The Falmouth Food Tour begins inside the Cruise Ship Port; and you will need your ID in order to enter this "Mini Falmouth", which is an enjoyable tourist attraction in its own right.
The Falmouth Cruise Ship Port
There's much to see in the Falmouth Cruise Ship Port - dancers, live bands, lots of art and crafts, restaurants and snack counters, and duty-free shopping.
Two cruise ships, "MS Independence of the Seas" and "MS Liberty of the Seas", docked at the Port, towering over the red-roofed buildings.

When you leave the port, it's only a few yards before you enter the chaotic narrow streets of Falmouth.
A sidewalk vendor displays in a typical glass-fronted cabinet, her escovitched fish (fried and garnished with lots of onion, carrot, and scotch bonnet pepper), fried chicken, ackee, and festival.
This vendor has packed her pushcart with a wide range of fruits and vegetables, including, cabbage, escallion, plantain, root ginger, pumpkin, otaheite/Jamaican apple, dried coconut, sweet peppers, yam, avocado, green bananas, limes, grapefruits, carrots, and more.
Your guide will safely lead you through the streets of Falmouth, pointing out historic sites, like the Albert George Shopping & Historical Centre, the Falmouth Court House, and the Baptist Mance which was formerly the residence of the preacher and abolition advocate, the Honourable William Knibb, OM. You will learn about the life and times in this area when sugar was king.
How many of these can you recognise?
