The Montego Bay Highlight Tour includes the following stops but can be customized to your preference :

1. Usually the first stop on the  Highlight Tour is at the historic Sam Sharpe Square, located in the heart of downtown Montego Bay and is named after one of Jamaica's national heroes, Samuel Sharpe, who led the Jamaican Baptist War Slave Rebellion that began on December 25, 1831. Below is a monument in his honor:
