Additional Information

Bob Marley’s final resting place, located where he spent his formative years, features his austere marble tomb that elicits profound emotions. It is also the burial site of Bob Marley’s family members.
A journey to Bob Marley’s abode in Nine Mile encompasses a guided tour of the estate by Rastafarian escorts, often complemented by a performance of one of Marley’s tunes, an exhibition of personal effects, the celebrated ‘rock pillow’ where he drew inspiration, and the Marley family mausoleum. The mausoleum houses two sepulchres, one holding Bob Marley and his half-brother, Anthony Booker, and the other belonging to Cedella Booker, Bob Marley’s mother, also affectionately referred to as ‘Mamma Marley’.

Best Driver is Shauntay - Shauntay was the absolute best driver and guide. She made the experience much more amazing for us. She answered any and all questions we had about where we were going, Jamaica, and more. We also loved her music selections! The Bob Marley tour itself is very beautiful and heartfelt. There is so much richness and history in the tour and it makes you stop and really appreciate the genius that was Bob Marley. I highly recommend booking!

Entertaining experience - Great experience, the transportation was comfortable and the driver and his assistant were amazing. So helpful, accommodating, and entertaining! The actual tour of nine mile was also a great time. The tour guide was hilarious and very interactive with the group! We had a large group and everyone loved the experience!

Great drive with Giovanni! - We had a great time with our driver, Giovanni! He was professional, fun, and he played the best music! The patties at the resort we were staying at were not the best, so he even made a stop on the way back for us to have some good juicy patties. We would come back again and ask for Giovanni! We had a trip we will never forget!

BIG up's to our driver (sorry, I forgot your name) and The Tea Man!!! - I gave 2 stars for the driver because the drive was veeery long, but very exciting! He was very skilled on the roads and helpful in trying to find an ATM before and after leaving the tour. The other 2 stars are for the wonderful and generous Tea Man! I decided to grab a cup of his herbal tea because I was feeling a little nauseous and very thirsty after the long morning; unfortunately my husband had been having trouble finding an ATM with US currency, all day long! So after the entry fee and gift shop, he'd run out of cash and didn't have the $5 the Tea Man was asking; I was so THROUGH! The kind hearted Rasta offered me a cup no charge, I was so moved by his kindness, THANK YOU Tea Man! Your tea was wonderfully tasty, thirst quenching AND settled my stomach. Blessed be. As for the tour, Initially, I misunderstood that admission was included with the transportation; it is not, admission to the tour is an additional $30pp (a little overpriced for the experience). Overall, this was a nice experience for a Marley lover and first time visitor to the island.

Bob Marley fans will love this . - This was a great informative experience. We learned about Bob's early life and about his family. Our tour guide was excellent. The tour, lasting about an hour, was not inexpensive. A definite negative was several encounters during the tour where tips were actively sought (bar tender, short live musical performance, sale of smoking, and edible products).
