We had a great time! Our tour guide was Irie Sue and she was wonderful! She was full of energy and very knowledgeable! We had our 5 month old baby with us and he started to get fussy toward the end and she was very patient and didn’t make us feel bad about it. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend you to visit!

It took us maybe about a hour to get in but we ate at the lil cafe and the food was so good. I would suggest going a lil bit earlier to eat there 1st! You won’t be disappointed 😋We could not video inside of the actual museum but it was very informative and fun! We got to record in his studio and see a lil film! Great Experience❤️💚💛

I learnt so much history on the Greatest of all time. Photography is not allowed inside and I can't blame them, this is something you have to experience in person. Wonderful tour of the premises. Don't worry if you are a smoker there is a little treat at the end of the tour waiting.

Visiting the Bob Marley Museum was an incredible experience! Our guide, Irie Sue (Susan), was amazing her energy, humor, and deep knowledge carried us back in time to relive the life and legacy of Bob Marley. She made the tour unforgettable, sharing stories that brought his music and message of love and unity to life. The museum itself is full of history Bob’s home, studio, awards, and personal items are all preserved, giving a real sense of who he was beyond the music. You can feel his spirit in every room. If you’re in Kingston, this is a must-visit. And if you can, ask for Irie Sue as your guide—you won’t regret it!

The tour was amazing, Ricky our tour guide was an awesome and very knowledgeable commentator. Well worth the price for a tour to learn the history, and to see the many historical artifacts of the Legendary Bob Marley. My family and I enjoyed the experience.

This was a great tour! So much history. The tour took an hour. The history and information was great, but there was very little time to enjoy and take in the artifacts. It would have been nice to have some time in the rooms to really look at everything. Although I wouldn't want the tour to be any longer. 1 hour was plenty, but a little time set a side to really take in the art would have been better.

Nice place to visit when in Jamaica. Tour guide has amazing energy. It's a tour around the house, not much furniture left though. There's parking spot on premise. The turn into the house is pretty small so don't miss it.

The gentleman guide was quite entertaining on the tour of the house, there was a 'sing-a-long' vibe which was hard to resist, certainly on our visit it was worth the entry fee. Perhaps it was the time of the day but the food outlet had very little that was 'ital', they had beer which covered the issue! I was able to get a parking spot without too much difficulty at the venue. Would be a nice house to live in... if it wasn't a museum!
