Best driver in Jamaica
Winston was so helpful and friendly. He explained what to expect, a bit of history of the island, and stayed with us the entire time. If you're planning to visit Jamaica there is only one person you need to call and that's Winston. He'll take good care of you!

I'm happy to all enjoyed the day and the experience as you go through the hills and valley and mountain and see some of the real Jamaica, and such a great experience about Bobmarley.

Honest and reliable tour operator - Winston
We had an outstanding experience with Winston! From the moment he picked us up, he was punctual, professional, and incredibly reliable. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour, and his driving was excellent. Winston's knowledge of Jamaica, especially Ocho Rios, was exceptional. He shared fascinating information about the island's history, culture, and local attractions, making the experience so much more enjoyable than just sightseeing. He also gave us great recommendations and answered all of our questions with genuine enthusiasm. What really stood out was how trustworthy and accommodating he was. We never felt rushed, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. If you're looking for a safe, knowledgeable, and dependable tour operator in Ocho Rios, I can't recommend Winston highly enough.

Bob Marley 9 Mile Tour Review
We had a great experience with Mr. Winston as our driver. He was an extremely safe driver which made the experience so much better going up and down the narrow roads thru the mountains. He was very warm, open, helpful and kind and we appreciated having our tour with him. The tour at 9 mile was a quick one mostly to see the location of Bob Marley’s birth and resting place as our tour guide didn’t give the best tour in all honestly but it was still a great adventure thanks to Winston’s safe driving through the countryside. I would not suggest this particular tour if you aren’t a true Bob Marley fan but would most definitely suggest requesting Mr. Winston as your driver.
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for sharing. I'm happy you enjoyed the experience both with your driver and the Bobmarley tour regardless the tour guide could spend a little more time, but overall it was a great experience. You was able to see little of the real Jamaica as you go through the hills and the and some of the farming in the hills also see the castor oil plant. I look forward for you guys to come again and get more experience of Jamaica. Thanks again for choosing Tour Jamaica Today. Stay safe.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ocho Rios.
How much does Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place cost?
+
Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ocho Rios usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Ocho Rios is not rushed.
Is Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ocho Rios, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place?
+
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 Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place?
+
Around 45 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 Ocho Rios 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 Ocho Rios and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place 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 Ocho Rios 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 Ocho Rios?
+
On Outty we rank every Ocho Rios experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Hole only-from Ocho Rios, Ocho Rios Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Tour, Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls Tour with Lunch and Cocktails at Reggae Hill. 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 Ocho Rios?
+
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 Ocho Rios?
+
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.
