Great Bob Marley Experience
The tour guide at Reggae Land was entertaining and informative. He seemed to really enjoy his job. The driver who picked us up was on time and got us there in safely and in record time. It was a nice experience overall.

Nothing but perfection
Where do I begin! This company, by far, has been the best tour company I have worked with. From the moment we walked out of MBJ and was greeted by Carlos, he made sure that this was going to be a trip to remember!
We booked all our adventurers with Carlos; from the bamboo ride and luminous lagoon to a day of shopping and finally the Bob Marley tour. We even made a stop to KFC.
On the second day in Jamaica Carlos and Renardo picked us up and from that moment the laughter did not stop. The professionalism from these two is wonderful and my aunts enjoyed these guys.
I highly recommend this company and definitely Carlos and Renardo. The bus was clean, the ride was smooth, and the conversations was great.
10 out of 10 anytime I am in Jamaica I will be booking with this company.

Bob Marley Birth Place
The roads to the house was bumpy but our friend Carlos makes the ride seems so smooth. He was so friendly and made us laugh. He stayed with us on the tour so that we could feel comfortable. The guide Captain Crazy was an amazing guys as well. He was well educated about the place. If your a Bob Marley fan I suggest doing this tour. Make sure when you book you request Carlos. Best service I received on my vacation.

Bob was a legend
Found Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours on Instagram. Shanice helped us to plan our trip. Our driver was Kevin, he was knowledgeable and professional. He made our trip as easy as possible. First visit was Bob Marley Nine Mile then my friends and I toured the southcoast of Jamaica and Negril. We will definitely use this company again.
