Great Experience - First, let me start by saying that our driver, Mr Lawrence, was fantastic. He was courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. He told us a lot of things about Jamaica we didn’t know. He was super nice and helpful. The drive was 2 hours from Montego Bay each way. We were glad we didn’t drive it ourselves. We stopped on the way up to Nine Mile for a restroom and snack break. Once we arrived at Nine Mile, we had to buy tickets for tour of house and mausoleum. The tour itself was only about 90 minutes. The tour was really interesting. The only thing I wish was different was that the price of tour was included in price. We paid 250.00 for the transportation and had to pay another 60 bucks for tour for two people. There were no other people in the van on our tour so I guess it was kind of a private ride out there. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

Awesome! - Our driver, Mr Lawrence was fantastic! He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He told us a lot about Jamaica that we didn’t know. It was a two hour ride up and back to Nine Mile. We stopped for a rest on way up and was able and to use restrooms and get some yummy Patties to eat. He was also a very good driver and we were thankful that we didn’t rent a car and do it ourselves. Once at Nine Mile, we went on a tour of Bob Marley’s boyhood home and his final resting place. The only thing I that would’ve made it this tour better was if admission to tour was included. After paying 250. For the transportation, We had to pay another 60 bucks to enter the tour of home. Many of the other local tours included price of admission and cheaper price. I had already booked this before I realized admission wasn’t included. Also, we were forced to walk about a mile to meet driver as they wouldn’t come to our address to pick us up at our Airbnb. It was right on a main road up street from where they picked us up at. Mr. Lawrence did bring us to our address when we got back and we were grateful. He was the nicest guide, ever.

Best Driver Ever - Corey was an amazing driver . From the very first day he picked me up he made me feel welcomed. Considering I was touring alone he made me feel super secured . He was patient , he took my photos , he suggested and we talked about history in a few things. He played my favorite music, and even let me use his hot spot on his phone to connect with family/friends. Not to mentioned I shopped around buying souvenirs for about a hour , never once did he leave me or showed impatience and offered to hold my bags. Corey is the absolute bestt driver ever . Whenever I come back to Jamaica I will be sure to call Mr Corey . Thanks for your service .
