Best driver in Jamaica

Winston was so helpful and friendly. He explained what to expect, a bit of history of the island, and stayed with us the entire time. If you're planning to visit Jamaica there is only one person you need to call and that's Winston. He'll take good care of you!

Honest and reliable tour operator - Winston

We had an outstanding experience with Winston! From the moment he picked us up, he was punctual, professional, and incredibly reliable. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour, and his driving was excellent. Winston's knowledge of Jamaica, especially Ocho Rios, was exceptional. He shared fascinating information about the island's history, culture, and local attractions, making the experience so much more enjoyable than just sightseeing. He also gave us great recommendations and answered all of our questions with genuine enthusiasm. What really stood out was how trustworthy and accommodating he was. We never felt rushed, and it was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. If you're looking for a safe, knowledgeable, and dependable tour operator in Ocho Rios, I can't recommend Winston highly enough.

Bob Marley 9 Mile Tour Review

We had a great experience with Mr. Winston as our driver. He was an extremely safe driver which made the experience so much better going up and down the narrow roads thru the mountains. He was very warm, open, helpful and kind and we appreciated having our tour with him. The tour at 9 mile was a quick one mostly to see the location of Bob Marley’s birth and resting place as our tour guide didn’t give the best tour in all honestly but it was still a great adventure thanks to Winston’s safe driving through the countryside. I would not suggest this particular tour if you aren’t a true Bob Marley fan but would most definitely suggest requesting Mr. Winston as your driver.

Operator response

Hello, thank you very much for sharing. I'm happy you enjoyed the experience both with your driver and the Bobmarley tour regardless the tour guide could spend a little more time, but overall it was a great experience. You was able to see little of the real Jamaica as you go through the hills and the and some of the farming in the hills also see the castor oil plant. I look forward for you guys to come again and get more experience of Jamaica. Thanks again for choosing Tour Jamaica Today. Stay safe.

5/5 - Bob Marley Nine Mile Tour with Winston

The most meaningful day of my trip — and one I'll never forget I traveled solo to Jamaica and was a little unsure what to expect booking this tour on my own. What I got was one of the most profoundly moving experiences of my life. From the winding mountain roads of St. Ann to the sacred ground of Nine Mile, this day exceeded every expectation. Mr. Winston made me feel completely at ease from the start. As a solo traveler, having a guide with his combination of deep knowledge, genuine warmth, and easy humor made all the difference. He never made the experience feel transactional — it felt personal, like being guided through something sacred by someone who truly loves what he does and where he comes from. Standing in the humble home where Bob Marley was born, taking in the family photos, walking the same ground he walked as a boy — I had to pause more than once just to take it all in. And the mausoleum dedicated to his mother stopped me in my tracks. It is a stunning tribute that speaks directly to the central, irreplaceable role she played in the Marley family. Seeing where she, his youngest brother, his grandparents, and other family members rest — surrounded by those hills and that quiet — was almost spiritual. If you are traveling to Jamaica alone and wondering whether to make the journey up those winding mountain roads — go. Mr. Winston will take care of you. This is not just a tour. It is a pilgrimage.

Operator response

I'm so happy you all enjoyed the day both with your driver and the eximent at the Blue Hole and the Dunn's River falls, the defrent medicinal plants, the Jerk chicken at Scotches and just about everything for the day. It was indeed a pleasure for me to be your driver for the day, and i look forward to see you all again. Thank again for choosing Tour Jamaica Today. Stay bless.
