Falmouth Heritage Walks

19/02/2021

Facebook memories reminded us today that one of the things that distinguished Falmouth Heritage Walks over the years was this brilliantly designed logo. We loved it as it perfectly depicted the historic buildings that would be seen on the walk. Many thanks to the designer, Nicole Ryan, who did such an amazing job creating it.

Today marks 10 years since we officially opened our doors for visitors to experience our Falmouth Heritage Walking Tour. It was such an exciting day. The first cruise ship to Falmouth had docked and we had 3 full pre-booked tours (36 cruise ship passengers).

We did ourselves proud over the years as a micro business and walked over 10,000 visitors through the streets of Falmouth. It was hard work but we were passionate about our product and sharing Jamaica's rich heritage, and the feedback from our guests was tremendous.

From 2015 we consistently received Trip Advisor's Certificate of Excellence, including the Hall of Fame in 2019. Thanks to our wonderful guests who took the time to write and post Reviews especially the 5-Star ones, but most importantly thanks to the fantastic tour guides who worked with us. Without them none of our achievements would have been possible.

Other achievements include the tour of the town's historic Anglican Church that we gave Prince Harry in 2012, a number of overseas articles featuring our company, and expanding our product by introducing the Falmouth Jewish Cemetery Tour plus the Falmouth Food Tour in partnership with Jamaica Culinary Tours. Our walking tour had also been instrumental in offering work experience for newly trained tour guides and we have been used as a model for other parishes to set up a similar heritage tourism product.

Special mention must be made of Hyatt House, our home base, the last stop on all our tours. Anne Hyatt, landlady/tour hostess, opened her house to us and we will be eternally grateful for that.

Unfortunately we have become a casualty of COVID-19 and today marks the closure of Falmouth Heritage Walks. We enjoyed the journey while it lasted and we are happy with the contribution we made to Jamaica's heritage tourism product.

Falmouth has a most fascinating history and it is our hope that the relevant authorities will do all that is in their power to preserve its historic fabric and give it the recognition it deserves.

Walk good...

Sanya....tour guide extraordinaire!!

We take great pride in our tour guides and they take great pride in the job that they do. For all of us Jamaica Culinary Tours is more than a job - it's a calling. Don't take it from us though - here's what a guest said recently about Sanya:

Sanya led our tour on 2/1/20 and the first thing I noticed was her passion and joy for her people and her country. So many people came to her with joy for hugs and hellos as we made our path to places I never would have ventured on my own, to learn and understand outside the gates of the protected port shops. Great stops for food and culture, all questions welcomed and my heart feels truly welcomed - by the country and by this company. Thank you, Sanya. I would highly recommend this tour

We are are not sure whether Jamaica's former capital, Spanish Town, had it's own official walking tour, but it is certainly worth the visit.

Just in!! Because we have earned a Certificate of Excellence every year for the past five years, Falmouth Heritage Walks has qualified for the Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame.

We are very appreciative of all the wonderful reviews that have allowed us to earn this reward. And of course this all wouldn't be possible without our fantastic tour guides.

Wonderful historic buildings, that were former residences, on Trelawny Street in Falmouth. Approximately 200 years old, one of these had the opportunity to reinvent themselves into a business, while the other awaits its turn to be lovingly restored to maintain its historic fabric and integrity, and then claim its place in the expanding business district.

The last stop on our walking tours allows our guests to sit and relax in the front yard, enjoy the cool breeze under the ackee tree and have a full view of the ships in port

We were very pleased that we were included in a week long itinerary organized for George Mason University Tourism students. They visited hotels, attractions and places of interest between Kingston & Montego Bay, and seemed to have really enjoyed their 1 hour customized evening walk of the Falmouth Historic District

One of the walks we offer is the Falmouth Jewish Cemetery & Heritage Walk. We take great pride in highlighting our island's rich Jewish history as so little is taught about it. Jamaican Jews are the oldest continuous community on the island and many of them have contributed to the development of our country.
