BEST KINGSTON TOUR GUIDES ON PLANET EARTH - Marie and Donovan were the most amazing tour guides we could've asked for! They picked up from the airport with the biggest smiles and warm hugs, and that was the start of a jampacked 12 hour tour day. We visited Port Royal, Coronation Market, Shaare Shalom Synagogue, Bob Marley Museum, Trench Town, Water Lane Murals, Devon House (Marie got us a photo op outside the house, even though it was past closing time:). We stopped to get sim cards and cases of water too. The positive energy and good vibes just kept going, all the way to Ochi where they dropped us off for the night. (Can't forget the part where Donovan expertly backed out of the tightest driveway on a creepy deadend at the wrong address;) I cannot recommend Marie and Donovan enough! INVITE US TO YOUR WEDDING!!

Intro to the city - We are fresh back from the Kingston Day Tour with my Dad. His first time in Jamaica and he is buzzing from the great experience we had and he said to rate it excellent plus! Marie and Donovan really took care of us, and gave us a lovely experience of the city. It's beyond great customer service, they really felt like old friends out to show us a good time. A well thought out tour, and you can see that they love what they do and not just there to drive you around. Great picture opportunities, knowledge of the different areas, just overall a great excursion. Shame that we aren't in Kingston for longer otherwise we would have liked to have done more. When we are back we will definitely be back in the van! Big respect to you both, and we wish the best for you as the company expands and does big things :)

To do without hesitation!! - It all starts with a tour of the down town of Kingston with all these murals all more incredible than the last telling the story of the city, of Jamaica. Then we visit the National Museum which is full of art and artists to discover. There was a special on Hip Hop. We continue with a visit to the Bob Marley museum that won me over and where I enjoyed every moment. Then Maureen and her partner take us to Devon place where I ate the best party and ice cream in Kingston ever!! The guides were super interesting, caring and super kind. I definitely recommend them. The tour lasts about 6 hours and I swear it passed too fast, it says a lot about my experience that I referred tomorrow without hesitation. Thank you again and god bless you!

Brilliant tour guide. Great experience. - Marie was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the Kingston area. Marie was able to provide access to nearby communities, towns, places to eat, explore and visit. Including museums, Water Lane art walk and The Kingston Night Market were just a few of the available activities guide by her. Being transported around the Kingston and surrounding areas. Allowed for a more authentic experience of this part of Jamaica. Marie’s tours are definitely not to be missed. You will not be disappointed.

What a way to see authentic Jamaica! - Marie’s tour of Kingston was exceptional - she has so much knowledge and passion for the area and left no stone unturned in making sure we experienced the very best of what local Jamaica had to offer. From the most authentic tour of Blue Mountain, chatting and eating with locals on the way, to the historic Devon House and iconic Bob Marley museum. The next day we experienced a lot more of what this fantastic capital had to offer with a fascinating trip downtown, starting with an amazing local Ital lunch at Dub Club (go to Veggie Campus for the best vegan food!) then onto the impressive National Gallery followed by a quick drink on the sun soaked terrace at ROK (Regeneration of Kingston) Hilton hotel taking in the shore line and emancipation statue. But by far the highlight, was wandering through downtown looking at the brilliant murals that are part of the regeneration and mingling with the locals on Orange St outside Rockers Records watching live dub reggae with Yumi the DJ and various live mic reggae. What a treat! Marie made this tour super special and her energy, passion & knowledge are unrivalled; she really cares that you have the best time! If you want to experience authentic Jamaica, I would recommend her personalised tours in a heartbeat

Looking for more than just typical tourist experiences during your time in Jamaica? - Looking for more than just typical tourist spots in Jamaica? This tour took me beyond the surface and deep into the heart of the island—eye-opening, unforgettable, and way more meaningful than I expected. On Sunday, Marie, a contact from the professional and educational space in London, led me on an incredible tour of the Blue Mountains of Kingston. Coming to my parents’ home country, I thought I had an idea of what to expect—but I was wrong. I learned things that genuinely surprised me and left with a much deeper appreciation for Jamaica. As a solo traveller, it was cool to connect with high-calibre guests—strangers who somehow became friends by the end of the day. We got into deep, honest conversations about the island, our personal connections to colonial history, and how much we actually shared in common. Never thought I’d be having those kinds of chats with people I just met—but that’s the vibe Marie creates. She’s carved out a niche, challenging the usual misconceptions about safety in Jamaica. Marie knows exactly where she’s taking you, and I never once felt out of place or concerned. Eljay, the tour guide, was sharp, knowledgeable, and kept us engaged the whole time—dropping gems without making it feel like a classroom. Then came the highlight: standing at Jamaica’s highest point, taking in views no photo could capture, followed by a top-tier lunch thousands of feet above Kingston’s skyline. Food just hits different with a view like that. To top it off, Marie gave me solid recommendations for places to explore on my own—spots I wouldn’t have found scrolling online. That alone was worth it. All in all, it was an unforgettable day. Kind-hearted, warm, and blessed people, breathtaking views, serious food, and plenty of laughs. If you’re thinking about it—stop thinking. Book it. One Stop Cultural Tours deserves an award from the Jamaican Tourist Board. I highly recommend them. Big shout-outs to Marie and Eljay for making a top-tier One Stop Cultural Tour experience!

Marie gave us the perfect day—rich in culture, history, and personal touches—making Kingston an unforgettable experience - An Unforgettable Day in Kingston – Marie is Simply the Best! A perfect blend of culture, fun, and personalized experiences—our day in Kingston with Marie was absolutely phenomenal! From the very beginning, she took the time to get to know us, crafting an itinerary that perfectly suited our interests while adding thoughtful surprises along the way. Her attention to detail, deep knowledge, and infectious enthusiasm made this experience one we’ll treasure forever. Our adventure began in Trench Town, where we were transported back in time to the birthplace of reggae. Marie’s storytelling brought the history to life, making us feel truly connected to the roots of this incredible music. From there, we headed to Tuff Gong Recording Studio, where we were treated to a private, one-on-one tour, an unforgettable recording session, and the rare opportunity to witness an actual studio recording in action—an experience we never expected! Next was the Bob Marley Museum, where Marie's expert planning ensured we had an incredible guide who delivered the most engaging, interactive, and fun-filled tour we’ve ever had. She even arranged for a chance encounter with some truly remarkable people, adding yet another layer of magic to our day. To top it all off, we visited Devon House, where we indulged in the world’s best patties and the most delicious ice cream. Marie knew exactly what to recommend, and every bite was pure heaven! Beyond her extensive knowledge of Kingston, Marie has a rare gift—she makes you feel like family from the moment you meet her. Her warmth, kindness, and passion for sharing Jamaica’s rich culture and history shine through in everything she does. She didn’t just show us the sights; she made us feel the heartbeat of Kingston in a way that words can’t fully capture. Marie is a true gem, a masterful storyteller, and a world-class guide. If we could give her 10 stars on a 5-star scale, we absolutely would! She turned our visit into an experience of a lifetime, and we cannot wait to return to Jamaica and explore even more with her. If you have the chance to spend a day with Marie—DO IT! You’ll leave with unforgettable memories, a newfound appreciation for Jamaican culture, and a lifelong friend.
