Excursion à Nine Mile

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.

It would be a good idea to inform people about the journey and the condition of the roads. Also how long it takes to get there, including toilet breaks.

The trip was cancelled by TUI the evening before the trip due to lack of people booking!!! Then you’ve the hassle of getting a refund because TUI Jamaica and TUI customer service don’t seem to talk to each other!!!

Memorable experience - Felt honoured to be able to visit and and resting place of Bob Marley and learn so much information about his life and family. The coach guide was informative and entertaining, as was the tour guide at Nine Mile.

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
