Great Experience

Tanesha_R, May 2024

DD and Franklin were great. This was something I thought I would never experience but I’m glad that I did. Very good!

Good history

Carmen_O, Apr 2024

overall decent. Great history lesson. Pushy sellers, they make you walk into every gift shop. I felt like a herd of goats. But it was cool

Our tour guide was great....

Giana_H, Apr 2024

Our tour guide was great. He drove us there and back safely. On the ride there, he kept us entertained.

Great tour

katinageary, Apr 2024

We had a great time on this tour. Not only did we get information on points of interest but we also got to know the others who were on the tour.

Awesome.

Traci_B, Apr 2024

The tour diver, Marlon, was awesome. He made the I formation memorable. He has a great memory and is knowledgeable about the topic

A really enjoyable tour

Ebony_J, Apr 2024

This was one of the few tours that I found to be really enjoyable. The entire day went smoothly. Ms. Danesha made sure that we were all comfortable and enjoyed our day . And our driver Mr. Franklin, was excellent and handled the roads like a pro. We got to stop for souvenirs and lunch as well. Thank you both for such a positive experience.

What I wanted to...

Winklaar_A, Mar 2024

What I wanted to experience was taking some time to soak up the mountain peaks but there was no time for that!

Bob Marley

Tyffanie_D, Mar 2024

Overall a great tour! Informative and emotional. We loved every bit. Only downfall was the tour van was way to small with no leg space. Request the larger tour bus.

Very good

Marco_S, Mar 2024

Bob Marley s Mausoleum was an inspiration for me. We had a very funny tour guide. Spliff on the hole Area possibel..great!

My mom and I were in Montego Bay for her birthday. Our tour guide was Copely. He picked us up on time, and drove us to a shop so we could purchase souvenirs while he picked up some other passengers. He was very kind, funny, and entertaining during the drive to Nine Mile. He also told us which vendors to avoid once in Nine Mile so we wouldn't waste money. Afterwards we stopped for lunch before taking us back to our hotels. This was actually my favorite excursion while in Jamaica. Tip: bring socks if you don't want to walk barefoot while in the church and mausoleums, because you will be asked to remove your shoes as a sign of respect. I highly recommend this tour, and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to have Copely as your guide.

This was a wonderful...

Taylor_C, Mar 2024

This was a wonderful experience with the family. I highly recommend going if you are fan of bob marley.

Great tour but long drive!

Christal_D, Mar 2024

When you get to Nine Miles…they stop off at a little shop to use the restroom from your 2 1/2 hour drive to get there. You can also buy weed, spacecake, gummies and use them on the property. You then go to tour Bob Marley’s Grandmothers house and are allowed to take pics. They take you to a bar where you can purchase drinks before you walk up a hill to see the Graves of Bob Marley’s Mother, Bob Marley’s brother and Bob Marley himself. You have to remove your shoes and no pictures are allowed. Then you tour the home of Bob Marley and see his bed at the age of 13 before him and his mom moved to Kingston. You are allowed to take pictures. The famous rock Bob Marley sat on when he wrote his music…they encourage you to sit, take pictures and take a hit in honor of Bob. Overall, it’s about an 2 tour to walk around the property. The only downside is the long drive but I knew this before I booked the trip. I recommend this tour if you want to see History and pay respect to Bob Marley at his grave!

Must See🇯🇲❤️

Signora_M, Mar 2024

Our guide Copley was a pleasure to hangout with. He entertained us with fun facts about the island’s history and interesting info on Jamaican life while driving up on the twisty mountain roads. The Nine mile experience was moving and the walk up to Mt Zion was more pleasure than pain. The musicians & Mt Zion tour guide rounded out a lovely unforgettable experience!!

Loved it
