At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kingston to begin a tour of one of the most famous sights in the Jamaican capital.

After about 30 minutes on the minibus, we arrive at Port Royal, originally founded by the Spanish and once the biggest city in the Caribbean before being destroyed by an earthquake in 1692. Under British rule, it was a Royal Navy base, and we'll learn about its history.
