Good educational tour - It started off a bit off as our guide wasn’t there but Moesha took over and made it a great experience for us; she was jovial and involved even the kids. It was an enjoyable, educational experience despite the sun

Fascinating and very photogenic - Not to be missed. This tour of the art work and appreciation of the rich culture of Jamaica plus links to other countries captures the heart of the place. Stunning murals and really interesting commentary. Bring an umbrella for sun shade.

Art, history and culture in Kingston's downtown - Great Tour! There are hundreds of beautiful murals and the tour guide Melissa was able to connect the images with local (and global) history, culture and food. Highly recommended for visiting part of Kingston less explored by turists.

Excellent tour, highly recommend - Had the best time with Jasmine - I was the only one booked and had a wonderful time speaking with Jasmine about the tour but also her extensive knowledge of local art culture and life in Kingston. I learnt a lot about Jamaican culture too, Jasmine was very generous with sharing her knowledge. It was super hot and the tour provided both water and an umbrella which went a long way to make the tour comfortable. The organisation itself is a non profit arts organisation revitalising art in the neighbourhood and supporting local artists. Would highly recommend supporting them.

Artist-led tours of creativity and living culture - Wonderful tour. Melissa is an incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide, and we appreciated that Kingston Creative’s tours are led by practicing artists who can speak from experience and personal knowledge about the community. We learned so much about the history, music, and culture of Jamaica as well as about the artistic innovations and vibrant arts scene in Kingston today. We can’t wait to return for another tour!

A must visit - The Kingston Creative Water Lane Mural tour is well worth the visit. The vibrant colours of the murals depict Jamaican legends and everyday people. The different collection of bands was good and the drumming was spectacular. Melissa was an excellent tour guide She had in-depth knowledge of the different murals and provided other cultural and historical information of the area. Melissa is very friendly and engaging and has a natural flair for storytelling.

Downtown Kingston alive again! Water Lane was magical, the history of Jamaica was beyond our imagination - We were in wonderland, so much history and memories for the older ones in the group, the murals depicted our music, arts, sports, and everyday Jamaican's life, Melissa our guide was exceptional, she was knowledgeable and informative, very pleasant and accommodating, I hope she's there when we visit Jamaica again in December 2025, I'm proud of the work you have done with downtown Kingston ❤️
