WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
This Rose Hall Great House is an early 18th century plantation home that sits on a high elevation on thousands of acres in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. The Rose Hall Great House was once owned by the famous and certainly one of the wickedest plantation owners to walk the land of Jamaica, Annie Palmer. She owned hundreds of slaves. This house became haunted after her gruesome death in 1831. The house is scary to look at even in the daytime. There is no stop at the Rose all Great House on your way to Negril however, your tour guide will tell you the history and slow down so that you can take photos.
2.
The Greenwood Great House (Plantation home) was constructed in the early 18th Century. Like most, if not all the other Great Houses in Jamaica, the Greenwood Great House was built at high elevation. One could say that this was a strategy used back in the plantation era as a means of overlooking the plantation and also for security purposes. This house, unlike the Rose Hall Great House, is not haunted but of a more peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The history and the architecture of the house is what will blow you away. As you pass by, feel free to take photos when your tour guide slows down.
3.
Columbus Park Discovery Bay The town of Discovery Bay is where you will find Columbus Park. It was originally named Puerto Seco “Dry Harbour” by Christopher Columbus in 1494 when he and his men landed on the Island. It is said that could not find fresh water to drink. They later found fresh water in another area about 5 miles west of the town. The water was so good that they named the location where it was found Rio Bueno (“Good River”). However, the town of Puerto Seco was later renamed in 1947 to Discovery Bay because Discovery Bay is where the Spanish, lead by Christopher Columbus landed when they invaded the Island on May 4, 1494. There is a park with several old relics and artifacts on display. There will be a brief stop to take photos and capture the rich history of this historic town.
4.
Bob Marley was born on February 6th, 1945. He died on May 11th, 1981. Visiting this small town is a priority for all tourists, cruise ship and stopover passengers alike from Ocho Rios, Falmouth, Montego Bay and from as far as Negril in the west. Nine Miles is a tiny village in hills of St. Ann where the reggae legend, Bob Marley was born, and fittingly, the place he’s now laid to rest. Although Bob Marley moved to Kingston at age 13 to live with his mother and to advance his music career, he would often return to Nine Miles to get away from the fast pace life of Kingston. Home is where the heart is and Bob Marley wrote several of his hit songs when he was in St. Ann. Nine Miles Jamaica was always his home and to have the full experience of Bob Marley; you will have to visit this town. A tour of this settlement will leave you with a greater understanding of the legend Bob became; in fact, the community today is pretty much how it was in Bob Marley’s early days. A Rastafarian tour guide will be on hand to guide you around the property and answer all your questions. Still present, is his first home and the very bed he slept in as a young child also as an adult when he would return on his many “cooling out” visits. The rock that he used as a pillow, on which he would relax. Quite a few guests have said that they have felt the presence of Bob Marley. The Nine Mile Tour includes his birth and resting place, what he liked to do and Mount Zion, the spot where he drew his inspiration from to write his songs. Visit the nearby Ethiopian church where his body was laid to rest with his guitar. Please remove your shoes before you enter as a sign of respect. Feel free to look around. The drive from Montego Bay will be approximately 2 1/2 hours.

Went with a private guide - the place is too commercialised - on entry forced into shops and "GIVEN" a piece of jewellery then told give me 40 dollars at bar for the piece of tat - did not want to go into bar but forced and had to buy 4 shots and drinks $68 - then marched to house and given talk, listened to band had to tip, went into church had to tip, tour guide stood at gates with hand out on the way - all staff there miserable and after you had paid the tour guide basically turned his back on you and ignored questions - Throughout tour told not about money or numbers about one love - it is all about money - escorted "frog marched around" and all about money - Bob Marley would be turning in his grave

This is the tour for you whether your a die hard Bob Marley fan or just wanting to find out a bit more about one of the most famous Jamaicans in history
The guides make it entertaining and give so much information from his birth to taking you to his place of rest. With somewhere in between a band playing some absolute Marley belters
Warning- make sure you’re through the gates before getting out the car

Cobly was the best driver. We felt safe going up to 9 mile with him, he even stopped us for authentic food and a little shopping. The tour guide Barky at 9 mile was really funny and had amazing stories. We unfortunately had a very large cruise group behind us so the tour was rushed at the end but still an amazing experience.

The bus Tour guide Mr Copeland was very knowledgeable, gave us a history of the area and provided us with safe transportation to and fro. Mr Barky who took us through the entire life of Mr Bob Marley…I certainly feel why he is so revered.

The drive up the mountains was lovely, and Bob Marley Mausoleum quite well preserved. There is much to see and hear, the guides were interesting and knowledgeable. Curio shops quite pricey.
