Cool tour. Provides insight into the life of some of Trenchtown's musical heroes. I was also interested in the story of how Trenchtown developed. Shanty towns in Kingston are still being developed today the same way-that's not necessarily a good thing, but it's interesting none the less. More

If you know Bob Marley Music is it a must to do in Kingston! Watch the new documentary "Marley" now on I-tunes first...to truly get a good understanding of this location and how important it is and was! More
