A very good time in Ocho Rios!!! - Did my tour on April 18th of 2024. I booked it last minute and Winston was very agile to accommodate us. Very good communication and instructions. Our guide was Maxine. She drove very safely on the winding roads leading to 9 mile. Shes was very kind, knowledgeable and funny. We had a very good time and it felt safe all the time. 0 issues. I will definitively do it again with them. The house was great and full of history and good energy.

Great personal tour with a very skilled & knowledgeable driver - The Bob Marley tour was great & Winston was a very kind and well-skilled driver who was knowledgeable about the area sharing historical facts and answering any questions along the way. The van was clean and well maintained and we felt very safe throughout. This private tour is the way to go. The direct personal care is unmatched compared to a large group tour.

Great tour with a kind and safe driver - Mr. Winston was kind and a VERY experienced driver (which is important considering the terrain up tue mountain to 9 Mile.) We wouldn’t have wanted to take that ride with anyone else! He was on time and very knowledgeable of the area, providing historical information and welcoming any questions along the way. If we had more time, we would have booked additional tours with him. We’ll definitely book Tour Jamaica Today again the next time we’re in the area.

Best 9 Mile tour - Winston is the Mannnnn!!!! We love him, I've used him in the past and when I return I always call him. My wife said he's the only person she trust to take her up the Mountains so thank u so much. Lost something on his tour 2 yrs ago and when I seen him he gave it back to me. Love the honesty. Great company even better man. Again thank so much, We will definitely be using you again.

Private Tour to Bob Marley’s Homestead - Amazing tour seeing Bob Marley’s homestead. Henry was our tour guide and was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating with our delayed arrival via cruise ship. He did a great job telling us about the local culture, and the not so common foods (Jamaica pudding). Highly recommend especially if you want to still see the island and not pay the cruise ship excursion fees.

Saved our daughters Christmas gift. - Winston and Crazy Dave saved our day in Jamaica. We had booked this excursion with the ship and even though they advertised and sold us the ticket for our 16 year old the night before we got there they stated she had to be 18. This was the only thing she had been asking for for Christmas. I got in touch with Winston late that night and he made this happen for us. I highly recommend these 2 they are amazing

Excellent Insight into Jamaica! - It was awesome to visit Bob Marley’s home and resting place, it felt insightful and personal, and our on-site guide was very entertaining. Our driver Henry was professional, gracious, informative and took great care to ensure we got there safely with gems of info on Jamaica along the way. It’s 2 hours from the cruise port, so we found it an excellent way to see more of real Jamaican life along the way! Highly recommend if you are seeking something different to do that’s off the beaten track, well organised and enjoyable. Many Thanks to Winston & Henry 👍
