This exclusive private tour of Kingston and the Blue Mountains highlights the contrasts between urban and rural Jamaica. Among the star attractions are visits to a coffee plantation, Emancipation Park and the Bob Marley Museum.

First, we'll head into the Blue Mountains. Stop for an authentic Jamaican lunch and then tour the Craighton Estate – certified by the Rainforest Alliance – and taste its coffee.

Then, it's on to laid-back yet noisy Kingston. Tour historic sites in the capital's uptown like Emancipation Park – here you'll see the Redemption Song and the Bob Marley statues. At the Bob Marley Museum, you'll see mementoes such as his gold and platinum discs as well as his outfits and instruments.

The tour was amazing, couldn't fault it. However they weren't able to cater for my gluten free diet on the tour. The hotel stepped in to help and prepared food to take, but didn't have take away boxes for it. I had to cart a lunch tray with plates of food on it half way across Jamaica from Lucea to Kingston. Luckily it was a private tour in a car. Had it been a bus it would have been impossible.

Booking the TUI experience was easy enough. Becky is very informative at the time of booking and she'll tell you all that you need for the trip. We arranged for our pick up to be at 6am but the driver was told to be at our hotel at 05.45am. We expected the same driver but No! We were being dropping us off to meet a driver in Mobay. We were greeted by another driver on the side of the road but we weren't expecting this or even told at time if booking that we would have two drivers !

Very knowledgeable

Forked out £804. Got up at 4.30am for a 5.30am pick up and driver was a no show. TUI very difficult to get hold of and just left hanging. Not something I’d expect through a travel agent experience - will revert to Tripadvisor excursions in future.

The driver Uton made this trip for us. It was a long day, but he kept us entertained with his knowledge of all the areas we past through, history of Jamaica and his amazing music. He was so knowledgeable, respectful and professional. A true gentleman. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Upon had everything timed, even our lunch, he rang ahead so it would be ready for when we arrived. He really looked after us, to ensure we had the best and amazing experience

Disappointing start as our Tui rep had sent us to a pickup at the Hideaway lobby,but the driver was at the Royalton,wasting 20 mins. Our guide (Uton) was helpful and informative,telling us alot about life in Jamaica.Taking us safely to and from all locations.Felt that the 10 mins in Emancipation Park was wasted and perhaps a better location could have been found. We were unable to visit the National stadium (as promised) as there was an event on.Lunch was excellent with great views .
