We love Bob Marley & The Marley Family - Our driver Bailey took us on this tour and this was just an experience within itself. My husband is a BIG Bob Marley fan, so this was his birthday gift while we were on our honeymoon. It should be noted that the drive up the mountain is not for the weak because the roads are tight and the people drive like they're on an obstacle course...LOL! However, our tour guide Benji did an awesome job, he was very knowledgeable about the Marley's family history, and he made the experience very personable. We weren't allowed to take pics/videos in the tomb areas of the tour out of respect for the deceased, but my husband said it felt very spiritual to him once he entered Bob Marley's tomb area. We truly enjoyed it.
