Historic Sightseeing Tour from Falmouth

Your historic Falmouth sightseeing tour will take you on a brief highlight tour of the town of Falmouth.

It was named after Falmouth Cornwall in England, the birthplace of Sir William Trelawny the Governor of Jamaica who was instrumental in its establishment. The town was meticulously planned from the start, with wide streets in a regular grid, adequate water supply, and public buildings. It even had piped water before New York City.

Stop at William Knibb Memorial and see the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt High School. Then spend the rest of your time at the private white sand beach club at the Doctor's Cave.
