Nine Mile is owned and operated by Bob's family. It is not unusual to find his mother, affectionately called Mother B, personally greeting visitors, sometimes even being persuaded to relate stories of her sons childhood. And, if not Mother B, there is always Uncle Lloyd who is never too far away or too busy to tell tales of young Nesta. The actual tour starts with a walk through the very same house that Bob lived in as a young boy (now a memorabilia and Photo gallery). Your Rastafarian guide will share with you little known insights into the Bob Marley's childhood and musical career. You'll even have a chance to stand on 'Mt. Zion Rock' (Bob's meditation spot) and rest your head on the 'Pillow' (made famous in the song 'Talking Blues'). The highlight of the tour is of course walking through the beautiful mausoleum, Bob's final resting place.

Our Nine Mile tour will introduce you to a community that helped influence one of the greatest musicians of this century. It will leave you with a better understanding of a young man, whose vision helped change the thoughts of people worldwide. No small achievement for a man who often spoke of his respect for the simple rural life. Respect that helped guide his life. Respect instilled during his youthful days in the small mountain village locals still call Nine Mile.
