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.
