We went to the museum and was shocked to realise that they charge $20 US per person to go into the museum and be part of the tour. Our tour gide could not be less interested in portraying the story of Bob, mumbling a couple of facts in a robotic fashion. They take you through a couple of empty rooms,... more

We took the trip from Ocho Rios. It was a long and at points scary ride but so beautiful and so worth it. We had our waiter from the Sandals resort drive us and act as a guide. When we arrived we were pretty much surrounded by the locals trying to sell us pot or take the pot fields tour.... more

We travelled to Jamaica for a two week vacation, and could not leave without paying a pilgrimage to the Bob Marley Museum. We booked a private taxi for the day, so we were able to go around the island and enjoy the beautiful countryside and the company of Mooney our taxi driver, who looked after us and our every need.... more

Wow what a cultural uplifting experience! We stayed at the Gran Bahia in Runaway Bay and took the 1 hour trip up to nine miles. We went through the fern gully, It was so beautiful! Then things really start to get rural. Your driving up this mountain, with no rails. The sights are so amazing. We saw all the wonderful... more

Bob Marley and his reggae songs are inextricably linked with Jamaica. We visited Jamaica earlier in the Summer. We are not Marley fans, but were interested to learn more about him and his music. We were not disappointed!. There are 3 principal attractions in Jamaica which are dedicated to teh memory of this musical giant. Each is based in one... more

What a blast... The Bob Marley "9 mile" tour is a must visit... It's a fantastic tour for all reggae fans. The ride into the rain forest, up the Jamaican Blue Mountains and into 9 Mile is unbelievable. Our driver stopped a few times for some breath taking photos. Take the time.... (On a side note, please bring some sweets,candy,coloring... more

My husband, two other hostellers and I rented a car and drove over to 9 Mile to visit the birthplace of Bob Marley, and take the tour of his home and mausoleum. We are all very savvy travellers and had been in Jamaica (Negril) partying for a few days before we went up to 9 Mile, so we were used... more
