I'm not sure if this is a Viator problem or the tour company problem. I booked this for our 25th Anniversay. Sounds cool, right! I booked months in advance. The day before the tour i even got a reminder that my activity was coming and my ticket. The morning of our tour i still did not have confirmation of the time we are being picked up. I sent a message. The company got back to me saying they were not picking us up. They said it was because our resort was too far away. When I booked this tour I entered the resort I was staying at. There would have been months for them to reach out and let me know I would be too far away. I heard nothing. I would've never heard anything had i not messaged them to ask about the pickup time. It just ruined our day. Now, to be fair, they did issue me a full refund. Would they have done that if I didnt message? We'll never know. Luckily our resort had an Amstar desk where I was able to book this tour & Dunns River Falls for the next day- and it was cheaper. My advice to other people is to verify whether your resort is in their pickup area.

The tour is only about 30 minutes long but if you’re stay in the Montego Bay Area it about a 2 hour drive to get there and another 2 hours coming back but the actual tour is about 30 minutes long.

Best service in Jamaica
Had a tour with Andre and honestly from our communication before the tour till the end he was so easy. He is a safe driver, speaks about all things Jamaica along the way. He is so knowledgeable, funny and easy to talk to. My tour to Bob Marley’s 9 mile was incredible. Andre never rushed me, it was such a smooth and enjoyable day. Highly recommend!!!

The location at the...
The location at the cruise ship port was false. When arrived at the port the site was deserted no driver.
Response from the operator: Good day traveler I’m sorry your experience was like that, but we do not do pick up at ship ports all you should have done is select your location by typing your hotel name and we would have picked you up at your resort that you’re staying

Nine Mile Bob Marley Tour
The driver/ tour guide Terique was very personable , polite and pleasant. He went out of his way to make the tour a total joy. He made sure that I enjoyed the tour and he was very detail oriented, and on time for the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to my friends and have them request the same guide.
Response from the operator: Thank for sharing your experience with us 👍

Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.
Is Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montego Bay?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; On-board WiFi; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 182 listed pickup locations in and around Montego Bay. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Bob Marley's Nine Mile Guided Full Day Tour from Montego Bay offered in?
+
