Terrific tour. Our guide Germain was excellent. Crazy ride up in the mountains to nine mile but well worth it. The Bob Marley tour at nine mile was wonderful. Very moving
Valerie_K, Jan 2026
I was picked up promptly by Copley Johnson. He answered all our questions and gave us a tour along the way. I really enjoyed getting to see the final resting place of Bob Marley and pay my respects. It’s a beautiful and fascinating place.
Nanah_S, Jan 2026
Tour was cancelled the morning of the event because they could not find enough people to go on the tour
Alia_S, Jan 2026
This trip is unforgettable! And if Copely is your driver, he will make it even more memorable.
Very knowledgeable and engaging.
I always ask tons of questions, and he was very open and happy to answer them. He knows a lot about the island and shared many stories along the way. Also very patient and nice.
And of course, the Bob Marley tour itself is a must when you’re in Jamaica. 200 out of 100 🤩 Totally recommend!

It’s a long day but well worth it. Marlon was a great tour guide. At Bob Marley’s home it was very engaging. We could feel the vibes as if we were there with him.
NOTE: Bring cash for tips.

Only that the the tour guide went over and above his role despite adverse traffic situations this beautiful man got us back safely with a wonderful experience
APRIL_M, Sep 2025
tour guide very informative we learned a lot just on the drive there and he new just as much as the 9 mile tour guide. Great experience overall
Julia_H, Aug 2025
Our tour guide COLDPLAY was the best gave us so much information about Jamaica made our two hour trip fun and adventurous. He did rest stops to use restroom and kept us laughing. When we got to 9 Mike he made sure we was ok and handed us to Captain Crazy lol he was so funny and informative.
Bryan_J, Aug 2025
Very friendly driver who educated us and kept us entertained while driving to the destination. The Bob Marley tour itself is a little underwhelming. You’re basically just seeing his house and where he was raised but we still thought it was worth it. Be aware if you’re bringing children that this is a ganga smoking tour so your children will be exposed to second hand smoke.
lynnia_h, Aug 2025
It was truly a well put together experience of the great legendary Bon Marley birth and resting place. I recommend everyone to book the experience upon visiting Jamaica.
Copely our transportation guide was very pleasant hospitable and knowledgeable. It made the ride lively interesting and very informative because of all his knowledgeable. He represented the Bob Marley 9 Mile experience well
Ashley_E, Jul 2025
Great experience. Learned Bob marley facts i was unaware of. I also got to see family homes and Graves so you definitely get a full experience.
Shaniqua_B, Jul 2025
The trip was sooo much fun and our driver Clive did a good job keeping us entertained and gave alot of information along the way....only thing it was when we got to exhibit every corner you turned it was put a donation in a basket until it made you not want to !!!!
Tyrone_F, Jul 2025
Great activity to do on the island, just it was a long draining drive to and from the grounds. Definitely would like to see what the family decide to do with the property later on.
James_M, Jul 2025
Excellent tour..Clive was a brilliant guide. Very informative and good fun. Highly recommend to take this tour
Michael_R, Jul 2025
Our tour guide was absolutely excellent. Copley provided historical history along the way to 9 mile. He made a stop for us to buy souvenirs and a restroom break.
Kamisha_B, Jul 2025
One of the tour guides is wild! Pulling jokes out of a phone book! (Don’t take that seriously please)
Emma_D, Jun 2025
Excellent tour. Nice relaxed pace. Driver was superior. The experience asked a lot of the seniors but all survived.
GWENDOLYN_D, Jun 2025
To visit the Marley home provided a learning experience regarding who he was and his influence on the Jamaican culture and the world. Take plenty of cash for tips and merchandise. It's worth it because the people are anxious to serve!
Alva_C, Jun 2025
It’s a long ride but it’s well worth it. The tour guide was excellent and our drivers was excellent as well
Maria_C, Jun 2025

Tamara_W, Jun 2025
We learned so much and the tour was amazing! The ride there was a little crazy with the narrow roads but totally worth it !
Ana_A, Jun 2025
Got a little motion sickness going up in the hills but once we got there it was an awesome. Seeing where the legend of Reggae was born and buried was just great. Everything so nice and clean and they all friendly. Learned other stuff about the legend that we didn’t know. Great experience
Trey_R, Jun 2025
I took the tour 🚌 to see 9 mile and Bob Marley birthplace and burial site. The driver Kirk and tour guide D was awesome 👌. The only thing I would say is that the company should emphasize that the tour will take all day because of the travel time ⏲️ and tight roads getting there. The tour itself is only 45 minutes but it takes 8 hours from pickup to finish.
Going forward I hope that they can find ways to trim down the time if possible.
That's my only gripe. If it wasn't Bob Marley (a legend) then I believe that most people wouldn't participate. 😏🤷♂️
Once again, our driver and tour guide was excellent 🙌😊
Vickie_C, Jun 2025
Very pleased with the trip and it was very educational. I thought the walking trails could use some improvements and maintenance.
Shurland_P, May 2025
Had a great time , enjoyed seeing where bob Marley lived and what he did. Also so the burial grounds of relatives
cheryl_B, May 2025
Awesome tour. Tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. Be prepared for steps and a little walking. The driver Jermaine was great and provided entertainment and shared some history and famous landmarks along the way.
Noel_L, May 2025
Barky (Robert) was our tour guide. Awesome opportunity to learn more of the legendary Bob Marley. Be able to see first hand the dolls his Mom sewed by hand, the pictures on the wall, the actual cold stone floor & rock stone pillow Bob Marley mentioned in his song. 10/10 recommended. If you're a Bob Marley fan definitely have to book this excursion.
Kristian_B, May 2025
We actually needed to switch from the SNL Marley Nine Mile tour to the Negril 7 mile/Rick’s Cafe tour for personal reasons and SNL was great about helping to adjust our reservation quickly. For Negril 7 mile Beach, Clive was our tour guide and he was absolutely the best very kind, funny and patient! This tour provided plenty of time to relax and enjoy Negril 7 mile Margaritaville and then Rick’s Cafe for Cliff diving and fun. We felt very safe with Clive who was super knowledgeable about all things Jamaica and happy to chat and share his knowledge. We hope to take another tour with SNL and Clive the next time we visit!
Sean_B, May 2025
Jermaine was a fantastic driver and full of info, answered all the groups questions even was very accommodating for one of the group that wasn't feeling well.
Nakisha_S, Apr 2025
