Come idle a while with a Jamaican local who has the capacity to show off this amazingly beautiful tropical Island to travelers from all walks of life. I have worked in tourism for thirty years and have seen almost all the amazing sights and scenes that credits this Island as the "Pearl of the Caribbean" I am very knowledgeable of my country's history, statistics and current affairs. I have many years of experience in providing various groups and individual tours and packages to national and international travelers. I also endorse customized tours; "You create it, I make them happen". I also specialize in private tours, where travelers are more comfortable traveling and spending time with people they are comfortable with. As your private tour guide, time management is highly regarded, as some travelers, specifically cruise ship passengers have limited time to see and do all the things on their travel "wish list" So, come visit a farmers market, a rural community school, climb a cascading water falls, tread through a coconut or banana plantation, visit a quaint fishing village, ride through the hills with panoramic views of stunning landscapes, mountains and valleys or just simply lay on miles of white sand beaches. What ever your taste, it can be found in Jamaica, "the Heart-beat of the Caribbean". You are guaranteed complete satisfaction when I am chosen as your Jamaican tour guide!!!! ** IMPORTANT ** Driving distances between popular ports-of-call: FALMOUTH - OCHO RIOS: 1 hour MONTEGO BAY - OCHO RIOS: 1. 5 hours Licensed by the Jamaican Transport Authority.

Nine Mile is a quaint little village tucked away in the beautiful hills of Saint Ann, Jamaica. This is where international reggae superstar Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley was born on February 6th, 1945, and later laid to rest. This tour will take you through the little house that Bob lived in as a child. Your Rastafarian tour guide will share with you bits and pieces of insights into Bob's childhood and musical journey. Come, see Mount Zion "Rock" where the legend once meditate while being inspired to pen his many revolutionary anthems that are today being sung worldwide. Then reverently walk through his mausoleum, the final resting place of the "Reggae King", and light him a candle. Come and interact with a remote village that helped to influence one of the greatest musicians of the century. You will be left with a clearer understanding of a young man whose vision helped to change the thoughts process of many people worldwide.
Richard our tour guide was fantastic, funny and knowledgeable. Anyone who wants to book independently from the local resort excursions, should hire this guy. Thank you Richard it was a pleasure meeting you, you made my wife and myself very comfortable and the bottle beer was unexpected but very welcome. Thank you once again Suzanne and Jeremy Ward
Richard is an excellent guide. Funny, full of knowledge and genuine. Large spacious vehicle as well.
GREAT DAY OUT! Found Richard on Tours by Locals and booked in advance from the UK based on previous reviews. What a great find. Richard was on time, the vehicle was clean and spacious (party of 4) and Richard was a great guide, with nothing being too much trouble. We had great laugh on our way up to 9 mile to see Bob Marley's place. Rather than being a Mecca for Marley fans, it's commercialised but not in a good way, that said worth the trip and a great way to see rural Jamaica.
Hello Richard, We are already back in The Netherlands en we will thank you for your service last Friday. It was a beautiful day. Thanks. With kind regards, Roelof and the rest of the family
Highly recommend Richard! We really appreciated his warmth, humour, knowledge and kindness, we felt at home and part of the family being driven around by him. It was great seeing parts of the island other taxis apparently wouldn't travel on due to the bumpy roads, of course this was no problem for Richard and the elevated views were amazing! We were also grateful for him accommodating a pit stop at a supermarket before arriving back at the hotel. We've had a fabulous day, lots of laughs, thanks so much!
There are NOT enough STARS to give to Richard for the tour that he customized and provided for my family of 7!! He went out of his way to ensure my family was safe, entertained, educated and returned to the ship in plenty of time prior to departure. We truly felt like he was part of our family , and by the time we left we were calling him Uncle Richard. He is extremely knowledgeable about the island and even though we have been to Jamaica before we learned so much more after spending the day with him!!
Our day and the time we start the tour is flexible and is meant to accommodate your schedule and interest. Pick up from your pre arranged point Driving through the Fern Gully Rain Forest or over the the hilly terrains of the countryside Exploring the birth and burial site of the Reggae icon Lunch stop at an authentic Jamaican eatery.
