Very expensive day out, not sure it was worth it. It took 1 hour to get there, on a pot hole road, and I am sure the driver was driving 100 miles per hour........ Scary bus ride. Our guide was only interested in you giving him a tip for his bad singing, then wanted you to buy drinks to walk... More

We visited the mausoleum on a trip with JuJu tours, so we had our own local guide. Garth took us through a few local villages showing us places Bob Marley would have frequented as a young man. He also explained the very real poverty in the area around Nine Mile and let us know what to expect whist entering the... More

The trip to 9 mile village is a long one (4 hours from Montego Bay), so unless you're a dyed in the wool fan I wouldn't reccommend this trip. The trip getting there is an experience on narrow, steep, winding roads and drivers who use lanes more as guidelines than sensible practise. Once you arrive high in the hills you... More

A merchandise & second rate adventure to what could well have been a slightly educational adventure. The bus arrived in a concrete locked compound where the first thing offered through a hole in the wall were some weed selections at $20.. each & a slice of special cake in tinfoil for $20.. . we had at least 6 opportunities to...

We took this tour from Negril. It took us around 3 hours to get there from our hotel. It was a very long jour ye for the short hour that we spent at the mosleum. It was however very interesting and very relaxed and laid back, the tour guide was very funny and had everyone laughing throughout the visit. I... More

We booked a trip to go up to Bob Marley's Mausoleum on our Cruise ship stop off at Jamaica. We felt this was a good way to get to see more of the island and also some where we really wanted to visit. We booked the trip independently, rather than through the cruise company which meant we got a private... More

An hour and a half up the mountains dodging goats but finding potholes our bus was full with an eclectic group seeking the birthplace of reggae. Our guide was a vegan "rastaman" with many interesting stories regarding Bob Marley as well as his religion. Before arriving, he mentioned once behind the walls, we would have the opportunity to purchase three... More

Drove in a van with 7 other people from Ocho Rios, half of it on a mountain road that's basically a graded goat path. The tour itself takes about 1 hour after taking 1-1/2 hour to get there. I'm a big Marley fan, so I'm OK with that. Not for the faint hearted. Kids on the roadside on tight curves... More
