The journey to Nine Mile from Ocho Rios was lovely, the scenery was amazing in parts. Nine Mile itself was disappointing, although I do admit to not being a big fan of Bob Marley. The entrance fee was $19 US each, for which you see a tiny museum, Bob's house on Mount Zion and the two mausoleums, but you are... More

Interesting to those a bob marley fans, one thing I don't like is you can buy a weeds, pot season. You can see also the mousileum of bob marley family.

I am a huge fan so i most definitely knew i would be going on this tour... i have to admit had it not been combined with the Dunn's River Falls tour i would have been very disappointed. Make sure you book this in a combined tour... or you will not be satisfied. Was a beautiful place with a great... More

Excursion about nothing! First you'll be scared by very long trip via poorly paved mountine serpanthine roads. Then you'll be charged 20 bucks. And see almost nothing. And there are a lot of turists openly smoking marijuana. I hate this smell!!

The journey through the countryside of St. Ann Parish was the more enjoyable and memorable part of our visit to Nine Miles, the early home base and resting place of the legendary Bob Marley. We loved the drive through the mountains, fields and towns along pot-holed roads. The views and landscape was breathtaking! We had a drink stop at a... More

We hired a private taxi from Montego Bay and round trip it was about 6 1/2 hours. I really enjoyed the scenery all the way along the coast to Discovery Bay. Then the drive up into the hills of St. Ann's was breathtaking and you get to see the "real Jamaica". Although I caution that this road is very bumpy,... More

The drive through the winding roads, hills and mountains was tranquil and a sight for sore eyes. Once we arrived, we met our guide who introduced himself "They call me Captain Crazy" and from that point we were provided the most memorable tour of Bob Marley's birth place and personal stories of his life. While there, I purchased the book... More

do this independently so much cheaper than your travel rep,must say was not worth the visit for the price, but an experience to say the least .The tour is about 30 mins from start to finish the high lights of the tour is seeing bob`s marleys birthplace and his mausoleum.
