cathedral on November 28, 1843, the church took on dual roles. It served as a spiritual sanctuary for the parishioners of St. Catherine and facilitated governmental ceremonies and procedures for the island until 1872, when Spanish Town was no longer the capital of Jamaica.
  • Kingston - Driving through the bustling streets of downtown Kingston, Jamaica, offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience that immerses you in the heart of Kingston’s culture and lifestyle.
  • Emancipation Park - This six-acre park features fountains and public art, most notably the large sculpture “Redemption Song” at the main entrance. “Redemption Song,” named after Bob Marley’s famous song, is an 11-foot (approximately 3 meters) high bronze sculpture by Jamaican artist Laura Facey. The sculpture depicts a male and female figure looking towards the sky, symbolizing their triumphant rise from the horrors of slavery. The statue was unveiled in July 2003, coinciding with the park’s first anniversary.
  • Bob Marley Museum - The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, Jamaica, is dedicated to the legendary reggae musician Bob Marley. Located at 56 Hope Road, Kingston, the museum is housed in Marley’s former residence, which also served as the home of the Tuff Gong reggae record label founded by The Wailers in 1970.

Truly brilliant service! - We can never be bothered to write reviews when we travel, unless it's an absolute fantastic experience or a truly terrible one. This company (Dr. Fun Tours) is absolutely brilliant!! The kindest people (Dr. Fun himself and also Mr. Fun (was in training and joined our trip for practice, great guy!)) The communication worked perfectly, everything went very smoothly and on time and Dr. Fun knows everything worth knowing about local communities, history, current affairs, sights and everything in between and was happy to answer any and all of the questions we had. We got to see so much more than just the main attractions and the tour guides taught us so many interesting facts about life in Jamaica and the culture. We didn't drive the fastest way along the toll road, but rather up in the mountains and through small villages where we got to see how the locals live and go about their life. Of course we also went to the Bob Marley museum, Emancipation Park and all the other "main sights", but to be honest they were boring in comparison to the interesting guiding we got from Dr. Fun. These are super kind and hospital people who go out of their way to make your trip special. Unfortunately this was the only tour we had booked with Dr. Fun and made some other tours with other, bigger companies and were truly disappointed when we realised how much better Dr. Fun would have made the tours. If we were to do it all again, we would book every single tour with him. We also hired him for taxi and transfer services, and even when the job was just driving us from place A to B, he constantly told us where we were, the history of the places we passed and told us trivia about Jamaican culture and history. We are truly happy with the experiences and services provided by Dr. Fun Tours, and recommend them warmly to everyone visiting Jamaica!

Great tour! - My wife and I had a wonderful time with Dr. fun Tours. Our driver, Albert was incredible. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We loved seeing the old Spanish Town and Bob Marley's house, but also more of the sights in Kingston - including Ice Cream at Devon House and Emancipation Park. The trip was a highlight of our trip to Jamaica.

Perfect day tour of Kingston from Ocho Roos - This was the perfect day tour of Kingston from Ocho Rios (and a few things on route). It included Fern gully, Spanish Town, Bob Marley’s Museum, driving through new and down Kingston (including a quick diversion to Trenchtown) and the harbour. We wanted to see the highlights in one days and this was perfect. Would recommend to others.

Dr Fun brilliant as always - Our trip with Delton was brilliant. He showed us around Kingston and took his time. Nothing was too much for him to do. We also did other trips with him. He took us to White River rafting and to our family home in Clarendon. We are soo blessed to have met him last year when we visited Jamaica and did the Blue Mountain trip. He is very knowledgeable, polite & patient. Will definitely be booking our next trips with Dr Fun. Thanks Delton.
