Wander round viewing the memorabilia as your Rasta guide offers snippets...

What to remember

I enjoyed seeing the whole Bob Marley thing, but I hated being driven from the hotel to a shop to be pressured into buying goods and then rushed to the experience I had paid. We got that it all felt rushed we were on and out and instructed to not mess about and be back on the bus. We were only at the Bob Marley property for about 40mins. Then rushed to lunch and then back to the resort. I wish I had known that we would be visiting the shop before hand to ensure we had enough money with us..

Overall I enjoyed the tour though it's expensive for what you get. Very bumpy road. I'm shocked that a TUI tour would force people into a shack over the road from the BM museum to have cannabis forced onto them by the local rastas. Just forcefully say "No man" when offered. The BM tour itself was OK, not much info on the legend and a lot of requests for tips. A guy called "Captain Crazy" did our tour. He's a fun local rasta guy but some may take offence at what he says so keep an open mind.

Eerst naar een souvenirs shop op 10 min van het hotel , is een beetje onzin, omdat je in Nine Miles ook genoeg winkeltjes door moet lopen voordat je uiteindelijk bij het mausoleum bent. Geweldige gids daar,Captain Crazy! Op de terugweg op 5 min van het hotel gegeten, dan hadden we beter daar afgezet kunnen worden. Verder leuke trip en must see voor Jamaica, Bob Marley

This tour was not a half day tour. After numerous needless stops at shops and drug dens we finally got into the famous blue gates. After being encouraged to tip anyone and everyone or buy spliffs or candles, we finally got to look around Bob Marleys house of Birth and resting place. I loved this part of the tour as a huge fan. At the end of the tour the guide stood in front of the closed gates and pointed to a tip the guide sign. Great trip tarnished by endless money making and drugs

The bus driver, George & his assistant Nicole who took us to the 9 mile tour were extremely informative the area and all about Jamaica as a whole. Explaining things on route. The only negative I could say is that nothing was explained about what would happen once we arrived at the venue. When we arrived at the 9 mile tour we were taken directly to a hut outside where they were selling "stuff"!!! This wasn't an issue but it would have been nice to be aware of this.

I very nearly cancelled this trip because of all the negativity I read about it, mainly to do with the drive up the mountains but I can honestly say, it was a highlight of my trip to Jamaica! Yes, the road is bumpy! But you experience the REAL Jamaica. The trip itself is excellent! Chantelle told us so much about Jamaican culture. Once at the tour, it’s a small place but the respect to Bob Marley is amazing. His final resting place is so beautiful. Don’t read the bad stuff - book it!!!

On arrival you are offered ganja etc but not overly forced. Drinks can be bought at the bar before Bob Marley's cousin begins the very informative tour. A reggae band played music, the audience joined in & it was great fun. The guy was so funny & knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Food was fine. (V)

Our guide Casey and driver George provided a great commentary on the journey to and from Nine Mile - they are an excellent double-act. We learnt a lot on the trip about Jamaican life and culture. At Nine Mile itself, we got a tour from a very engaging and amusing guide (sorry, don't remember his name). We visited the Marley houses, the mausoleum and the church and it was very interesting and moving. Only negative - Lunch was underwhelming and nowhere near Nine Mile.

Could not recommend at all. Driver was great, tui guide was obnoxious at first however coming to the end of the trip when tips were due she was so friendly! Lunch was okay but service slow. Pushed into shack on arrival to be sold weed this should be optional to smokers . 9 mile was rushed the group was too big being 32ppl. Guide was rude and aggressive when a couple walked off. Underwhelming not much to see. Was nice to be at bobs final resting place but the tour was expensive for what it is.

The overall trip was enjoyable. The guide on the tour bus was rude at times. I think it was overpriced and the lunch stop was basically end of your tour virtually at the hotels headed in the opposite direction to pull up at a roadside outside diner to be served with a plate or rice and a bbq pork with a drink of some sort of weak juice. Expensive.

Nine Mile tour & Captain Crazy was fabulous - we really enjoyed that part of the experience. However Marcia the tour guide was condescending, rude & not at all interested in customer satisfaction. The tour was meant to be a 7:45 pick up and a half day tour. We got to Nine Mile at 12, left at 2pm and finally ate at 3pm then back to our hotel at 5:30pm exhausted. At the rest stop I asked why we were so late & when we’d be eating etc. Marcia was very rude in her response. I have made a complaint

The tour was good at the start, tour guide was explaining and showing us around Jamaica on the coach trip, we was then told to get off the coach and go into a wooden shack thing where one was trying to encourage us to buy cannabis. The man doing the tour on Bobs life made us tip him making you feel very uncomfortable not to. We was led into souvenir shops by TUI tour guide and just left us to be hassled into buying things then stopped for lunch the chicken was freezing and the service was awful.

Our tour guide Kevin was fantastic, you can tell he has a real passion for the job and made sure everyone was catered to. We had a lot of retired people in our group and Kevin did his very best to give them a phenomenal experience. The only downside was the excessive requests for tips on the Bob Marley tour. The tour itself is expensive and before we even get there we've probably tipped at least 4 people. It would make the experience more pleasurable if you don't pressure people to tip.

Expected to be hassled as per previous review. We were not harassed or hassled at any point. Don't miss it because of the poor reviews. It was a lengthy bus journey but worth the effort. We were certainly offered ganga, but there was no pressure at all. Our guide on the bus was very friendly and informative, and the 9 Mile tour guide was a hoot. Reminded to tip at the end of the trip, but that was it, and not unreasonable.

The experience was very good however the first toilet stop was totally inadequate. There was no running water or toilet flush. A women was going around with a bucket of water drawn from a tap and was throwing the water over our hands to wash them and down the toilet to flush them. She then went around wiping the seats with one cloth. Apart from that the tour of nine miles was very good, the guide was fantastic had excellent knowledge of Bob Marley and how his life was told in his music.

Our guide at Nine Mile was so knowledgeable and engaging - really made the trip for us. We were lucky to be allocated these great professionals- thank you Tui.

The guide was very informative, the trip was very interesting. But we were really sad to hear the minimum wage in Jamaica is only about $90 a week, we pay alot of money for these holidays to Tui and Riu, it is a shame that the money does not get passed on, we pay for Jamaican wages twice, once in our fare and then again in tips. Pay your people more is my most top tip. stop stinging us twice and improve their lives

Not an experience I would recommend doing with young children. Although it is part of the culture the exposure to marijuana is extremely high. Not a smoker myself, I was feeling the effects of secondary smoke for a while after returning to the hotel. Nothing against anyone's own desires to partake but felt like I had done without wanting to.

the tui guide was not informative at all . she never gave any indication of times or itinerary of the trip , it took 2 hours to collect people from 2 hotels then go to a tacky souvenir shop . absolutely no need for this stop which was literally 5 miles away. The long drive didn’t need to be made any longer!!!! the bus was very small , some seatbelts didn’t work . a small child didn’t have a seat belt . she told the family they wasn’t insured because he didn’t want to sit down .

I enjoy hearing of the life of Bob,from his birth until his passing at the pinnacle of his career, very interesting to hear of his poor upbringing, and because of the love of music he turned his life around and became one of the most famous song writer and singer before his career was cut short by his unfortunate death, what I didn't like is that we wasn't informed before hand that we will be walking around barefoot during part of the tour

The tour felt rushed as if we were on a short schedule. At end of your the guide kept asking us for money, when we said we paid for this tour and your tip was included he just walked off and started about tour with a new group of people.

We really enjoyed the Nine Mile tour! I had read reviews before going and was quite skeptical but we had so much fun and felt very safe! Our guide Barky was great and informed us of so many interesting things about Bob Marley and his family! It’s a smoking tour too so expect lots of people smoking around you which was fine but I definitely felt stoned at times HA. We had lunch after at Scotchies which was good too! I wouldn’t recommend this tour for kids though due to all the smoking.

The tour of Bob Marley’s house & seeing resting place was amazing to see. The journey to nine mile wasn’t so bad as the guide pointed out key locations on route, however the way back took almost two hour to get to the restaurant for ‘lunch’ (at 15:30) then another hour & a half afterwards to get dropped off at hotel. It was such a long day for only getting about an hour at the house. I don’t think stopping at the restaurant is necessary. Everyone just wanted to get back to their hotels!

The tour was very good however TUI’s organisation of it was very poor. We had a 8.40am pick up which turned into a 10.10am pick up when we got pushed back as there was more bums than seats. TUI had taken on more bookings than were available and they had to get another coach to divert and pick us up which resulted in the delay. If we knew beforehand not a problem as wouldn’t have needed to be ready quite as early . The tour when there was great and Barky the guide knew his stuff.

The tour was very rushed. My friend had difficulty walking up the hill. There were too many on the tour and by the time we caught up the guide was moving on, so we missed what he was saying and came away from the tour not knowing much more. Lunch was also very late and people were so hungry I was sharing food I had brought with them. We found all the trips we booked with TUI lunch was served in the middle of the afternoon and when you have an early pick up people were hungry.

The tour of 9 miles was great and really interesting, would recommend to any one interested in Bob Marley, our guide during the tour was excellent! However, unfortunately we couldn't give this 10/10 as there were points that overshadowed this for us. We were aware that we would be offered a certain drug, however were pushed by the tour guide & had to keep walking away. There was way too much messing about so the day was longer than it was advertised and the food at lunch was awful

We’ve done this tour before so knew what to expect. Didn’t expect to be taken to a bar away from the house first to be (what felt like) forced into being sold weed. Fully aware of where I was, but there was a child on our tour and no choice given into being taken there. Then was being intimidated when we said we didn’t want any. Journey home was too far, seems like we went all the way around to go for a meal that wasn’t needed. Trip should be advertised as a full day!

The tour was good however you need to put on the app that is is more than a half a day tour as we were picked up at 8.40am and didn't get back until 5pm so this is a full day trip. Also the mini bus we were on wasn't very comfy for the length of time we were on it and it was leaking from the radiator and smoke was coming from the air conditioning. I felt quite unsafe in this as did other passengers.

En route you get to see the real Jamaican life & the guide (Cheryl) gave us loads of information about Jamaica on the way pointing out things plus stopping for photos. At the foundation the Jamaican guides are really funny & entertaining again with facts & information up to the Marleys resting place. If you’re a Bob Marley fan this trip is a must. Also a spot of lunch & drink provided towards the end of the tour.

Lots of fabulous photo opportunities! The only aspect of the trip that we wouldn’t recommend is listening to the guide’s advice on purchasing ‘ganja’ from a local. Some participants purchased this for $25 a smoke and $25 a tea, which was extremely expensive.

The time we spent at nine mile wasn't rushed and could take in all we needed. The lunch stop was nice but not sure about the gift shop stop. The only thing that let the trip down was the speed of the driving, Coin McRae wouldn't have kept up with us

The beach here is fantastic and I love how most of the rooms seem to overlook it. I think as it’s a very large complex and the restaurants on offer, whilst very good, didn’t seem geared up to cater for such a large capacity day in/day out in comparison to other Riu properties, the breakfasts were always amazing but by dinner it all seemed a little repetitive and underwhelming. We still had a fantastic holiday though and would and have recommended it. Staff are lovely and friendly and the complex is extremely clean and tidy.

The bus turned up 15 minutes late with no acknowledgement or apology, but the guide and driver were great from that point onwards. I particularly have to praise Gregory for his careful driving in some hairy situations! I also learnt a lot about Jamaica en route. The Bob Marley tour itself was a little rushed. After such a long journey to get there, I wanted to look around at leisure, but we were ushered in and out quickly - on to the next thing (more tour groups were hot on our heels) "Captain Crazy" was quite fun, but would go off on tangents and talk to groups separately, before other people had caught up to the new room / building. It would be much better to talk to everyone in a group, then allow us to explore the various buildings afterwards and have time to do photos etc properly. He was also a little too over keen to collect tips at the end, holding his hand out at the gate. Lunch at Scotchies was nice, though again a little rushed. Some were served more quickly than others, but everyone had to be ready to go back on the bus at the same time. It would be nice to have a fish option for those who don't eat chicken or pork. The vegetables were nice, but not as good value as the meat options.

Half Day coach trip to 9 Mile - collected on time, drove up into the mountains to 9 Mile, had a tour of Bob Marley's former house which was good, although I visited in 2007 and it is much more commercialised now than it was back then. After the tour we went to Scotchies for lunch which was very poor - as usual on trips in Kamaica lunch is always Jerk Chicken or Pork with Rice and Beans, the chicken was very dry with just bones (no breast), no flavour to the rice & beans, when we got back on the coach we were asked how we enjoyed the famous Scotchies sauce - no sauce was served! We got back to the hotel after 4pm which is longer than a half day tour

Great trip to see Bob Marley’s house and history. The tour guides were hilarious, honest & knowledgable. The day is a lot driving, on bumpy/narrow roads and the coach/bus is not the most comfortable and it was jam packed. Scotchies is a nice stop but I have had better jerk chicken. The experience is worth it though, you can’t visit Jamaica without seeing the legends house.

Overall we enjoyed it, but there are a few things you need to be aware of going into it, as follows: We were picked up from our Hotel and taken straight for a "rest stop" which was a gift shop no more than 5 mins drive away. Totally unnecessary and clearly an arrangement with the shop to bring tourists in. The stuff they had was average and fairly expensive, and someone follows you around the shop the whole time. From there it is a 1.5 hour drive up to Nine Mile along mountain roads which are quite windy and bumpy, but no big deal. This part of the tour was enjoyable as the guide talked to us about the towns we were passing through and some interesting facts about the island and way of life in Jamaica - this was really rewarding as it felt like we saw some authentic Jamaican life. On arrival at Nine Mile, before entering the Bob Marley museum, our guide shepherded us towards a guy selling weed and various weed-related products. No pressure to buy but it felt a bit uncomfortable if, like us, you're not into that. Some folk went for it and bought joints and hash cakes etc - more on that later. The Bob Marley tour was decent and we enjoyed it, but don't go expecting a high-quality 'museum' experience. The reality is a few small buildings, some original and some newer, and a guy called Captain Crazy taking you around telling you a disjointed version of Bob's life story, while cracking jokes and generally acting like an exaggerated Rasta caricature. We liked him and thought he was funny, but as an informative and credible tour guide not the best. At the end you go to Bob's mausoleum, where he is laid to rest with his brother and his mum. Captain Crazy then takes you to a little church and conducts a service, which given his antics up until that point were hard to take seriously. Seemed a bit of a random addition. After the tour it was back on the bus for another 1.5 hours to go for a jerk chicken lunch along VERY bumpy and windy roads back down the mountain. At this point one of the family who had earlier indulged in all the weed products proceeded to puke all over himself. However, what really annoyed us was this journey was in the opposite direction to the hotel, and we stopped at a bang-average roadside chicken place which was not even on a par with the jerk hut at our hotel. We were the only people in there, and the weed family all pretty much passed out at their table. This left ANOTHER 1.5 hours back to the hotel, which by that point was just a killer journey and felt like a massive waste of time. In the end we're glad we went because it was an experience, we got out of the hotel and saw some stuff which we were grateful for, and felt some connection to Bob Marley afterwards, which at the end of the day is what it was all about. But if you're going to do it, go into it with your eyes open as per the above. Yeah man :)

This is our third time at the Ocho Rios and we throughly enjoyed our stay. The food was beautiful, we didn’t go in any of the other restaurants like the Steakhouse or the Mandaley, as the food was so good in the self serve restaurant everything was tasty and the soups and desserts delicious. The only thing that stopped us giving you 10 out of 10 was the Sports Bar, it should renamed The Nasty Bar as the barmen in the Sports Bar can be very rude and quiet nasty during the late shift 8 -11 Your hotel rep Amaril was fantastic really helpful lady

The tour guild never really said anything on the bus needs more training. And the replacement driver after we dropped off the first one at the hospital which we hope he is OK by the way. But the second driver must have got his licence from a cereal box. My partner had to close her eyes she was that scared from the speed to the unsafe and absolutely pointless over taking manoeuvres. 9 miles it's self was great and the guild at 9 miles was amazing we was looking at more trips but this has put us off

Tour was great but the coach was too small. The seats weren't big enough for 2 adults which made the trip very uncomfortable especially as the roads were very bumpy.
