Worth a long drive!
After a long drive, I was glad that it was worth the discomfort of a packed minibus. Our guide round the museum was a young girl so full enthusiasm that she made everyone liven up and get involved. Loads of Marley information, and even if you are not a superfan, you will still have a great time.

So Much Packed in Such A Short Life...
Really great tour, the guide made it so much more fun, really clever to theme some key parts (also a sing along or two) around Bob Marley songs. Really informative and a trip to Kingston is not complete without it (I would say it is the top attraction in Kingston actually). The theatre piece towards the end was very moving and the house itself contained original artefacts, even the holes where the bullets were lodged in the walls from the assassination attempt. What made it more poignant was that it was exactly 40 days to the day of the assassination attempt we visited. Another key point was the studio most of his recordings were made and a history of Island records and how the house came to be bequeathed to Bob Marley. Pictures not allowed inside- and understandably so. The memories will live with me for long to come. Good fun, sometimes emotional and in all, very highly recommended.
