The Jolly Trotters story is one of high expectations followed by disappointment, with perseverance and innovation being hallmarks of the stewardship of Roger Thompson, the man at helm of a company which was poised for take-off when at the 11th hour it was grounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A marketing professional with decades of corporate expertise under his belt, having worked in the capacities of general manager, marketing manager and group marketing manager for some of Jamaica’s top companies, Thompson finally decided to parlay his years of business acumen into pursuing a venture of his own, when fate dealt him a cruel hand.
The tour guide is an exciting role for the person who will effectively be an ambassador for Kingston and Jamaica when the world gets a respite from the COVID-19 pandemic and Jolly Trotters can finally kick off its two-and-a-half-hour Kingston City Guided Tours of the Jamaican capital.
Starting from its office right next to Emancipation Park, the tour will head to downtown Kingston via Tom Redcam Ave, along Marescaux Road and then East Street. A stop is mad at Victoria Pier, where tourists can get a chance to learn about the many places of historical and cultural significance. Tourists will be allowed to disembark at the pier and catch a distance glimpse of Port Royal across the seas or take a picture of the oversized statue of former Minister of Finance Noel ‘Crab’ Nethersole which dominates the entrance to the Bank of Jamaica.
